On a ship at sea where there is no structures you can view the horizon in the distance.
You can actually watch the sun appear from top to bottom starting in the east. You can also watch it disappear from bottom to the top at night.
I was on a cruise that took the exact sailing route and it passed under the Skyway Bridge, Tampa Bay, and we watched as the bridge sank into the horizon while the top was visible.
If the horizon was flat then the bridge would have appeared smaller as a whole.
If the earth was flat and stationary then at some point all waters would settle. Our weathering would be reducing down to nothing.
Ok brother.
First off, I want to make a
disclaimer by saying I respect you as a man (or woman if so), have no interest in calling you names or degrading your character in this conversation. I want to pick apart this whole thing and once and for all prove whether we live on a flat or round earth since it is such a controversial topic. Either way, it makes no difference to me the outcome because I seek truth, no ego attached. Much respect to you and yours.
This video raises 2 thought provoking points.
1) If you set a camera level with a flat surface, like a long table, and use a quarter to represent the starting from the edge. If you back it away from the edge it will eventually dip below the edge of the table out of sight. We can observe the sun behaving in the same fashion.
Now, I EMPHASIZE that the camera MUST be completely level, ie ground level. If the camera can SEE the table top it means that it is seeing the table from an angle above, and NOT completely level. When you were in that boat you were completely level with the horizon.
2) Why does the sun get so much bigger in scale even though it's 93 million miles away? It seems to me that the sun would always, no matter the tilt of the earth, be bigger in the morning when we are closer to it, and smaller in the evening when we are further away from it. However, time lapse photography shows that it is smallest at the horizon and biggest at midday.
BONUS ISSUE: This is for the space travelers.
What does fire need in order to burn? Oxygen right?
How can a rocket operate in space with no atmosphere? How can a spaceship launch from the moon if the moon has no oxygen?
They take this shit far...
