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

he was the first man to see the globe ( and not the pizza )

LOL  are you serious ?

you can see the curvature at see level , with a 0 to 180° angle  and very calm sea ...
and more you climb and more curvature you can see

You're clearly delusional!  He was not the first man to see the globe as you have falsely asserted.  What about the
documented statement from Dr. Auguste Piccard in the August issue of Popular Science in 1931 after his successful
balloon assent to approximately 10 miles above earth that "it seemed as a flat disc with up-turned edges" when asked
how the earth appeared at that altitude.

tagor, get a copy of The Kane Republican from May, 29th 1921... 'A picture of the Earth as a huge disc with an upturned
edge, shrouded in a steaming coppery mist' was 'DRAWN' today by PROFESSOR AUGUSTE PICCARD'... He drew what
he saw! He describes this than 'rather than the globe...' His OWN words.

See also: The Indiana Weekly Messenger, October 1st 1931, page 11.

Also, The Literary Digest, Volume 109 page 7. The Urbana Daily Courier, Oct 5th 1931. His family records and
PHOTOGRAPHS are kept in Minnisota.

Guess what? It's FLAT!

Seriously: Yes, "Auguste Piccard saw no globe" looking out, across, down or any other way from only 14+ miles above the surface he left from .

You wrote about him being; "the first man to see the globe" - NOT ABOUT seeing curvature.

Math does not lie and is emotion free. It shows he could not have seen "the globe" regardless of whether it exists or not.

Piccard saw what he was able to see - nothing more, nothing less, all of which came to him through the curved lenses of his own eyes.

No offense intended.
I don't believe he could have, and here is an excerpt from a scaled drawing with math/dimensions to show why he couldn't have.

Nice!

Auguste Antoine Piccard: The Man Who did NOT see the Flat Earth. (self.flatearth)

Alright this is a rebuttal to another thread made by some flattard,it's all taken from a youtube comment.
"The "flatters" are really dishonest guys, let me tell you why...
They found one article, where there's a short phrase (without any kind of explanation) that says : "It seemed a flat disk with upturned edge." http://theylie.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Ten-Miles-High-Article-about-Auguste-Piccard-jpg.jpg And they're all : "DAMN !!! THE FIRST MAN WHOSE GONE TO THE STRATOSPHERE HAVE'NT SEEN THE CURVE OF THE EARTH !!! WHAT A HARD PROOF OF A FLAT EARTH !!!"
An honest guy would say that they're not the words of Mr Piccard, but the words of the journalist. Because there's no quotes ("...") around this sentence, but in the same article, there's quotes around the words "blue air" followed by : "as Piccard reported"
But whatever, If they would have made a semblance of research about Auguste Piccard, his familly and his descendants... They should have known that never a "Piccard" would have doubted a second that the earth is round.
For example : Bertrand Piccard (grand son) "was the first to complete a non stop balloon flight around the globe." and "co-pilot on the first round-the-world solar flight." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Piccard
But, I know what a flatter would say right now : "Bertrand Piccard thinks he made a flight around the globe, but he just made a circle on the flat earth".
So, let's go back to Auguste Piccard and what he really think about the shape of the earth. And not article by someone who could write what he want; Those are the words of Auguste Piccard himself, in his first language, about the flights he made in the stratosphere :
http://www.rts.ch/archives/radio/divers/emission-sans-nom/3365397-stratosphere-vaincue.html
Auguste Piccard is Swiss, so his first language is French, but fortunately I'm French So I can translate it : At 07:28, -the interviewer ask : "at this altitude, can you see the curvature of the earth?"
-Auguste Piccard answers : "Probably, we shall see it if we look exactly with a ruler we can
certainly see that the earth is curved, but through the portholes we did not notice, it does not strike."
It seems that Auguste Piccard was pretty convinced about the curvature of the earth, and says what all the globers say about what you can see with a balloon at this altitude... So the flatters made a hard proof that they're extremely dishonest when they diverts a sentence of a journalist and use it for affirming that Auguste Piccard said that the earth is flat while it's totaly wrong."
