You can tell this is taken from quite a distance from the bridge (near end), using a zoom lens. Curvature makes the end of the bridge (far away) almost 500 m lower compared to if it were straight. It also has to be taken from a high point to be able to see the trees at the far end. It will also appear that the lake rises.
It is real easy to confirm this. Just have people on both shores. Both can shine laser light (or any light) to the opposite side but the other side will never see it.
zoom lens
Appears to be a fisheye lens to me. A zoom lens would focus on a single distant point.
Curvature makes the end of the bridge (far away) almost 500 m lower compared to if it were straight.
The math says 284 feet in 24 miles. Regardless, 284 ft or 500 meters would both put the trees out of view due to curvature of the earth. You should see water only on the horizon.
Shine a laser across
To be even remotely scientific would require starting on one side of the bridge and checking the height at which the laser is hitting as you go across until it is above where you can measure it hitting a sensor (Laser transit). You should reach this point in less than 3 miles.
- It is not taken with a fisheye lens.
- Like I said, "It also has to be taken from a high point"
- Well, a flat earth believer (victim) might then say "your laser was not level!" My experiment is simple & direct.
Any flat earther can just start experimenting away (not that it works, you'll never hear from them again.. lol)
You have failed on all points. It's failures like this that get people wondering.
