Oh wow, you're right. Visiting timecube.com without an ad blocker redirects to a web page riddled with ads. You really need an ad blocker notbatman.  Roll Eyes

Guess I'll add a warnin in the original post.

Since in Australia everything is the opposite it must be a true point for the flat earth!

one simple question, if the earth would be flat,  then what is at the edge?  space?

For me it's no longer a question of "if" as I can prove the Earth is flat with a telephoto lens.

Antarctica is strictly off limits and the only current option to travel there are guided tours. If you try to go off on your own you'll be met with military force. So there really is no direct way to find out what's beyond Antarctica.

Personally I like the theory that Earth is an infinite plane dotted with many Suns that melt pools to form oceans; infinite Earths/planets.

Other theories include a disk shaped earth covered by a dome (firmament) surrounded by water where "they" tell us space/vacuum is suppose to be.

Another totally "out there" theory is "The Matrix" Earth theory with a so-called "soft barrier" beyond Antarctica.

There is two facts so far: Home is flat and not rotating.

My personal opinion about setup is a Donat type dome with a "soft" and hard edge.
Magnetic North Pol the gate to other dimensions. Geographic north pol is a distraction nothing else.

When you watch a boat floating on the ocean it disappears after a while, this is because the earth is curved. The boat goes out of sight because it goes around the curve of the earth.
The boat literally hides behind the curve of the earth.
This proves that the earth is round.

Actually it's because the boat has gone past the "vanishing point".

That is true but even if you use a binoculars (or any other magnification device) and try to spot the boat, you still won't be able to spot it, no matter how much you zoom in. This is because the boat is behind the curve of the earth.

Your brain is a vanishing point.

You can see the sun set.  The sun is much, much, much farther away than the boat.  What does it tell you when you can no longer see the boat, but you can still see the sun, which by flat earth standards would still be over a hundred times farther away?

No. Just...no.

Yeh i can see the sun set and it comes right to my feet. I guess in your fantasy she is bending around the curvature (8 inch squared for every mile) to reach the beach. LOL

Edited last post for better picture.

I have no idea what your post is suggesting.  Yes, the sun's light will still reach you directly if you if its path isn't blocked (duh).  I guess in your fantasy the distance of the vanishing point changes depending on the object.  Please respond to the actual point.

The Sun has something the boat doesn't and that's altitude. The greater the altitude the farther away from the vanishing point the object becomes and farther you can see it. For example if you're flying in a plane just before Sunset you'll still see light while the people on the ground will be in darkness.

Also, that's a great picture of the Sun setting BTW, I can see the bottom 1/4 has been cropped off though. How do you explain the reflection of the Sun on the water...

Oh and I can see somebody beat me to my point about the reflection of the Sun on the water. LOL

Ah, I see.  At this level of misunderstanding, I realize there is nothing I can possibly say that would reconcile that.  This post is so beyond absurd that it's just not worth it.

Okay, you earned one more response.

For example if you're flying in a plane just before Sunset you'll still see light while the people on the ground will be in darkness.

Altitude is relative, i.e. "How high is x compared to y?" When the sun is below the horizon, it has negative altitude relative to the 2-D plane connecting your eyes and the horizon, which is why you can't see the sun when it's below the horizon (earth is opaque).  In this case, the sun has negative altitude relative to the visual plane.  When you are up in an airplane, you see the sun while observers on the earth cannot because the 2-D plane connecting your eyes and the horizon are now at a downward angle compared to that of observers on the ground.  Because the angle of your scope now extends across a plane that is angled downward, you see the sun again; its altitude is above the visual plane.

I can't believe I'm explaining this.

Cropped off?  No...no it hasn't.

Um, you can see the sun reflect on the water when 1) any part of the sun is above the water and 2) your eyes are above the water.  You realize water reflects light, yes?
