The shape of Earth

[h311inac311]

People who have taken photos of city skylines across more than 60 miles of water for instance.

The fact that those photos don't show the bases of those skyscrapers is actually evidence that the surface of the Earth is curved. Indeed, that phenomenon is exactly why -- contrary to myth -- most sailors in antiquity knew the earth was not flat; when a ship passed out of their horizon, the hull disappeared first, while the masts remained visible.

Predating that, Eratosthenes's experiment with the sticks at noontime showed that at the same time, those sticks cast different angles when a few hundred miles apart. That too is evidence that the Earth has a curved surface.

You should probably read more. There's scads of information about this.

ETA: Never mind. I just realized you're a crackhead. Carry on.

Have you ever used a telescope to bring that ship back into view? Plenty of people have and they've caught it on video. Let's make one thing clear however, some of the bottom of the ship (or in this case the city) will be obscured by the waves. The more turbulent the water, the more it will obscure the bottom of any physical object that you look at. If you have a large enough pool you can observe this effect for yourself by creating your own waves and noticing how it affects your vision of the other side.

If we use Earth's curvature calculation (8in * (Number of Miles) Squared) we can see that (60^2) * 8 inches = 28,800 / 12 = 2,400 Feet. That's how much curvature is separating the observer from the city. Do you know of any buildings that are that tall? Again, just because some of your view is obscured that doesn't mean it is the amount that we would expect on a Ball roughly 24,900 miles in circumference. So please explain to me how the light is bending around the curve so as to make the Earth look flat.

Eratosthene's experiment assumes that the Sun is very far away and much larger than Earth, his observation does nothing to prove weather or not the Earth is flat or if it has curvature. If the sun were much closer to Earth (like a flashlight above a flat table with two pencils pointed straight up on it) then that localized light could be directly above a well in New York but cast a long shadow off of a building in Ohio. Again, if you understood how his observation worked you would've know that his beginning assumptions weren't being challenged or established by this often mis-understood measurment.

Eric Dubay has already done most of the ground work and so far you guys haven't been able to suprise me with anything new. Nasa uses Helium to keep those satillites up, the air surrounding your spinning globe can't velcrow a helicopter, drone, weather ballon or airplain to the outside of a spinning, orbiting, helix-spyraling Earth That's constantly moving at impossibly high speeds that you've never felt or observed before. Since when has air ever been proven to attach one object to another? 

Also, why do you guys call Earth oblate? Who put that word into your brain?

If you want more video proof why not just search for it using an un-biased source? 
I referenced YouTube earlier but now the old Flat-Earth footage (that used to be much easier to find back in the day) has now been suppressed and replaced with "Flat Earth debunking" videos.

So my advice is either try BitChute, or any other video sharing website that is less controlled than YouTube; if you really do have a scientific curiosity.

Or, you know, you could just go outside with a telescope and perhaps try to make your own observations. My favorite is zooming in on those little underwater disco-balls you guys call "stars" that hover over our heads at night. I'm sure you'll be surprised when you see one for the first time as they look nothing like their CGI counter parts.
