Conspiracy about the flat earth conspiracy - Thread bans in OP

The earth's curvature explains it. Plenty of curvature calculators online, no confusion at all.

Modern cameras have high levels of zoom, meaning it's possible to see it in action.

The video I found and posted earlier has two boats, one closer, the other further away.

If you're going to explain away the entirety of human space travel as fake/CGI (as you've done in previous posts), not sure why you are making any effort here.

Then to express all that, yet be coy about your actual beliefs and being unwilling to actually detail the conspiracy theory.

I think that shows that conspiracy theorists know full well how little there is behind their theories.

Incredible composite infrared photograph here capturing the Notre Dame de la Garde from the summit of the Canigó - total distance: 252km. Blows every curve calculator online out of the water. Maybe all the naysayers here would have time to code up a new online curve calculator that does work. Image also very clearly shows the alps in the background for good measure over a cool 400km away.

Great thing about the infrared photos is that it doesn't pick up haze or other distortions caused by the atmosphere.

if it has no edge, how come you haven't gotten lost in the never ending ocean?

jaysus no, believing in santa is flat earther level

can you share all this video evidence with us for the laugh, you can only see items out to about 5m at ground level because the earth is flat, high objects you can see much further, like the top of snowden on a very clear day

do you know how far away that is?

you can see saturn, without a zoom lense, do you know how far away that is

you can see the sun, do you know how far away that is?

you can see other stars, do you know how far away they are

A few question:

Who does the flat earth conspiracy benefit?

How does it benefit the aforementioned group?

Why don’t you disprove it be going off the edge of the earth?

Are you scared of flying?

Surely some flat earthers could cobble together a few quid and charter a flight from Auckland or Buenos Aires or somewhere and prove their theory? 5-6 hour flight and bang - you're in space!

Also, I'm curious how NASA benefits from this when they have to spend so much money creating fake space programs, bribing scientists and other space agencies AND maintain the secret navy that protects the ice wall around the perimeter of the world.

It also doesn't actually answer the question if you notice. Doesn't explain why the funders behind NASA would throw trillions away for decades (possibly centuries) just to fund NASA's CGI department.

B (and I presume you meant atmosphere is magically velcroed).

But the link you provided make no such claim at all. It's a blog about a guy who takes long distance photography, but isn't a flat earther. He doesn't find it strange that he's able to see something that you claim should be behind the curve. You are not able to explain this contradiction, so you just ignore it and continue to misrepresent the link.

The most likely explanation is that you are using the calculators incorrectly, or are pretending to to avoid the uncomfortable point you've fallen into.

As for explaining, you have abandoned several points where you were unable to explain why certain photos were showing things disappearing over the horizon.

You've also yet to actually explain your beliefs in any detail.

Again perfect demonstration of the inherent hypocrisy in conspiracy theories.

To many flat earthers, those authors are actually part of a conspiracy, as there's obviously no aliens, as there is no such thing as space.

It’s a distance of 252km, taken from up a mountain. The fact it’s so high makes the range so far.

From a higher vantage point and a higher target. You can see further. I linked to a calculator on the last page that validated the distance of a photo that 252km. It’s not even noteworthy.

IR light still refracts like visible light. But it’s not obscured by haze, that’s true. Which means if the Earth well flat, you could photograph New York from Galway harbour. Well done, you just complete disproved the flat Earth delusion.

There are a lot of variables that affect how light travels. Such as how fast it goes (it's not a constant as people often mistakenly believe). As such those calculators are simplified by making some assumptions. Luckily, the calculators list those assumptions.

This app calculates how much a distant object is obscured by the earth's curvature, and makes the following assumptions:

Both of those assumptions are incorrect. I'm pointing out the first as incorrect to highlight the simplistic nature. Only the second one is relevant here to how far we can see. Obviously everyone knows that light does not always travel in straight lines, light bends as it passes through mediums of different densities. And as all three calculators has the sae result, we know they made the same assumptions.

The calculator you posted even confirm that in coastal conditions, air patterns can cause refraction. This would mean the horizon we see is further around the curvature. Here is a calculator that considers refration;

Calculator: ( https://www.metabunk.org/curve/?d=252&h=2785&r=6371&u=m&a=n&fd=60&fp=3264 )

Geometric results (no refraction): Hidden= 317.45 meters

With the refraction approximation Refracted Hidden= 177.49 meters. And that's at a temperature of 72 degrees. Lower temperature will refract more. You'd need to know that to get accurate details, as the note below states;

Note: Not accurate for observations over water very close to the horizon (unless the temperature and vertical temperature gradient are accurate). But that's all moot, you proved your self wrong when you brought up IR photos, were are all the photos across vast oceans. Come on man, is this really the best you can do. Its not even difficult to prove this nonsense wrong. You were better off when you were misquoting Neil Degrasse Tyson. Embarrassing

More assertions that don't actually make any sense.

You claim that there's is no camera "powerful enough". This statement does not have any actual meaning. You don't define what you mean by power.

This is also a new excuse by yourself. Your fourth in your attempts to explain the flaws in your theory, completely different from your previous ones, unmentioned before. Again, it seems more like something you've made up on the fly because you're struggling and getting more desperate.

You then return to your silly notion of "rough seas" and giant invisible waves.

You don't understand the Father Ted meme at all it seems.

It's also very funny that you're accusing people of not understanding science given your previous claims about how rockets cannot work in space.
