Is The Earth A Flat Round Disc or Is It a Round Spherical Globe?

[MileHigh]

In a spherical earth model, tall buildings will appear to be crooked and bent towards the horizon due to the curvature of the earth.  However, this isn't the case, as we can see in this video titled, "Seeing Toronto From 30 Miles Away - The Earth is FLAT!"  Also note how the horizon is always flat with no curvature because the earth is flat as shown in the video.

But you are defeated by the comments from David Ridlin in your Toronto YouTube clip:

+GARY IS RIGHT! -   "Hence the earth's surface curves at approximately 8 inches per mile. "

You are correct!  But that has nothing to  do with bulge height, as I demonstarted to you several times now-  https://app.box.com/shared/static/ahx720tackf31cfq4fttxhn9g62po3ks.jpg   but you keep ignoring.

The irony is that there are many flat-Earthers attempting to prove flat earth by showing how distant objects are visible over many miles.  And then there are others attempting to prove flat Earth by showing how distant objects are obscured over many miles, and claim it is due to perspective.  But those are contradictory arguments.    If Toronto appears too visible over many miles, then it proves flat earth.  And if Toronto appears too obscured, that also proves flat earth, due to perspective.   Circular sliding confirmation goalposts reasoning bias.

+norskemann1 " Wouldnt the buildings "merge" with the horizon?  Maybe if he zoomed back out a little?"

No.  Changes in magnification only cause your view to appear larger or smaller.  It will not cause more distant objects to seem to slide behind closer objects.  Here are photo examples showing how increased magnification does no change apparent ship height over horizon- https://app.box.com/shared/static/okkxhn8hir9zoy93ylmbfuhl1sgadamh.jpg   Parallax occurs with a physical change in position of the observer or the objects.   For example, even slight changes in altitude of the observer changes how far you can see over the curved horizon- https://app.box.com/shared/static/h0pbihdpy7n5nuvszb9j6qiqbc2795cq.jpg  But there is no physical change in position with magnification.

If anyone insists on believing otherwise, then post your assertion in a photography forum for corroboration.

I give up.  I blame the government take over of the school system in the 1960's.  The dept. of education (what an oxymoron) needs to be eliminated in the US as we were doing much better without it.  Back in the 1950's (prior to the dept. of education) a high school grad could do math, read, write and speak excellent English and could find employment because they had marketable skills.  Now...not so much.


I am done.  You have defeated me with your ignorance of ordinary scientific principles.

Don't give up, and don't fear the truth, for fear is just the uncertainty of the truth.  It's easier to deceive the masses than to convince them they have been deceived.  Ordinary scientific principles, which are inconsistent with reality, have been designed to deceive the masses by TPTB in order to keep us enslaved and to hijack humanity and God's creation.  The archons are a virus, and they're out to destroy the Image of God (mankind) and all things organic.

David Ridlin was also kind enough to clear up the "Eight inches per mile-squared" nonsense.  Some geometry for flat Earthers.

Totally not true!  I have done this with a 400X zoom camera and, you still see the top part of the ship, or other object, as it approaches. Same with a sunrise or sunset.  Do you even try these things out for yourself or just believe them because you read it on the internet somewhere?

Aye, any sailor who's stood Bridge Lookout
Watch will vouch for that.  It is even easier
at night.  The first thing seen on distant approaching
ships on clear nights are the topmast running lights,
then as distance decreases the lower running lights
become visible.
