To the flat earth bashers who attack people and not ideas. I've seen too many of you - shameful…
I used to think flat earth was crazy also. Not any longer. Why? Empirical research.
-
"Curvature" of earth is 8" per mile squared.
-
Theoretically, objects should dip below line of sight as distance increases.
-
Now you have the elements to do some empirical research.
-
All that's needed is high-end camera w/zoom, Google earth and a well suited vantage point to shoot from.
-
Most extreme video/image I've seen is verifiable straight-shot of approx. 148 miles from coast of England to view a mountain range in Ireland. (think I got my islands right). There is no curvature.
-
As I understand there is a straight-shot video of 165 miles available also.
-
Dig around on YouTube - you'll find them. There is no curvature.
-
"Curvature" of earth should be seen at approx. 30-33,000 ft altitude. Don't let window(lens) distortion fool you. Ask to go to the pilot's cabin and view from there. There is no curvature.
-
Research video footage of high altitude balloons going up as far as 150 miles. There is no curvature.
-
Commercial flights do NOT use GPS to navigate. They follow strictly established flight paths based and standard navigation. There are sets of multi-lane paths established for EAST-WEST and WEST-EAST. Commercial pilots are trained not to talk about such things.
-
Research long distance flight navigation.
These are only a few tidbits. Do your own research.
Simple fact of the matter is Globe Earth is just another aspect of the mental programming and conditioning all you anons rage against. And it starts from birth.
It is profoundly hypocritical for you to write off flat earthers as nutjobs or illogical. You are behaving in the same manner as those smug elites you rage against.
I have witnessed some of the most epic cases of cognitive dissonance among the the professing "woke" folk on this subject. Such rage and hostility.
The fact is you may not be as woke as you think you are. Be humble and remain teachable.
Well kids, this sick tired old patriot has to leave. My seasons have come upon me. Don't expect me respond to anything. Life is too short.
