Your answers mean nothing when based in assumptions that you then argue with yourself over.

Let's read #1 again: 1) The horizon always appears perfectly flat 360 degrees around the observer regardless of altitude. All amateur balloon, rocket, plane and drone footage show a completely flat horizon over 20+ miles high.

This was explained to you more than once, but you refuse to even try and understand the implications. Horizon line-is always at eye level. Picture yourself at the seashore and looking out at the ocean you notice that the water meets the sky at your eye level. This never changes. You may be in an airplane 1000 feet up and the level that the ocean meets the sky is still at your eye level! Or you may be lying down on the beach and the ocean level drops with you. Think of it as an invisible plane that cuts through everything, that always exists at eye level. http://studiochalkboard.evansville.edu/lp-intro.html Now that we have established the actual facts, let's use simple logic. The horizon, always horizontal, at eye level for all 360 degrees means that curvature does not exist. If we lived on a ball with the imagined radius, a visible 360 degree horizontal horizon would not be possible. A visible 360 degree horizontal horizon is what has been established, therefore the Earth we live on cannot have that radius and r is falsified.

amy G Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Basic Perspective: Eye Level and Horizon Line Horizon Line and Eye Level The terms “horizon line” and “eye level” are often used synonymously. Horizon line/eye level refer to a physical/visual boundary where sky separates from land or water. It is the actual height of the viewer’s eyes when looking at an object, interior scene, or an exterior scene. https://courses.byui.edu/art110_new/art110/week01/eye_level.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy G Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Basic Perspective: Converging Lines The edges of objects appear to converge or taper as they recede in the distance to a common point on the eye level or horizon line. In Linear Perspective this is referred to as a Vanishing Point. Note: Converging lines are parallel in reality, but they appear to converge because of diminution. In art this is called “perspectively parallel.” Examples https://courses.byui.edu/art110_new/art110/week01/converging_lines.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amy G Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The Horizon / Eye Level is the axis around which a perspective drawing is constructed. In perspective drawing, the horizon also happens to be the viewer's eye-level. When we are outdoors we use the horizon as a point of reference to judge the scale and distance of objects in relation to us. In art, we tend to use the term 'eye level', rather than 'horizon', as in many pictures the horizon is hidden by walls, buildings, trees, hills etc. To illustrate the significance of the horizon / eye level in perspective drawing we have added some tourists to our linear and aerial perspective scene. Note how all four figures share the same eye level - i.e. the horizon of the picture. This suggests that they are all the same height and are standing on the same plane. Because the horizon happens to be our eye level, it also suggests that the figures are the same height as any viewer of the picture. As a result, the organization of scale and distance in the drawing makes good visual sense. If you click on the flip icon it should reveal our second image. Although the figures are still the same size, their eye levels no longer have any relationship to the eye level of the picture. As a result, the scale of the figures is totally confused. This demonstrates the importance of the horizon / eye level to the organization of scale and distance in a perspective drawing. It also illustrates the meaning of Leonardo's famous quote that 'Perspective is to painting what the bridle is to the horse, the rudder to a ship'. https://www.artyfactory.com/perspective_drawing/perspective_2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizon reference : http://www.ringbell.co.uk/info/hdist.htm Trigonometry reference: http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/scol/calrtri.htm You say the Earth is flat. Science and people with brains say it gently curves away. Whichever of the two the horizon will ALWAYS and must ALWAYS be below the level of the eye. This is basic, child's play trigonometry. Example 1: b = height of person and where their eyes are - I used 6ft. h = distance to horizon using the global formula for that height = 3 miles = 15840 ft. Angle theta is 0.217 degree. THAT is how far down the eye needs to look to see the horizon. Nobody has the capacity to discern a difference between that angle and level. Now in your second example: b = height of 1000 ft. h = distance to horizon using the global formula for that height = 38.7 miles = 204336 ft. Angle theta is 0.28 degrees. Again THAT is how far down the eye needs to look to see the horizon. Nobody has the capacity to discern a difference between that angle and level. Let's go really high: b = height of 100,000 ft. h = distance to horizon using the global formula for that height = 387.9 miles = 2048112 ft. Angle theta is 2.8 degrees. THAT is how far down the eye needs to look to see the horizon. Is it possible for somebody to know they are looking down at just under 3 degrees of arc? Doubtful but totally irrelevant anyway.

Finally the variance in elevation is worked out against the globe model. I then double it to give a reasonable 90 degree field of view. It's mathematics so I can see why you would be confused.

Plus I don't trust these lying arseholes anyway. Curvy lasers? Hmmmm whodathunkit. Maybe bflat needs to understand some very simple physics. It takes a 0.217 degree downward variance of the "straight" laser for it to be pointed down at the horizon. So not only can lasers easily "exceed" the global defined distances with simple refraction, some yoootub muppet "accidentally" points the laser down at the horizon and it skips off like a stone.

It's big you see. Biggy big big.com https://flatearth.ws/high-altitude-balloon Curvature of the Horizon in High-Altitude Balloon Footage High-altitude balloon footage is often abused by flat-Earthers to show us that the Earth is flat when seen from a high altitude. We analyzed more than two dozens of footage taken from high-altitude balloons on YouTube, and we can easily conclude the curvature is there and usually easy to spot, including in the cases where flat-Earthers use the video as ‘proof’ of a flat Earth. The majority of the ‘evidence’ are screenshots taken from these videos. The original videos were usually taken using fisheye lenses. In these videos, there are moments where the horizon appears flat, convex and concave. Their M.O. is to cherry-pick moments where the horizon appears flat and present them as the ‘evidence’ of the flat Earth, ignoring the fact it appears concave and convex in many other moments in the video. To analyze the videos, we try to find a moment where the horizon crosses the center point of the image. In this case, if the horizon is flat, it should appear flat. And conversely, if the horizon is curved, then should appear curved. This method works even if a fisheye was used to take the video. A straight line will always appear straight when it crosses the center, regardless of the lens being used. We analyzed over two dozens of high-altitude balloon footages on YouTube, and the curvature is there every single time. These videos are definitely not proof of a flat Earth. On the contrary, they are evidence that the Earth is spherical. Videos Used in the Illustration These are links to the videos used in the illustration.

I agree. This isn't one. This is a collection of responses that have been systematically buried and consistently ignored by people claiming the Earth is flat. To me, given the truly astonishing amount of evidence saying it is a sphere that is like believing in fairies in your living room.This thread targets those members who may be in a little doubt from some of the videos that get put up on youtube. But, in this case none of it gets buried because it's all on page 1. Here is a short and by no means concise list: The Sun sets without any size change and that is impossible in itself. The vanishing point is named thus! The Sun's motion through the sky is the same at every angle, location and time. It NEVER varies - 15 degrees of angular distance per hour. On any map of the flat earth, the two tropic circles HAVE to be different circumferences - the Sun HAS to increase speed for the larger one!! It provably does not differ in speed anywhere, any time. There has been not one iota of scientific measurement that corresponds to a flat earth, including sudden speed changes from the Sun. The Moon is inverted in the Southern Hemisphere. At a range of distances starting with the unfeasible Everest height for the Sun - the horizon is a ridiculous distance away. ANYONE can take an image through a quality telescope of Mars/Jupiter etc. and see them rotating. ANYONE can take an image through a filter and see the Sun rotating. Lunar eclipses occur where the Earth moves across the Sun's path to the Moon. There are so many problems with long haul flight distances on the common flat earth map - it is quite absurd. Australia on the regulation flat earth map is 5,000 miles across!! Star fields rotate in opposite directions by hemisphere. Gravity - there is no offer of a workable counter explanation. Sea tides. There is no mechanism where the Sun is able to illuminate half a disc. It is an absurd magic spotlight needed to do this. It is impossible for anything including the Sun and Moon to drop below eye level when they are always above it. There are thousands of orbiting satellites. Including the ISS. There are hundreds of thousands of images taken in space over the decades. There is live footage from the ISS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY4UJceEaVg / https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/iss_ustream.html Amongst the orbiting satellites are 24/7 weather satellites downloading realtime data. Satellite TV dishes receiving data from a point out in space. This list could go on for pages and pages. Some of the answers given by flat earthers to these are amongst the most absurd things written on the internet. Hello - echo chamber? Any takers? Anyone gonna answer any of these? Come on flat earthers, surely your model can explain the basic, basics of human observation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nice Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Two irrefutable statements... The Sun, no matter what distance it is away from Earth, changes elevation all over the world during the day. It is simultaneously observed by half the Earth. The scenarios that follow are used to demonstrate speed variances. The height of the Sun for this purpose is not relevant..... Point one on the globe is where the Sun is directly above: Just as an example using 3000 miles and the Sun changing from 15 degrees/30 degrees/45 degrees from zenith(directly overhead) - that is 3 one hour movements everywhere on Earth - proven and irrefutable. http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/scol/calrtri.htm Little a is 3000 Big A is 75 degrees - It has travelled 804 miles from zenith. So average 804 mph. Little a is 3000 Big A is 60 degrees - It has travelled 1730 miles from zenith. 1730-804 = 926. So average 926 mph now! Little a is 3000 Big A is 45 degrees - It has travelled 3000 miles from zenith. 3000-1730 = 1270. So average 1270 mph now! Point two simultaneoulsy on the globe is where the Sun is at 75 degrees to observer at its highest elevation: Little a is 3000 Big A is 60 degrees - It has travelled 1730 miles from zenith. It began 804 miles away from zenith. So average 926 mph. Little a is 3000 Big A is 45 degrees - It has travelled 3000 miles from zenith. 3000-1730 = 1270. So average 1270 mph now! Little a is 3000 Big A is 15 degrees - It has travelled 11,200 miles from zenith. 11200-3000 = 8200. So average 8200 mph average now! In hour 1 at two different points the Sun is travelling 804 mph and 926 mph at the same time!! In hour 2 at two different points the Sun is travelling 926 mph and 1270 mph at the same time!! In hour 3 at two different points the Sun is travelling 1270 mph and 8200 mph at the same time!! Now BASIC mathematics tells us the Sun MUST be covering that distance, so it is not apparent distance. These are actual figures. HELLO Flat Earthers? Any takers? Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gone Fishing... Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 @Mr. Nice A request / question.. My Maths is extremely rusty. There is an accepted formula to measure the amount of fall / curve. Something something something SQUARED. This gives the expected curve. Which is a big point that is contested. I read recently (but didn't totally understand - hence the rusty statement) or saw in a video that the accepted formula doesn't actually give the curve of a BALL. It gives the curve of an oval...? It's an 'exponential formula' hence the oval and not the ball curve..? Can you please look into this and possibly explain it in a way that anyone and everyone can get their heads around. Or am I barking up a wrong tree..? BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Sawdust Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Earth is 70% water. Water is always level on its surface. No allowance for curvature is made in bridge and railway construction. The Panama Canal was built without any regard to curvature....As was the 102 mile long bridge in China. The earth is flatter than the flattest pancake in Flat Town, Flatsville. Deal with it. Edited March 14, 2022 by Ziggy Sawdust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learnt that even with 12 minutes of video the guy still couldn't explain it. He said they weren't in a straight line, which is completely irrelevant. He said it was an illusion and gave no other reason except that they weren't exactly straight linear. None of that alters the fact that they disappear over the horizon just like dozens of images of wind turbines, ships and oooh, let's not forget the bleedin' Sun! 37 minutes ago, Ziggy Sawdust said: Pro globe earth videos can be automatically embedded but Flat earth videos no longer can....Courtesy of You Tube. Now why would that be I wonder. Nonsense. Don't attribute your personal failure to accomplish this as factual for everyone. p.s. That Comedy Time bloke sure kicked everyone's butt didn't he!
