Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.

I think everyone here understands what you're saying completely.

But you're not genuine with this though are you? This is some HIAGlike WUM isn't it??

1. Why do ships not fade into a dot but actually appear to sink (as they go past the visible horizon)?

2. Why doesn't a lunar eclipse cause a flat earth shadow to appear on the moon?

3. On a salt plain, why can you see further in the distance if you climb a tree?

The horizon is an effect of perspective, its the converging point of vision, its not a physical point that a ship can sail over, the higher your line of sight the further you can see because there is more ground in the lower half of your field of vision.

Its just another myth that ships sail over the horizon, they sail out of perspective and can be brought back into perspective given a powerful enough lens and clear enough atmospheric conditions as you can see here.

hollywood myth about snipers, and water in sink direction

curve of the earth is not taken into account in building railroads or bridges, the exception being the varrazano narrow

Flat basketballs confirmed. It's just a sport with frisbees.

Sorry, so you are actually being serious?? Come on really?

That video is some of your evidence?! Really? <laugh>

Of course you can see that boat when you zoom, that's because it's less than 12 miles away and not over the horizon. It just can't be seen when zoomed out on that camera. It's still there in the same spot. That video is just evidence of a zoomed out camera not being able to see something very small.

And to clarify a few of your statements:
"The converging point of vision" means absolutely nothing at all as a sentence.
"the higher your line of sight the... more ground in the lower half of your field of vision." means what exactly?

And some videos that ACTUALLY show a ship sailing beyond the visible horizon:

I repeat... are these boats sinking??

That's a terrible thing to post. <yikes>


Think of the families of those poor souls lost as they fell off the edge of the earth. <peacedove>

boats sailing out of the perspective of the lens, its no different
 
No different to what?

So the 'perspective of the lens' (which, to be clear, is a sentence that means nothing and you've made up) is to see the water and the boat but to also gradually start pushing a boat underneath the water??

Maybe it was a fish eye lens. <ok>
 
the earth is travelling at 66,600mph at a 66.6 degree tilted axis around the sun which is travelling at 486,000mph in the ever expanding universe, yet the stars have not moved in relation to us in thousands of years, they are fixed in the sky, except the "planets" aka wandering stars

If the Earth were to be flat, then the Solar System would be flat too, the Sun would be as flat as a Manila prostitute and don't mention the moon. I think the physics of gravity, energy and radiation pulls would be devastating for a flat world. I caught a flat fish once, a flounder it was called, maybe it shared your belief..<ok>

True that. If we were really moving like that, the sky should be full of lines, not pin pricks of light. <ok>
 
Why do Satellites move? If it was indeed a flat earth they just sit statically, wouldn’t they? Or are they controlled by NASA and other space stations as part of this illusion.

This is ****ing ridiculous.
 
Don't even go to iridium satellites, probably thinks there's a flashing torch in there somewhere..

there are no satellites, only high altitude balloons, satellites were invented by arthur c clarke in his science fiction novels
