You are being intellectually dishonest.
Are you calling me "intellectually dishonest" to cover your misconceptions?
Water still follows the shape of the Earth, doesn't get flattened there by some unknown force.
Speaking of the location of the Panama Canal, how far is it to the center of the Earth from the Pacific Ocean's and Atlantic Ocean's sea level? Again, how far is it from sea level at that location to the center of your alleged Earth?
PlatTerra your signature line is completely dishonest too. The curvature of the Earth has been measured lol?in many ways.
The computation for the distance to the horizon for different heights above sea level is just one example of how the curvature of the earth has been measured.
Then tell me what is the verified surface curvature of Florida and I will remove my signature.
It would depend on what section of Florida it would be measured .
The curvature is just the distance involved in comparison with the distance of the circumference of the Earth.
The example I mentioned in my post may not be a direct measurement of the curvature of the Earth but it definitely is prove of the evidence of the curvature of the earth.
Unless you want to call that as false....And the U.S. Navy and all its Lookouts are liars and part of the Conspiracy ?
The example was from the U.S. Navy's " Manual For Lookouts "
Which show the distance to the horizon for different heights above the level of the sea.
If the earth was flat the FE idea seems to be that a person could see at some far distance and only limited by the Haze of the so-called "atmoplane" .
In reality the person on the real Earth can see is limited by the distance he can see to the horizon
And the distance the person can see to the horizon depends on high he is above the level of the sea or the land.
That is why, on early ships, the man in the crow's nest, mounted high on one of the masts of the ship, could see farther than the man on the bridge of the ships.
Atmospheric conditions play a part in how far a person can see , too, of course.
If the earth was flat , the man on the bridge could see just as far as the man in the crow's nest.
There would be no need for crow's nests on ships if the earth was flat.
Of course this is all really elementary.
Everyone but Flat Earthers seem to be aware the Earth is not a Flat Earth.
The real question is " When will the FE Community Accept Defeat ? "
I think it is something like that last line of the University Of Texas song :
" The eyes of Texas are upon you..........'Til Gabriel blows His Horn ! "
LOL
