Explain this with your flat earth pseudo logic.

That's called perspective - the higher you go up, you can see further. Shows how stupid people are to not know this.

Nice effort at critical thought nooby. You'll probably have better luck continuing to outsource your IQ to cartoons for 12 year old though.

the site banned me for 3 months for defending myself from the onslaught of attacks from out of control helioCultists, so really it was to punish them

The Scientific Method: “The seeker after the truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them, but rather the one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration, and not to the sayings of a human being whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and deficiency. Thus the duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself an enemy of all that he reads, and, applying his mind to the core and margins of its content, attack it from every side. He should also suspect himself as he performs his critical examination of it, so that he may avoid falling into either prejudice or leniency.” –Al Hazen

I don't need to show you a 20 mile hallway. The admission that light travels in a straight line is enough to derive this principle.

Show me something 60 miles away that you can still see which you would expect not to be able to see. Really tall things like mountains and skyscrapers aren't going to cut it though, because their height is more than the drop due to the curvature of Earth.


Well if the horizon is the point where the optically raising land becomes level with the eye - because that's the physics of sight - and above that line is the lowering of the sky plane - where do you think optically we should place this view - like in your 3rd eye maybe?

Perspective is just a way of saying ‘seeing over the horizon line’ from a lower standpoint. The video proved that.

You observe things, you can’t comprehend them.

perspective is why you see the way we see, because you know how to spell a word,

doesn't mean you understand how to use it properly because you dont know what it means

It is a technique of depicting volumes and spatial relationships on a flat surface as well as the state of existing in space before the eye.

You are seeing a perspective - not a reality due to line of sight. Go outside, take a look - that's flat earth IRL optical perspective.

yes, what evidence do you have that perspective only applies to things after the horizon. Do you even know what the horizon is?
