A friend of mine believes that the Earth is flat. I challenged him to prove it by walking off the edge...

He thinks his 360 degree view should be flat on the horizon on a SPHERE!!![/quote] I said the horizon would appear flat. There is a difference. [quote:Anonymous Coward 74189820:MV80MTAxMjc2Xzc0NTM3NzQ0X0QwNjQ2MDY1] I agree it would be on a plane. But this asshole thinks that our view from 2m, which can see about 4 mi of horizon, would be a level one on a land mass that falls off 8” per mile ^2[/quote] See post above. If every point on the horizon has fallen off the same amount, where are you seeing a curve left to right? [quote:Anonymous Coward 74189820:MV80MTAxMjc2Xzc0NTM3NzQ0X0QwNjQ2MDY1] What a fool. This same calculation he would use to show ships falling offf the edge and out of view Yet, 2 ships at the opposite end of this horizon are fine and can see each other because it’s a flat circle. What a fucking clown acting as an authority on this subject [/quote] And you prove only that you don't understand it. Still waiting on that computer program. [/quote] Wow, so we don’t see a left to right curve, just the one that falls off in front of us? What a special sphere and perspective you’ve created! LHP world - it may look flat but it’s really a ball and it’s spinning too, even though you can’t feel it. Just trust him! You would be able to measure earth curve on a horizon There is no denying it. No tricks, nothing. It would be self evident We don’t live on a ball. There are no straight lines on a ball. [/quote] So you can't answer the question then? If your horizon falls off at the same distance all around you then what part is lower than another to show a curve? Still waiting on that computer program. [/quote] Lol, okay straight line sphere boy. Good stuff, sock puppet [/quote] Not a sock of anyone. and you're still avoiding the question. Interesting. [/quote]
