... FE perspective, which essentially suggests that at distances of a few miles, light doesn't go in a straight line anymore, or that there is some other twisting of the medium through which light travels. ...
Thank you for making my Flat Earth arguments for me douchebag, of course atmospheric refraction is what you're trying to twist into looking like nonsense here. Scattering from things like dust & fog, refraction and perspective explain perfectly everything you see from ships over the horizon to the Moon and Sun.
Gotcha. I thought you might do something like this.
Sure, there are scatterings in the atmosphere. But they are all relative, and slow to appear... unlike the glass of water (or whatever it is) in your picture. In other words, whatever works to form a different perspective than is generally understood, also works to correct that perspective.
The point still is, that even if there are distortions, the ends of the earth would still be able to be seen at times. After all, we see the stars (whatever they are) thousands of miles away (miles rather than light years, if you want to believe FE). Even so, from the nearest points that we travel towards any FE distant ice ring, we would be able to observe the dome at the places it touches down, at least at some times. This info could not be hidden by any conspiracy... just as the scientific proof for the existence of God has always been with us, and millions of people understand it.
You have nailed it brother. And you dont have to believe flat earth to believe or know the God exist. Actualy its an offense to God that its a requirement to believe how they call it "a true shape of the earth". Flat earth is illogical and saying that you have to be illogical in your thought process to believe in God is at best a folly and in my opinion a psyop to ridicule a Jesus Christ.
Its abuse to call people satanists if they are believing the earth is globe. Jesus have said to not call anyone Godless. God loves everyone even the sinners and wait for them to repent. Actually I would guess that its harder to believe in God when he is somewhere in nowhere in the globe earth model so its a great achievement if someone still believes that Jesus Christ is their saviour. Not automaticly but if you follow him and his teachings how to make heavenly kingdom down here on this earth.
Yes I started to believe in God when I knew he should exist once I had dug deeper into physics (just a simple physics of puritans and the electric universe of Tesla and others) and skycentrism (mostly by a great man Mariusz Szczytyński). But ofcourse its not a requirement how you will find him.
Ten Miles High in an AIR-TIGHT BALL
"it seemed a flat disk with upturned edge"
-- Prof. Auguste Piccard
Yes. You are right here. The curvature is observable at higher altitudes. But its all illusion - you are bad "scientists" if all you want to do is prove what you believe. Ive told how to be a good scientists and try to disprove what you believe. If you cant disprove something its most likely true, ofcourse if someone else wont disprove it as well.
Perhaps the best example of flat earth proof is the Bedford Level Experiment. In short, this was an experiment preformed many times on a six-mile stretch of water that proved the surface of the water to be flat. It did not conform to the curvature of the earth that round earth proponents teach.
Yes earth appears flat. True to that. Thats a fact. But an appearance is not a proof. Actualy there is no such a thing as proof. There are evidences and undisproven facts. Facts are so that at higher alititudes the earth appears to be a ball. Its still not a proof that earth is either a ball or flat because you can disprove it by proving that you can bend light - and you clearly can. So here you go Ive proven your proof is not a proof.
No you can't see to the ends of the Earth because there's crap in the air that blocks light and enough distance and the air itself becomes opaque, first creating a red filter then darker and darker. Combine that with perspective shrinking things down to nothing and you can't see shit.
Light scatter in the atmosphere and is not blocked. So you should still be able to see things "blocked by crap" as you have said it in different harder to being "blocked by a crap" spectrums of light or other waves like radiowaves or gamma rays.
You are a bad "scientist". You want to defend something undefendable as all light being "blocked" by atmosphere. Ofcourse not all light is blocked by atmosphere even if all visible light is blocked by atmoshpere. Mostly the blue and violet light spectrum are "partialy blocked" (infact being bend) but for example something like radiowaves are just partially blocked (or more accuratly being bend) and they are so called "electromagnetic wave"(its not a wave but a rate of induction that has diaelectric, electric and magnetic properties) as well.
You like simple explanations - You say fog "block light". I say fog scatter most of the visible light thats why using nightgoogles you still see thru the fog as its harder to scatter some spectrum of light.
Btw if light is being scattered (bend) why does this process is not gradual as it should? Thats my position that light bending is gradual - makes a lot more sense. Your position is incoherent - you say that light bends only at the end of it. Thats just illogical as hell. Its like searching the end of the rainbow.
Searching for the end of the rainbow makes sense to a child..... or a retard. And thats how people view flat earthers. Not that they dont have merits to do so...
