ok cool.
(ps I see what you mean about horizon rising on a long table)

So if we take the GE diameter of 12717, thats 0.0003 of the earth's diameter

Now if we use that ratio on the 1m exercise ball thats 0.3mm or 0.01 inches. That's almost not rising or dropping the ball depending which way you look at it

back to the hot air balloon assuming GE
Now we take those eyes (~1inch in diameter) but on a ball 12 713 000 times bigger that the exercise ball

You will experience a flat view seeing more land beyond your original horizon or present horizon rising due to not going high enough

you're just speculating though.

https://eternalworldorder.files.***/2016/07/ballearthmath1.jpg?w=676[/URL] (image won't load, just click link. the stars should say w o r d p r e s s)

even at the bottom of that image with 100 x magnification u can see that if the observer just ascended a little off the surface, that his perceived "horizon" will drop down because of the very nature of a sphere surface moving down and away.
but we can't repeat this in reality with a hot air balloon because the horizon always raises up to the eye level of the observer. This is only possible on a flat plane/surface.

someone posted in my old thread, showing a software simulation using a spherical model and the simulation when calibrated with 12.7k km diameter shows the horizon dropping when ascending. (as it logically should)
Do you believe the math is wrong or are your own eyes deceiving you?

link doesn't work.


maybe take a screen grab
Will need to see what figures he used to know what figures he used to crit the maths

Kinda agree with this

I just used Bing search engine, selected images and typed "flat earth geometry" it was literally the second result to appear.

ah. this one?

yes

Nice image, I wonder what it has to do with the flat Earth theory.

Same here

Which is a calculation of the earths curvature

now if we go back to the balloon and assume 4km you have gone this high as per red cross



Like I said, not high enough
