I must say I watched the entire video, and he's pretty good at drawing straight lines and mountains that are grossly out of proportion (thousands of miles apart and hundreds of miles high)

The fact he's on a mountain of X height, and can see over all the other mountains, even if those mountains have a height of around X, proves the exact opposite this video intends to prove

If the earth was flat, the very first mountain would act as a wall, blocking all vision from what is on the other side, try this experiment... slam your head onto your desk and look down to the other end, and place a book on it, open the book and read some facts, end of experiment

this is exactly why you can find a billion pro flat earth youtube videos and not a single one out in the real world proving it. it looks way better on paper than it does in reality.

btw you won't get through to sultan. everything is a conspiracy..even your reply.

The mountain would only be hidden if all three points were exactly in line - but they're not, they're all in the same field of view and the same elevation- but 34 miles apart and the should be 700+ feet of declination- but they are completely have the same peak height, so try again .

you're not even close to a conspiracy - you + and people like you are just clearly blind and desperate to continue being a complete azzwipe - one day it will sink in perhaps what you are.

why don't you try to attempt to debunk the evidence - instead of your feeble attempt at an insult - Mountains are not real i guess - only a you tube myth you say - umm ok whatever you say.

one day i'll believe rand youtube videos over 18 billion dollar/year establishment designed specially for space stuff.

i'm not paranoid enough to think nasa is lying to me "just because" or created a logic that makes complete sense to me and every other scientist on the planet.

but hell...maybe you(who needed helped with a trick question because you don't understand tricks) are the one to convert me........................................

i don't go out and try to disprove fuzzy science for the same reason i don't go out and try to disprove god....can't argue faith.

So you have blind faith IN NASA cause they spent 18 billion of your tax dollars and you forgot to ask them to guarantee that they are telling you the truth, lol what a cuck.

So why wont any Astronots swear on a bible that they haven't committed treason against the people and that they actually went to the moon?

You seem so frail, its funny you need to think "I'm paranoid", you dont even know me but you try to judge me - clearly its your unhinged triggered beta-ness than needs to cling to your fake excuses, because in reality I just know its all bullshit.

What dont you tell me what neil Armstrong was talking about here?

"The Earth has a radius of approximately 3965 miles. Using the Pythagorean theorem, that calculates to an average curvature of 7.98 inches per mile or approximately 8 inches per mile."

34 miles apart


34 x 8 = 272 inches

272 inches = 6.9088 meters = 22.6667 foot

gg well played flatty, ty for games.

its 8 inch per mile squared cuckspin, obviously you're just as bad at math as you are at understanding

1 mile = 8 inches

2 miles squared = 4 x 8 inches = 32 inches

3 miles squared = 9 x 8 inch = 72 inches....

this formula has been used for hundreds of years as well.

you should probably go back to grade 3 or 4 and learn some math :rofl:

but keep claiming you know for sure we live on a ball when you dont even understand the basic math for a ball

Also, should point out - that the drop - isnt in one specific direction "like over the horizon" - its actually in all 360 degrees - so everywhere you look. Your belief that you cant see curve because it over the horizon is absolutely false - you should see it at the sides of every horizon and especially if you see many 100s of miles of horizon.

Sorry for so many pauses - but you really have to say this stuff slow - or no one will get it.
