Proof of the conspiracy

You do realize in the URL I gave you it explained the error in Rowbos experiment on why he thought the Earth was flat. Your experiment was likely simulary flawed. It even says in that entry that once this error was accounted for, all  further experiments showed the Earth was ROUND.

Because light does bend around the curvature of the Earth, allowing you, through a telescope which produces images based on light they recieved to see.

No, it does bend always. But a telescope lens has a much big aperture then your eye, allowing more light to be taken in and can see much more. That is why when looking at something in space too, the bigger aperture telescope you have the more you can see.
Also a telescope has more magnification then your eye, allowing you so see geater distances.

I am aware of what you speak but when it comes to something over the horizon that is how it works. bend all the way down to the telescope?  its bending up the curve, not down to the telescope. its not as if the light bends up the horizon, shoots up into the air and down into the scope, The light paths will be atthe same altitude and such as they bend around the curve, meaning the light that was entering your scope directly, will now just bend on its way there.

hahahaha light is bending up the curve hahahaha

I had to read this a few times before I understood what you were talking about. That's fucking hilarious.

So let me get this straight light isn't bending over the horizon as it travels anymore but is actually bending the horizon up? That's gold.

Look, light that reflects off the ship will curve around the horizon in RET. Good so far? Some of this light will curve so much that the photons will strike the back of your eye and this will cause the sensation known as 'sight'. While it is true that you can use a telescope to make more of these photons from a specific area hit the back of your eye what isn't true is that by using a telescope you can make the light curve any more. Therefore any light that went over your head before is not suddenly going to suddenly bend any further down just because you chuck a telescope there.

Would a pretty picture help?

the FEers need to show some proof then.  dont tell me the burden of proof is upon us, because everytime its fake or a conspiracy.  if you want to sway the opinion of almost everyone in the world then YOU need to show US proof.  not the other way around.  we already know we are right anyway.

... NO.

Im not saying it bends the horizon. Im saying as light travels over the horizon it will bend with the curve in the Earth at a consistent altitude.
The telescoe doesnt make the light curve, it absorbs and magnifies it!
and your ecplanation rehardng photons is bullocks, yes they do, but tht doesnt mean you cans eeeverythng. In the night sky you look up at Jupiter, it is merely a bright dot in the sky, but there is much more to it.

I completely agree that the burden of proof relies on the people setting out to convince others that they are wrong. It doesn't really make sense for somebody who believes in a flat earth to go out on to round earth forums and say you have a burden of proof to prove to me that the earth is round.

As for the conspiracy, if you bothered to read anything you would understand that the conspiracy hasn't been proven yet. It is merely a hypothesis that explains various phenomena such as photos from NASA. How is that hard to comprehend? If there was proof either way of whether the photos are fake or genuine then we could find out which model is a better description of the universe.

you are WAY in the minority.  round earth is already accepted by 99.99999% of the (round) world.  why would we have to prove that to you?  that doesnt make any sense.

btw there is proof.  LOTS of it.  all of that rotbeweirjwekjrwerp or whatever the hell his name is theories, which ALL OF YOU BELIEVE, have been disproven.  you guys dont have shit, not even a motive for a conspiracy.  its pathetic.  all of your guys response to everything is ridiculous!  "yea they must of had photoshop back in the day"  LMFAOROFL!  are you serious?  a giant ice wall no one has ever seen or taken pictures?  ok dude, tell me, if no one has ever seen it because they are guarding it, how do you know its there?  YOU HAVNT SEEN IT! the government is guarding an ice wall?  that hardly seems worth it to me.   if there was a conspiracy why do they send people out to space?  thats only very likely to ruin everything!

More sense than believing something just because almost everyone else believes it. That's called a fallacy.

The earth is flat. The authorities assert that it is not. Therefore, there must be a conspiracy.

That just proves how shaky your proof is.

but the point to the original question, is where is the PROOF that the earth is flat?

Where is the PROOF of a conspiracy?

There is endless proof (personal experience, videos, picture

science experiments and more)

yeah, you keep repeating that.... but the point to the original question, is where is the PROOF that the earth is flat? Where is the PROOF of a conspiracy? There is endless proof (personal experience, videos, picture, science experiments and more) that proves the earth is round, and no actual proof that it is flat. There is simply this group of people that SAYS the earth is flat and that the earth being round is a conspiracy, but offers no proof.

So I'll repeat the original question... "Could you provide the proof to support this argument?"

He asked for proof of the conspiracy. The proof of a flat earth is all over this forum (and outside your window).
