Local Topology? Are you claiming that a flat football field actually has a 3 foot curve in it ? Wow, you are completely intellectually dishonest.

Explain how a completely flat football field can account for a 3-4 foot drop - the earth isn't really curving 3-4 feet in 100 yd, even by you silly math it only curves .44 inches.



Video evidence of him using a transit to prove the field is level?

You can do the exact same thing on any court you like, there is no curve, the earth doesn't spin, it doesn't fly through space at breakneck speeds, there is no magic force, it's just a Jedi mind trick that you think it does.

Like this ice surface that you can see the yellow line on far end boards?

the yellow line is actually the optical horizon, change the camera's perspective and you change "the horizon"

because that's how perspective on a flat plane actually works, your not viewing a "reality" you're viewing a perspective, 100%.

I'm dishonest? Are you claiming Campbells soup is made of turnips?

See, I can make up stupid statements and assign them to you as well.

Anyway, like I said, local hills will have a much greater effect than the curvature of the earth. Unless you're also going to measure the flatness of thr field it's not evidence of anything.

This is why you don't engage and just :locked:

Pseudoscience trolling. It's not worth your time.

Whoever made the video also must not realize football fields and other similar structures outside have curves put there on purpose to assist with draining. At worst they're lazy, at best theyre dishonest

Stupid statements? - like flat football fields actually have a 4 feet curve to them - stupidest thing i ve ever heard - 100%.

where's your evidence that flat football field have a 4 feet curve to them, if you dont produce it - its just more proof of your intellectual dishonesty and blatant lies.
