the myth of flat earth debunked again

I'll bet the flerf who came up with this meme thought he was being sooo clever, while in reality it is just stupid. It's even dumber than their depiction of the Suez canal as the chord of an arc.

No more stupider than a spinning globe.

No, it is infinitely more stupid.

But curvature IS a fact. A well attested fact in fact.

You cannot explain this sequence of photos, at the Strait of Magellan in Chile, with a flat Earth. It's impossible.

You can clearly see the ship is vanishing because of limited optics. It’s not making a drop.

What a spinning globe ? I quite agree.

No it's not vanishing because of 'limited optics', nor is it actually dropping, you've got that sequence backwards. It's coming up and over the horizon, towards the viewer.

No, flat Earth is infinitely more stupid. I thought I was clear on that but I guess I wasn't.

Also, no-one has still explained why at 70 miles on an earth that is supposed to be flat, I cannot see the Isle of Man with the naked eye from the North Wales coast. You least of all.

You can see the quality is getting better as it gets more into view. Get better optics and you will see the full ship again.

Newsflash: you live on that spinning globe, and nothing you can say will change that fact.

It’s not spinning. Mickelsen Morley experiment proved that.

Notice how in the photoset, the only parts of the boat that are 'out of focus' is the bottom part of the ship, while as it gets closer, the 'focus' gets better from the top down.

That's not a question of 'better optics', that's called a haze. If it was just a question of 'better optics', the entirety of the ship would be in focus or out of focus the whole time, not partially throughout.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

It’s not spinning. Mickelsen Morley experiment proved that.

You mean Michelson-Morley experiment, which was an experiment to test for aether, its substance and properties and showing that they didn't exist and was not an experiment to simply show that the Earth spun?

Despite the fact that in, in its simplest form, the mathematics of ballistics for guns and artillery requires the knowledge of the fact that the Earth spins to make sure that shots land on target at far distances?

It’s because the water in front it takes place of the limited optics. Find a better video where they use a stronger zoom.

Not too worry I'm sure you will one day.

It measured the movement of the earth.

Artillery uses test shots. Snipers I think are full of [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse].

It’s not spinning. Mickelsen Morley experiment proved that.

It rotates on its axis and moves around the sun.
"Spinning" is Apple Sky's word.

That first comment doesn't even make sense. What do you mean "Because the water in front takes place of the limited optics"? That's just insipid.

And I don't need to since I live in a coastal region near several ports and have seen ships and I know how the horizon works.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Not too worry I'm sure you will one day.

But I can't. On a flat Earth I should.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

It measured the movement of the earth.

To test for something called aether. They used the motion of the Earth to try and find aether, but they couldn't find aether.

Artillery uses test shots. Snipers I think are full of [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse].

Wow. Just... wow. You can think snipers are, but I know for a fact you are.

Why would this experiment be embarrassing to anyone.
