Those flat-heads, I mean, flat-earthers would still scream IT'S PHOTOSHOPPED or IT'S A HOLOGRAM FROM CIA or whatever.

I like the article and all that, but I have to say it bugs me when people use the "it looks flat in my photo" argument because lenses are curved and you can make anything look straight or curved by lilting the lens up or down, so it doesn't help either side of the debate because it's invalid to begin with. The pano part is also not valid because you have flat water, yet the road the photo was taken on now looks like a V, so it's obviously perspective distortion. I'm all for the flat earth debate (it's f*****g hilarious) so long as the people's "proofs" are a bit more well thought out than using photos which, again, are invalid for both sides of the debate.

also, wouldn't the moon be either full or gone?

Okay, I believe the earth is a sphere and all, but this isn't any kind of proof of that. It simply shows that the appearance of flatness is not a significant counter-argument.

High hopes here for flat earth believers to understand this, I'd have better luck explaining this to my dog.

Genuine flat earthers do indeed exist and their "evidence" shows a lack of the most basic scientific knowledge. But it's just the tip of an even crazier iceberg. There's people who believe the moon is a hologram, that space doesn't exist and that we're encased in a glass dome, that satellites don't exist, aircraft have cloaking devices etc.

My teacher explain why earth is not flat based on boat on horizon... If you would watch it on flat watter surface, it would just got smallet, but on curved horizon, it will slowly disappear "under" water ;)

I don't know who is the bigger fool here? The person that needs proof Earth is round or the person that thinks they can fix stupid with facts!!!

Well duh!! (I hate that these moronic flatheads are even getting purchase in the world of ideas. so f*****g stupid.)

The existence of a horizon proves the earth is round. If the earth was flat the horizon would not end until the "edge of the earth."

This actually doesn`t prove that the earth is flat or round. It just proves, that this is not a prove of flat earth :D

Thrid Class way. If this guy has to find if earth is flat or round, why he used "Circumference" for calculation. He should have used his brain to prove that earth is round.

Awfull. How to live now? What's next? According to science, cats arent liquid? it ll kill us :(

Wtf? Are you telling me that there are actually people who think the earth is flat? Have they not seen the pictures of the earth from space? Whatever man, I was going to Google it and read what they have to say and then I realized I've already wasted enough of my time on it posting this comment lol. I think we need to be worried about how the hell we are going to save our planet and not the damn shape.

these sheeple, obviously the government pushed the water in the center up a bit to get IDIOTS to believe the earth was round. OpEn YoUr EyEs

Thank you, you made it so easy to understand, even for a kindergartner.

The nature of perspective means the visible horizon is far longer than 8miles

Youtuber GreaterSapiens asked flat-earthers some questions and the answers show how ignorant flat-earthers are. It's a long video, but worth watching. Caution: high chance of facepalming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HULVzdGmnDo&index=27&list=PL6NZVizM65rtkI2sKcLsxZjhstYYaeJgp

The comments are ridiculous, I'm an engineer, using CAD the earth is 25000 miles in circumstance, that means it should curve 8" per mile squared the distance, we can see too far.. Any one of you can go do this experiment for yourselves..

How can you make such a profound statement from such a small area. This is the most stupid theory I have every heard. Are we going back into the dark ages? I place my beliefs in FACTS, where are your facts? A small picture does make a believable theory. You people make me fear for the future of our planet. Go up in a plane and shoot pictures of the flat earth. Show some real facts, oops, there are none. Grow up and get a life, I am sure there are more important things you would be good at with your math skills. Conspiracy theories make me sick.

FE'rs and globalist are all doing it wrong. Standing omn a mountain taking a pic of anotyher mountain does NOT mean the earth is flat. But THIS does prove it is not. https://www.metabunk.org/attachments/lake-pontchartrain-power-lines-demonstrating-the-curvature-metabunk-jpg.27877/

I'm baffled. According to what people are saying about ships going over the horizon, they are gone about six miles at max. So, if your picture is of 8.4 miles from side to side, then you should not be able to see the other land, and from the side view, there should be a curve, right?

Try it with a real distance since that's the real point here. The argument has been made a hundred-thousand times before. Same old played-out, simpleton argument done with basic math. https://galeri.uludagsozluk.com/r/d%C3%BCnya-d%C3%BCzd%C3%BCr-diyen-adam-1329938/

good post but when i put a ruler across the page it looks flat?

Like Michael Jackson kept saying in South Park: "Ignorant... you're being ignorant!"

You took a picture of the horizon, assumed the earth is round by stating its circumference before proving that its round, and then used that to explain the flat appearance of the horizon is directly related to the earth being really large. Flat-earth believers aren't going to buy it anyway, and the post is pretty long to just prove what you have proved. What is the real intention behind it though?

1998: I guess internet & universal knowledge will make a huge improvement on humanity, probably in 20 years we will be discussing on issues humanity had never thought... 2018: Earth is not flat, here, I explain it in this post with the picture I took...
