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

LHP, thinks he’s so advanced that we can’t conceptualize what he’s saying . He thinks his 360 degree view should be flat on the horizon on a SPHERE!!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74189820

I said the horizon would appear flat. There is a difference.

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
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74189820

See post above. If every point on the horizon has fallen off the same amount, where are you seeing a curve left to right?

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

And you prove only that you don't understand it.

Still waiting on that computer program.

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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74189820

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.
