Hey! I was wondering why I can't see Mount Everest. If the Earth is flat, then I should be able to see the highest mountain from every part of the disc.Have you read Earth: Not a Globe? There is a link in the FAQ. It's all very clearly explained there.
And if you think the air is causing low visibilty on greater distances then prove it with an equation.
Hey! I was wondering why I can't see Mount Everest. If the Earth is flat, then I should be able to see the highest mountain from every part of the disc.Our atmosphere has a slight non-transparent effect to it due to the gases and air born particles within it, the reason for my lack of equasions is due to the varying conditions of the weather (random constrainsts of mist, dust, smog etc etc) but needless to say I can show proof of this with an experiment:

According to Tom Bishop, a nice telescope can restore things that's being blocked physically. And as I can understand it, a nice telescope can only be made 150 years ago, the modern optics technology just can't compare to the optical glasses 150 years ago. That is why we can not make a nice telescope to restore things that are behind physical obstacle.Maybe he was refering to a telescope so long that it covers the distance between yourself and the object you're trying to see and that the atmosphere within the telescope was completely transparent, fuck knows though, this is Tom we're on about.

The air isn't totally transparent just like it isn't in the RE model. This plus polution makes it impossible.Yep,that's right.
But it's also boring. Let's get derailing, how is everyone?I'm feeling house shaped.. much like the earth!

There is a nice picture in another thread of a spherical Earth from above the atmosphere and you can't even see the continents in direct view.
Hey! I was wondering why I can't see Mount Everest.Because you are too poor to afford the trip I assume.

Run tap water into a transparent bottle and hold the bottle, then look at the bottle, you can see the palm of your hand grasping the bottle, now adding non-transparent contaminates (cloudy lёmon cordial should do the trick) and look into the bottle again... your hand is less visible, this is what happens the further away you are from a object you are trying to view. The reason why you see stars on a clear night is because there is less non-transparent atmosphere between the stars and yourself than you and an object a few miles away on a misty day (inwhich you will have difficulty trying to see).
Assuming we could, of course, if I fired a perfect straight laser beam with as much power as needed to account for air loss, on FE at everestfrom a high mountain spot from where I live, would it eventually hit it then?

With a sufficiently powerful laser which can cut through the density of the atmosphere, I don't see why not.
We should pray that such a powerful laser is never developed. It would surely spell the end of civilization as we know it.
No it would just prove you tards wrong. How about this you stand at a point many miles away from Everest yet with Mount everest visible say at an alititude of 100 ft above sea level and point the laser perfectly level at Mt Everest. How would you explain the fact that the laser's dot on Mt Everest would appear at greater than 100ft above seal level?

No as a few people emntioned your own "adjustments" due to the wind nullify your own experiment.
Thats not proof with lasers. Thats a demonstration of how to totally ignore frame of reference, and he used a laser to help demonstrate it. There is a difference.We should pray that such a powerful laser is never developed. It would surely spell the end of civilization as we know it.

Firstly, that experiment has never been done, so we don't know what we would see.
Secondly, the earth has already been proven flat through lasers:

Face it Tom. In the scientific community, roundyness is the status quo, so it's your job to prove your theory over ours.
And as mentioned, the frame of reference wasn't taken into account. Anywhere in the world, on an FE or on an RE, the string will drool straight down.Face it Tom. In the scientific community, roundyness is the status quo, so it's your job to prove your theory over ours.
You're on the Flat Earth Society Forums. You're not on the Round Earth Society forums. You came here to confront us. We did not confront you.
Therefore, since the earth is flat by pretense here, the burden of proof is entirely on you to provide evidence for your model of the earth.
Besides, I've already given you guys studies and experiments which concludes that the earth is flat (scroll up). If you don't like the results you can always repreform the experiments.

Can you give me an example please?QuoteAnd as mentioned, the frame of reference wasn't taken into account. Anywhere in the world, on an FE or on an RE, the string will drool straight down.
But "down" in one area on the Round Earth is not the same vector as "down" on another part of the earth.
Unless you are claiming they are, of course, thus admitting that the earth is flat.

It's entirely possible it's just magic. We all know that the government pays car companies to make cars that produce smog, thus obscuring Everest. Because, also, complex holographic technology that makes it appear that a boat can go over the horizon then sink, this is not in fact proof that the Earth is round, but proof that we are all tools.
The reason we cannot see mt everest is simply down to the conspiracy. They have hung a sky-coloured piece of card around it, when you get so far away you can't see it due to the card. The card was painted by Dulux, who are in on the conspiracy.
You're new, so I'll just tell you straight out.
NO.

I don't think you have provided evidence to yourselves yet. The death throws of Flat Earth Hypothesis is the "mass conspiracy".
I suppose all I need to do is take pictures of a ship sinking in the horizon, and then increase my optical zoom to show it is still at the same "depth" of supposed sinking regardless of zoom.
I have pretty much come to the conclusion that this entire site is a joke. Tom, and his drones are here for a laugh. If you Flat Earth Hypothesizers agree with me on this site being a joke, just say something similar to "No we are serious".
uhm guys an answer to the question: because the earth is round ;D
