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] Okay sock. I am avoiding your straight lines on a spherical body shit for a reason. It’s trash. Sign in to your other account sock [/quote] Still not a sock. But it is sad that you feel you have to resort to the shill gambit. You can't answer it. That is why you aren't. But thanks for the humor! [/quote] If everything fell off the horizon would curve looking straight ahead. It would show the curve because the end points of the horizon line would fall farther than the center point There’s your answer sock puppet. Are you astros or snakes sock? [/quote] Still not a sock. The shill gambit only makes you look desperate. Why would the sides fall farther? That could only happen if the sides are farther away than the center. How would the horizon be farther away on the sides than the center when the distance to the horizon is based on elevation? Nope. The horizon is at the same distance all around you. All points around you fall off the same amount. [/quote]
