The sextant measures angles on a plane, the angular size of the Sun is 32 minutes and the definition of a mile is 1 minute. This is not proof that can be refuted by an inconclusive youtube video of a rusty ship wreck, it's direct measurement. If the Earth curved at a rate of 8 inches per mile squared the sextant would be rendered useless, the horizon would be 3 miles away, every navigation calculation would be in error and we're back to Gilligan's Island.  |

... Already showed you quite clear videos of ships disappearing, BOTTOM FIRST. You don't seem to have good memory. Boats disappear into the distance, the problem is, why are they clearly disappearing bottom first? Even after all the possible ''effects'' or ''illusions'' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0ObTd7DLMwYou can clearly see there is no effect in this video whatsoever It's literally a boat that has it's bottom half hidden by the curvature. Convergence, perspective and multiple atmospheric effects on a plane explain how ships disappear at the horizon; the water is flat and level. I'll give an example of perspective and that's just one of at least three possible effects that cause "disappearing, BOTTOM FIRST": ...  ... Has the man sunk into the field like your logic demands? No, it's a fucking playing field! The field is flat, the sea is flat, world is flat, we are on a plane and there are snakes on the plane! Finally I think that's a fucking shipwreck in your video, that's fucking rust all over the side and it might be scuttled in shallow water.  |

^^^ No, I'm saying it's something that will happen when the sextant, a tool used for measuring angles on a plane is used for plotting a course on a spherical surface.   |

Go to the sea and observe boats that are far away and getting closer. You will probably need binoculars. ... let us know what you came up with...
Why can some boats that are really far away be seen with binoculars but not with the naked eye? You are told that boats sailing away disappear by going up, over and behind curved water three miles away yet when binoculars are used, you can see the boat that just sailed down behind the water. Are you a gullible idiot who believes bullshit or, are you a worthless sack of crap asking misleading questions to perpetrate a lie and a conspiracy? Objects converge to a point with distance, this is the vanishing point i.e. boat gone bye-bye. The horizontal line that rises or lowers to eye level (the horizon) is an optical effect that occurs on a plane due to convergence. Perspective is the height or depth the viewer has on or below (submarine) the plane and it affects the distance to the horizon. There's atmosphere and its effects in addition to convergence and perspective, a narrow band mirage forms on top of the horizon line obscuring and mirroring objects, refraction changes the position of objects, compression squishes objects, magnification enlarges & crops objects, diffusion blurs objects. The sextant measures angles on plane using the horizon and, distances can be calculated with trigonometry; one minute of arc is one mile. This is proof there is no curve that boats sail over, if the ocean curved the sextant would be useless for navigation and, we would all be forced to watch endless re-runs of Gilligan's Island after the Skipper plots his course. Neither the horizon or the water curves, ever!  |

@Vod, how does it feel not being able to prove your claims and having to cry to authority and use intellectually dishonest argument tactics for every argument you make?
No idea. You claim things. I post what has been scientifically proven for a thousand years.  Nobody expects the inquisition, that's the beauty of it. So until you get your inquisition against thousand year old facts (  ), admit you are not smarter than everyone who walks around you.  Notaman - all you do is post comic book frames and demand everyone believe in them. All we ask is that you try simple experiments to prove what you are saying - and you can't. Giordano Bruno wasn't burnt at the steak in 1600 because he went around telling the truth, he made provably false claims that the Earth was a globe and paid the price for his role in this massive conspiracy. My proof the Earth is flat is empirical and it stands; the sextant measures angles on a plane and the Sun is 32 miles in diameter. |

^^^ This is the third time an attempt has been made to strawman my argument regarding "angular size" with distance from the viewer to the Sun. The "Angular size" of an object is measured from the horizon vanishing point and correlates with an actual physical distance.
If you're going to argue my points with by changing subjects and putting words in my mouth i.e. strawman tactics then you should kill yourself. My proof still stands.

... every educated person in the world knows a sextant cannot be used to measure distance. ... Yes, we all know a sextant measures angles. It cannot measure distance to a celestial object. I sure have to repeat facts a lot to you, don't I? Fuck you man, You're straw-manning my argument about distance by changing it from the distance the diameter of the Sun spans to the distance from the viewer to the Sun. The argument isn't about the distance to the Sun, that's calculated using trigonometry and another known distance such as that to a lighthouse. This is about the Sun's "angular size" relative to the horizon vanishing point (a visible object). It's directly measured at 32' with two readings, first you measure the angle between the bottom of the Sun and the horizon, then then the top and the difference is the angular size. One arc minute equals one nautical mile; the very definition of mile is one minute. Kill yourself for being intellectually dishonest and straw-manning my argument you sack of shit. Also, this is the second time ( "I sure have to repeat facts a lot to you, don't I?") one of you shills straw-manned my argument about "angular size" with distance to the Sun, the Jewish method of 'accuse your opponent of what you're doing while you're doing it' rings true here doesn't it? My proof the Earth is flat is empirical and it stands; the sextant measures angles on a plane and the Sun is 32 miles in diameter.
@Vod, how does it feel not being able to prove your claims and having to cry to authority and use intellectually dishonest argument tactics for every argument you make? Canada is a Christian country Vod, the Bible is the highest authority. The Queen, her crown is place upon her head by the church. She literally still has "over 9000" power level with royal declarations. Your statements that the Earth is a spinning globe in a vacuum going around a million mile wide Sun a hundred millions miles away are in direct conflict with the Bible. Your statements are treasonous and provably so with empirically measured values. Not only that the political wing of globalism is a blatantly treasonous threat to Canada's sovereignty. Canada still has the death plenty for one crime Vod, do you know what that is? Do you know who Giordano Bruno is? History tends to repeat itself Vod! |

If by "the entire planet" you mean everybody except the Jews that edit wikipedia, then okay. Observe their entry, it says the Nautical Mile is defined as one minute, a mile by very definition is a minuet of angular size.
No, I mean every educated person in the world knows a sextant cannot be used to measure distance.  |

A sextant measures angles on a plane and 1 minute = 1 mile; this can't be refuted.
The entire planet refutes it. Sextants can't be used to measure distance. ... Fact: One arcminute is equal to one nautical mile. Source:  ...

 My proof is empirical and it stands. Proof from telescope observatories is thousands of times more sensitive and accurate than sextant observations. Standard proof is empirical, and it stands. The earth is a globe, but certainly not flat. What proof? Show me an angular size measurement of the Sun made with a telescope that disproves the sextant's measured value of 32 arcminuets. I'm sick of you're bullshit you pathetic liar. My proof is empirical and it stands. bonus image:  |

A sextant measures angles on a plane and 1 minute = 1 mile; this can't be refuted.
Space is made up of an infinite number of planes, all of which are either parallel to each other, or at an infinite number and variety of angles to each other. This is precisely why a sextant is not accurate for measuring distance and sizes of very distant objects in space. Where is the distance limit on FE? Does FE go on forever in every direction? Even if there is a dome, why wold space not go on forever in every direction, right on through the water above and outside of the dome, just like FE might go on forever past the point where the dome touches down on the ice/land outside the ice limit that GE people call Antarctica? Or do you think that the flat earth is a simple plane, made up of an infinite number of points that have a length/width relationship to each other, but no height relationship to each other? You seem to be missing a lot in your primitive calculations. The Sun's diameter is 32' (arc minutes/nautical miles) and this is a direct measurement with no calculations involved. Only when the question of distance (from viewer to Sun) comes into play is trigonometry involved and, the margin of error in either case is not millions of miles for God's sake. My proof stands and can't be refuted. |

If you believe any of following then you are my enemy, fuck you! 1. If you belive we live on a globe then kill yourself. 2. If you believe in "outer space" then kill yourself. 3. If you believe planets are heavy balls in the sky then kill yourself. 4. If you believe we are in motion then kill yourself. 5. If you believe that the Sun is a "thermonuclear" bomb a million miles wide then kill yourself. 6. If you believe NASA landed men on the Moon then kill yourself. 7. If you believe that bodies of water are curved then kill yourself. 8. If you believe the horizon curves then kill yourself. 9. If you believe there are astronauts flying like birds inside a can in the sky below your feet then kill yourself. 10. If you believe the stars are Suns then kill yourself. 11. If you believe that boats sail up, over and behind a dome of water (see #7) three miles out then kill yourself. 12. If you believe the Sun (see #5) is millions of miles away then kill yourself. 13. If you believe there are multi-ton objects called satellites flying below your feet with nothing holding then "up" then kill yourself. 14. If you believe a sextant measures angles on a sphere then kill yourself. 15. If you believe that sailing or flying around the world proves we're on a globe (see #1) then kill yourself. Fifteen reasons why you need to hang by the neck until dead.  |

The power lines disappear into the distance and Vod debunks atmosphereic haze as his final proof the Earth is a spinning globe in a vacuum. Hahaha kill yourself!
Easy to debunk - your fake photo shows the power lines hovering above the curvature of the earth. It's not my final proof either. I can keep debunking your lies until one of us dies - which explains your constant demands. -- https://youtu.be/bD0WCdgl1PYIt's a screen capture from the video link you're ignoring and omitted in your response. You're making statements hoping readers won't watch the video. This is a dishonest tactic and you should feel bad kill yourself.  |

@lightlord, That PBS/Discovery documentery is a proven fraud (watch the video I linked). As for the power lines, they curve to the right a bit as they converge, combined with atmosphereic distortion and perspective the so-called Earth curvature is just not there. ( edit: they may have used a manually calibrated distortion correcting camera lens to distort the right side a bit.) You're trying to debunk my post on angular size (and defend that PBS/Discovery fraud) with a bullshit illusion that's not about angular size. Here's a video filmed on the other side of the power lines with a P900. It shows the coastline on the other side, no curve, no hump of water, nothing but perspective and convergence on a plane. ... No no no no no. Your atmospheric distortion is based on fantasy. Please link the report where we invented anti-gravity technology. The power lines disappear into the distance and Vod debunks atmosphereic haze as his final proof the Earth is a spinning globe in a vacuum. Hahaha kill yourself! |

Fraudulently performed experiments don't prove anything; they didn't level the laser. Not only that in the previous experiment they used CGI to add a helicopter and hoax enough curvature to hide it. 100% provably fraudulent documentery by PBS/Discovery. PBS Fakes Curvature Experiment -- https://youtu.be/mqoB0ucBOygKYS. |
