Id say 90% of people are dumb, Id say 90% blindly believe in Ball Earth - coincidence?

If there's a limit to how far we can see, what is it? At what distance, exactly, does the "sky plane" meet the "earth plane"?


Yeah when two planes of existence meet. your eyes will establish the horizon according to perspective. Along this parallel of intersetion of these two distint planes of existence the limit of your sight is called the vanishing point. It is why you cant see London stand on a dock in NYC - not because the earth is a sphere.

Now when you look straight up - your only seeing one plane of existence and this is why it looks flat - even though its round and you can see farther.

According to geocentricity the stars are 6000 miles away and that is exactly what we see when you use a Nikon p900 with a 2000mm lense, which is unbelievable jump in optics and never before available to you and me.

This guy has been exposing what the stars actually look like close up - we only get drawings from nasa and you'll see why.

If you need profit, you'll find your purpose in Heliocentric Pagan sun worship.

Uh huh, uh huh. That's very interesting, but in reality the perspective parallax creates a horizon zenith just past the curvature of the plane we are on, making it look like the existential plane is curving upwards. This is really just an optical illusion due to the parallelogram shape of the meridian line. If you were to extrapolate the rays of light to the focal point, you'd see that decreasing resolution is equivalent to zooming in. It's obvious, then, that the asymmetry of the flat earth and curved skydome could not create the vanishing point you speak of.

Nice oxymoron, this is a good way to keep your understanding within the confines of your confirmation bias.

Uh huh uh huh, we live on a ball and if cut off the curve and assume the horizon is the start of the curve, I can live on a ball too!

classic card, focuses in on semantics to dodge glaring issues he isn't smart enough to explain. "do your research" and "i'm not your teachers" aren't far off at this point i'd guess. then full on ad hom before abandoning this situation altogether and hiding out in the Sci Fi forum for a while. If history is any indication i suppose.

understanding and meaning is mere semantics, how insightful of you :wacko:

Why do evolution is fake threads get closed in 3-7 pages but this completely obvious troll post goes for 2 months, 43pages of spam, really?

Says someone firmly entrenched in his own confirmation bias.

Uh huh uh huh, science has been lying to you from the start, it's all a grand conspiracy herp fucking derp.

he explained how your model doesn't work given your own explanation and you focus on the part where he calls the earth curved unrelated to the critique of your model. cool. glad to hear you didn't majorly dodge a scientific/mathematical critique to focus on semantics....
