Beeep WRONG. Minute 1:00 of the video, starts zooming in much more yet you can't see more of the ship. Try again, you have 2 more tries.

Your dishonesty is showing, I don't even have to watch the clip to know what's going on:

Beep wrong again. Thats 2 tries, 1 to go. The camera used in the video is a p900 with a 83x optical zoom. Think hard for the last one.

Excellent camera, my point remains.

The horizon line is formed inside your eye due to the angle light enters at, the eye or camera in this case is an integral part in the process that forms the image you see. Once the image is formed on the CCD via the optics it can be further zoomed in on (digital zoom), but due to obvious physical limitations hidden objects can no longer be projected above the horizon.

The zoom only "pushes" the horizon (convergence line) away beyond the limits of our unaided vision. Even with the zoom there is still a horizon and the distant ship is now just slightly beyond the zoomed horizon. Hence the bottom of the ship obscured. If you had a more powerful zoom or telescope you would see more of the bottom of the ship. In any case, the fact you zoomed in over what appears to be a large distance, proves the flat earth. If the earth truly was a sphere then the zoom would'nt have seen anything.

Great topic, I am in for the long haul. 

I am a globe guy, but how does a carpenter level work on a globe, how does water seek it's own level on a globe, how does a gyroscope work in the South.  Looking at a globe, your eyes and logic would support flat earth, but everything we are taught and all the scientists and NASA say it is round.

Saw a picture the other day "showing" clouds moving behind the sun which someone claimed as proof of a flat earth.

Yet funny thing is even the majority of flat earth believers will confirm that they still believe the moon is smaller then the sun but the moon is closer. So clouds should move behind that too right?. So why is it that they're always in front?.

Like rainbows, speckles and the horizon, the image you see when looking at the Sun & Moon is unique to each viewer; your eye (or camera) is an integral part in the process that forms the image you see.

^^^ that hissing sound is normal, don't let the door hit your ass on the way in!

This tactic of evading the truth is normal, notbatman does it all the time. His brain works in such way that every time there is something he cannot argument against he will just ignore to keep believing in nonsense.

To be fair to our local nutjob he avoids question often but he also makes up total bullshit just as often.


Hey stupid how's your Black Arrow orders coming along LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL  Still holding on to that one eh!!!!!!  Such a loser to get scammed by such a shitty scamming outfit!!!!  No wonder he believes in the flat earth, he was stupid enough to believe in Black Arrow!!!

Wait a minute,  didn't you make an order too, or was that BFL? Hypocrit much?

^^^ The ancient Egyptians knew the Earth was flat GTFO.

Amazing. Almost all ancient civilizations did and you can't blame them. However that theory was proven wrong in 300-250BC. From that point on, more and more science people understood that the earth was round, they even calculated and measured it.

How as an individual can I know if the Earth is a sphere or a flat disc? What experiment can I do that doesn't involve trusting information from a 3rd party that would prove what the geometry really is?

https://i.imgur.com/O8IpMmi.jpg
as much as every individual in the earth knows about it, I am less likely to agree on such things if the earth is flat, for example, it is very clear that the earth is round like a ball like the one depicted with an atlas that the earth is round Grin

Okay people let's believe the earth is flat for a sec and that NASA and other agencies are faking all the photos and stuff. Now do I have to believe that people 4000 years ago had the same mentality?? The ancient Egyptians, ancient hindu's with their Vedas and stuff also wanted to fool us all .......see now how sick all this bullshit is

precisely! merriam-webster is spot on point.. I figure theres a reason its so omnipresent

in spite of the fact that ordinarily when i've experienced such inquiries they are acted like "personality body duality" type thought tests I figure outrageous selfishness may make a few people (like those that comprehend words rather than thoughts) see this as something disastrously terrible or off-base? dunno.. outrageous selfishness is precisely what inquiries of objectivity have a tendency to speak to.
