Alright guys,

This is gonna sound crazy. But...the Earth is round.

You can't decide that by vote.

Your the one that thinks the earth looks flat?




????


 Bulma.  It’s been posted extensively that with a small enough frame of reference, you can make anything look “flat” to the lone human eye that is a poor measuring device.



As for stupid meme about a beach ball or basketball looking flat when you look at a tiny piece under a microscope, there is a bit of a gaping hole in your logic.


The below with a camera with a built in zoom lens with a macro lens adapter shows just because you think it looks flat isn’t evidence of it being actually flat.



The same case that has been proven many times in different ways.

Measures “flat” with a straight edge with a small frame of reference.



The tank actually is big enough to have a gentle curve.



What should the curve look like to a person 6 foot tall for an earth 30,000 times, or more, greater in diameter than the tank?


Where the human has a very small frame of reference on the earth.

Lets help our eyes out…

Where you also ignore the dip of the horizon.

Flat Earth horizon still wouldn't look flat!




Compressing the photo makes it easier to see.

Cherry picking data would be only accepting stuff you like.


Which has been explained to you.

Concorde: A Photographic Tribute: A Photographic...
by Adrian Meredith







Notice in the picture of the Concorde where the earth is below the jet.  That is significant in terms of a fish eye lens.  The video explains this.

For the Concorde not to be distorted by a fish eye lens, the jet would have to be perfectly in the middle horizontal.  It’s not.  And the horizon under the jet at bottom of the frame would have the horizon distorted up.




Which is why the fisheye lens in you presented videos are BS.



So.  Yes.  There is curvature of the earth.


 Only there is no such curvature drop.


Then why is the bottom of this tower increasingly physically blocked from view with distance by the curvature of the earth where zooming doesn’t unblocked the blocked portion back into view.

Bulma.  Notice zooming in didn’t reveal more of the tower physically blocked from view.  The zoom made the image bigger.   By the shape of the structure, zooming in didn’t reveal more of the structure physically blocked by earh’s curvature.


Where Bulma.  FE doesn’t even have a working explanation for phases of the moon and why lunar eclipses interrupt the cycle.  Where it’s just demonstrable proof of the heliocentric model.

Again. It's not a popularity contest. Consensus doesn't equal science.

See post above with proof FE is a lie.

Perhaps not, but science does lead to consensus.
Science is what happens when preconception meets verification.
