[QUOTE="JacksBratt, post: 72747057, member: 355371"] OK.... What if there is an Island on the lake I grew up on and it is six miles away but I can see the shoreline and watch the waves as they lap up on the shore? I can see people skating on a rink by it's shore, in the winter... all of this if I use binoculars... If the earth is a globe... or should I say, If the globe is the size that they say that it is... the Island should be behind and hidden by 24 feet of curvature. I should not see the shore. I should not see the people on the rink... even at three miles I should not see someone unless they are taller than six feet and then only the part of them that is over six feet. It just doesn't add up. Is that "readily observable" enough for you? That is what got me questioning this whole thing in the first place.... we......can.......see......too......far. Everything else can have an argument but you cannot counter this fact. Since you are the one who thinks that we see with our own eyes...... take this as a challenge. Curving 8 inches in every mile is mighty fast and you don't have to have a 50 mile span to check it for yourself. [/QUOTE]
