Either it's flat or a much larger sphere. There is just no actual other way to explain it.

Most flat earth types assume a massless earth and forget to account for it in their experimental designs. #1 most common rookie error: assuming the zero carries.
>>
>>17037565
the line of sight distance you can see to the horizon is the square root of twice your height times the radius of the earth. If you eyeball this calculation at different altitudes, you can see the curvature numerically. This is how the ancient greeks knew the earth was round, you can see further as you go higher up.
>>
>>17037698
The Greeks also weren't complete fucking retards like flatties.

The sun looks closer when view from the top of earth just like a light in your room when you turn it on. Maybe its' still 93 million light years away or maybe its' not. Makes no sense though. As the earth is the thing heating us up and cooling us down.

the bonneville salt flat is so elevation uniform you can easily go out and compare the real curvature against the expected flat earth and find out you're mentally retarded

It's called atmospheric refraction. the question of why Chicago's skyline is visible from the opposite shore of Lake Michigan has been asked and answered a million times

There is no need to be(lie)ve anyone or any authority or anyone on some imageboard to prove flat plane
Anyone can go somewhere with enough unobstructed visibility to see it themselves
Here's a test I did myself recently:

>An elevation of 7 meters at 29km away would make 30 meters hidden by curvature.
That's true but I don't believe your elevation was 7 meters.
There's a rocky hill right next to your supposed observing site that would put you 20-21 meters above sea level.
This spot would hide around a quarter of the water tower which coincides with what we see in your image.

There are two possible scenarios:
1. You mistook your location which would make you retarded.
2. You deliberately lied about your location which would make you a dishonest piece of shit.

Why a laser? Proof is with every lighthouse. No need to move your ass out of the basement, height above sea level and range is marked on any seamap (sure this is faked by "them" because of ....).
>>
>>17037744
muh refraction is cause of the "wobbliness" of images, it doesn't make light go around the "curve" shill :)
>>
>>17038736
Technically refraction does make light curve in exactly the way he described and that's a well known phenomenon. But it's not sufficient to explain the discrepancy.

More likely, the answer is what this guy spelled out:

Nothing spooky about it, sure, weird, but it's a debate about the shape of the earth.
>>
>>17039701
There is no debate; it's a globe. Anything else is a mental illness.
>>
>>17039807
Then you must have a mental illness. Of course it's just DaveExplains and his followers trying to troll on /sci/ because he thinks know what space is.
>>
>>17039807
No one has been to space. NASA has been to cyberspace using CGI and only did these things underwater. You have no proof of your evidence and probable debunks that are just observations of opinions that Dave has nothing to gain for his useless channel. Meanwhile he gets someone who has a mental illness that he mostly triggers people into making Dave look like the victim.
>>
>>17039807
Why do you think there are debates? Do you think they end completely like with religious ones? As it's ongoing. As not everyone has a mental capacity to let that kind of thing go. You have no proof, you're just a ESL tranny who is deluded thinking are so called " real facts" without looking into it more. Shape of the earth is always up to debate.

Unethical Dave has no value to the community rather than his cowardly insults on his comments, because he's too much of a pussy. Despite debating people, he's not a good debater. Just empty insults. That's about it.

Exactly what I thought you would say. You have no idea about each reality nor respect people's beliefs, Mr Hypcrite and using the most overused cliche response you got in your pocket. You're unwise about what the debate is about, flat or globe? It's nothing personal, but you're a insecure faggot lol.

the 5 effects of "atmospheric refraction" according to wikipedia, by Thomas Andrew Young San Diego State University
>raise, lower, stretch, shorten, mirages
Guess what isnt found at the geometric horizon?
>none of the 5 effects

Its a claim of cause and effect relationship with air density bringing up objects over curvature. Paper and citation needed for that.
snells mathematical law doesnt explain a 'cause' for light to bend between 2 media you know why? Because its a mathematical description of WHAT will happen when that light passes the boundary.
You do not have a mathematical law for what happens to objects appearing over distances in a medium of air density. That means youre left with experimental burden for your claim
>>

>>17039807
Mental illness is when someone does not see what others see, and you have no idea about reality and not repeating the same phrase, you angry little man, for someone who claims mental illness, you seemly would have a mental breakdown yourself, so you cannot contradict me.

Here's an idea that has been on my mind recently and if I wasn't a poorfag and I had access to a machine shop I would definitely try this.

Build a mount on which a balanced lever can pivot around vertically.
On the end of the lever you let a high focal length telescope dangle around a pivot which ensures that the telescope is always parallel with the ground. An adjustable weight at the bottom of the telescope would achieve this.
As you pull down on the lever the elevation of the telescope will increase and if you're aiming it at a distant target that is partially obscured by the horizon you will both see more of the target and that the horizon will dip more and more below the line of sight of the telescope.

Would this convince flat earthers? No but I think it would look pretty cool.
If you make it really sturdy and use low friction bearings I think you would get a pretty smooth transition between the low and high spot.
The attached video is a simulation of it. The camera view is modelled after a 1500mm focal length Schmidt-Cassegrain with a full-frame sensor (36x24mm).
>>
If the earth is flat how come I can't see from my house all the way to china?
Flattards have NO response to this.
>>
>>17040870
Because not everyone has a retarded vision as you. lol
>>
You dont actually realize the death sentence this brings to the heliocentric balltard cult
You might actually be looking at the most important picture here on the internet and you dont realize it
It doesnt stop there. Balltards have to deal with geometric parallels, horizontals, verticles, elevation angles, dip angles, Star GPs, and circles of equal altitude
2020 was the year of the black swan and it put the globe in the coffin. Everything else told is a cope
>>
>>17040853
Been done, you don't even need any of that to see it working. Just holding a camera and raise and lower it by hand you can see the effect clearly.
>Would this convince flat earthers?
No, it's not about evidence. They didn't come to the belief by evidence, they won't leave it with evidence. Most of them (like this thread) are just paid posters anyways, I doubt you will ever actually encounter anyone who sincerely believes in this.
>>
>>17040925
paranoid globe earther anon.

>>17040870
Ask them why they can't see the southern star from north america
>>
>>17040978
World is so big, earth would be still flat to them, as they or anyone else cannot see it well from the supposed Dome that's around us with the stars attached on the Dome. Maybe that can be a argument to take. Dog Star Sirius literally is part of the Star Portals, if no one has heard of that. And literally has dogs on it. Dog Souls. Not that hard to figure out knowing Dog=God. Coincidence? I bet you think so.
>>
Think of both sides like a mirror as well, one could be in reverse upside down and the other side as normal. But still would be flat. Right?
>>
>>17040870
>>17040978

Whence the assumption that vision functions like that in the first place? Given three points, there is no reason to believe that one can see the second and third from the first, the first and third from the second, or the first and second from the third, across any and all distances and irrespective of obstacles.
>>
>>17040915
>These 2 photos are taken with the SAME Camera and Camera Height 4 days apart.
So why are the images different if it isn't caused by atmospheric refraction which is affected by the weather?
>>
>>17041051
Read closely
>your physical sphere edge horizon which blocks boats and buildings has moved
Nobody ever claimed there were zero air conditions taking place here. You call these conditions "atmo refraction"
name a single effect of "atmospheric refraction" found at the horzion. It doesn't have any of them
>>
If the earth was spherical surely somebody would have mentioned it by now? Like, at school or something? You guys really believe something so far fetched? People around the world need to stand against this propaganda. Where is the money going? Always follow the money.
