Proof that the earth is round
« on: January 26, 2007, 03:04:23 PM »
Go out in the ocean on a boat and look at the horizon. You can see the curvature of the earth.

Take a trip somewhere in a plane and look at the horizon. See above.


Case closed.... :idea:

I think what you saw were 'valleys' and 'mountains'.

You're hardly in a position to see the curvature of the eart from a basic plane.

curvature of the earth on the horizon can be seen from an airplane

No, I am 100% certain I saw curvature. There are no mountains and valleys in the ocean you simpleton...

You tell us. Seems like you got out of school altogether around the 3rd grade.

In that case I couldn't tell you, right?

I dunno about you, but the horizon looks pretty flat to me.

;)

As a sidenote, even on the round Earth model, you can NOT see the curvature of the horizon from ground level. Anyone who says they can is just proving that you're fibbing your results in favor of the round Earth model.
