You’re making unsubstantiated claims. That is not proof of anything by any understanding of the word proof.
If the earth was flat the sky and sea wouldn’t magically join together at the point of the horizon. If the earth was flat I would be able to the east coast of America from the west coast of Ireland. But I can’t even see Wales from the east coast of Ireland. I can’t see Wales because Wales is beyond the horizon.
Well seasons occur, we know that. Can you explain why they occur at different times in different places using your flat earth model?
Yes, it tells me we are caught in an orbit within our solar system but also within our galaxy. The vast majority of the stars I see are also in that same galaxy. But when I go to Australia all of the stars change. That wouldn’t occur if both Ireland and Australia were just in different parts of the same flat plane.
If the earth was flat I would be able to the east coast of America from the west coast of Ireland.
No, you wouldn’t. It’s optically impossible because with the added density of the air in between those two locations it would be like trying to look through an opaque wall. Our atmosphere is basically thin water... at a great distance it obscures things from view.
Globetards actually make retarded statements like the above and then wonder why flat Earthers are a thing.
But I can see Wales from the east coast of Ireland when I’m on an aeroplane. I can’t see Wales from the east coast of Ireland when I’m on the ground. Does our “thin water” atmosphere get significantly thicker closer to ground level. And why does it only obscure my sight at points beyond the horizon yet remains so transparent as to be undetectable for all other distances?
does our atmosphere get thicker closer to ground level
Yes.
No. You are. You listed observations that do not prove your claim.
My observation.
Water is calm and level and I've never felt like I was standing on a spinning ball.
Stars in the sky have remained in the same spot my entire life.
No matter my attitude, the horizon remains at the same point.
These are just simple observations. If you're into math you can break down the curvature and realize lighthouses should not work.
I've never felt
Not an observation. How you “feel” is entirely irrelevant.
Stars in the sky have remained in the same spot my entire life.
What? Stars don’t even remain in the same spots all night, let alone a lifetime. You don’t seem very observant if you’ve managed to miss that nightly occurrence.
No matter my attitude, the horizon remains at the same point.
That’s not true. The higher your altitude the further you can see i.e. the further away the horizon moves from you.
So you’ve followed a series of unsubstantiated claims with a series of, I don’t want to call them lies as that implies intent, but things are demonstrably untrue. And a feeling. Is this honestly what you’re exposing yourself to ridicule and embarrassment with?
If I've never "felt" like I was spinning, it's because I observed it with my equilibrium.
What? Stars don’t even remain in the same spots all night, let alone a lifetime. You don’t seem very observant if you’ve managed to miss that nightly occurrence.
so now you denying consolations?
That’s not true. The higher your altitude the further you can see i.e. the further away the horizon moves from you.
No. I have eyeballs. I've been on air planes. The horizon is always at eye level.
The same constellations have been used throughout human history for navigation. The star scape is the same. It is not consonant with having a rapidly expanding universe. The relative positions of the stars has not and does not change.
It’s like everything Globetards say is a lie, but they say so many lies at the same time it just gets tiresome setting every single one of them straight all the time.
