Flat Earthers - I don't get it, at all.

We can talk about the numbers if you want, in relation to the mountains you can see from where you live, but the problem is the surrounding area. If the elevation drops over the next 25 miles, you're going to be able to see much further as you effective are looking from a higher location to a lower one. The only real way to test that (as I mentioned before) is to look at something that doesn't have an elevation change.

Light can refract well over a mile, different temperatures and pressures do some funky things with the way it moves through different mediums, I mean, stars twinkling is a form of light refraction. Also, a mirage for example, can literally look like a reflection in the sand, because the temperature of the sand is causing the light to bend upwards. I found a picture:

Light bending a few hundred feet over many miles wouldn't be out of the question.

The elevation raises by a couple hundred feet.

I'm sure light can refract if you're looking up directly into all the moisture, pressure, and temp differences. On land these variables should be about the same.

I'm not opposed to a few hundred feet of refraction but we are talking about over 5000 feet.

Maybe we are talking about two different things. Of course if you're in an airplane you can also observe a circular rainbow. I'm talking about light refracting land mass in front of me. You're saying that in my field of vision is basically a mirage and that the actual mountain I'm looking at is 5000+ feet below the horizon is somehow being bent back up to my eye level.

Have you ever seen heat waves in the Summer? Did you see the picture of the mirage? Did you read the posted article on light refraction?

The narrative? The powers are corroborating to make us believe the earth is a sphere LMAO.

It's just too stupid to dive into is all. No one has to answer your questions. The evidence and consensus is that it's a sphere. You have to prove it's flat, get to work!

Also, no one believes what you say you see or cares. It's all anecdotal bullshit in support of your theory. Those type of observations count for nothing

LMAO. Ok tough guy. I did the work and put the numbers out there but you don't want to take the challenge. Who cares? It's crazy you took the time to read the thread and actually reply. Cheers! Man, this is fun.

Of course I have. I did read the wiki link. Nothing in either of those has led me to believe that light can bend back against the "gravity" of the earth more than 5000 feet.

Flat earth challenge? Never said that. I just provided two real world problems and nobody has taken 15 minutes to look at the numbers. Just lots of mean reply's for no reason at all. What is everyone scared of? If it's round, it's round. If it's flat, it's flat. If it's a triangle it's a triangle. Still gotta live your life and be a good human.

Why you so angry?

You haven't given anything of substance, because there is no substantial evidence. You admitted that yourself.

I'm out. I don't have time to play this game anymore at the moment.

The locations and the distance of where I can see this mountain. You can google it's prominence, and total height and see what my elevations are and see what the supposed curvature of the earth would be.

In a separate case. I detailed locations where I could see a stoplight on a stop sign from 12 miles away. Probably more if I tried.

Oh my god, I just did the math. The earth is flat!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for showing me the light!!!!!

There's more than me (and I'm not even a flat earther, just someone with questions). Nobody wants to step into the light to take the abuse from all of you. haha.

Fair. What about Saturn? A ring around a flat planet?

The moon shows us it's same face all the time but it "rolls" across the sky like a coin would.

1. The curvature people reference is an average. It is not a constant.

2. The earth changes shape and will continue to change shape.

3. To know whether or not you can see point A from point B at any place on earth you would have to know the elevation of both along with the curvature between the two.
