Flat Earth Theory / Re: How much of the horizon can you see, left to right?

« on: June 13, 2017, 08:01:38 AM »

Just wondering why we see no curvature of the horizon from left to right?

If you are standing on a beach, with 135 degree field of vision and two miles of straight line sight, you should be able to see about 15 feet of drop on each side, right?

This would be exacerbated the higher up you went and the further you could see, because the horizon from left to right would also increase.

Why would you need to break 60,000 feet in elevation to see the horizon curve? Every point on Earth has the same curvature in a sphere, it doesn't matter what direction you look.

For example, at my elevation, I can see the mountains about 100 miles away. Which means the horizon is more than 80 miles wide.

There should be a curvature on each side of more than 1000 feet. If I turned my head left or right, this curvature should continue.

And if I looked out with the mountain at the edge of my vision, it should be pointed at an angle, not straight up.

Logic is not hard.   The horizon is the same distance in every direction.  If you look right at sea level, you are seeing to the horizon.  Same for left.     The curvature you seek is possible to see at altitudes around 50k feet that many private and charter jets fly at.  Too many people have reported this fact to ignore.  Nothing to do with curved glass and other such nonsense.

Apparently you don't know how a sphere works.

If my horizon is 100 miles away, the edges of my field of vision should curve. And if there is a curve, by adjusting your vision to place a tall object in the edge of your vision, you should see it standing at an angle outwards, not straight up. You know, since the curvature is the same at any point on a sphere.

Logic isn't hard. You should try to use some. This is simple stuff here.

Why do you post here if you don't believe it? Paid shill or have absolutely nothing better to do with your life?

Flat Earth Theory / Re: How does the sun get bigger if it's setting because of "laws of perspective"

There's a video on YouTube with a simple explanation. I wish I could find it again...

The guy draws a picture of the sun, puts the picture on a stand. He fills a glass of water and puts the glass of water in front of the stand with the picture of the sun on it. The camera is in front of the glass, watching through the water, pointed directly at the sun drawing.

He drags the stand with the picture in a straight line away from the glass.

Basically, the sun remains at a constant height and remains in line with your "eye." Because the water refracts light, and is in a curved container, as the sun travels away from you, not only does it appear as if it is setting, but it also increases in size.

In a closed dome, the water in the air would have the same effect.
