Who made this about you? I was talking to Jason.

Also pretty sure I actually quoted him in the post.

Miss your morning workout this morning, you seem cranky?

Cranky for sure... If you were a real detective you would have asked how I know who is on the the short bus (do I ride it?) hahahaha would have been a good come back for you I'll let you get back to your video homework haha (too soon Jason?) ...well bus is here, see ya guys

This is why I got confused I think. I was the one who mentioned the usgs altitutedal measurements. Jason is posting the videos. must have thought you were addressing me still?

I think there's only one solution to this flat earth conundrum at this point.

We need to get some 10p scientists together to send a balloon + gopro into space

Just make sure it isn't a fisheye lense!

Just get in a boat and sail around Antarctica. If it's flat it's going to take a LOOOONG time.

But an easier way is just go vacation in southern Argentina in December and look at the sun.

C'mon Eddie, it's been called tenth planet for this long and STILL no aeronautics dept. for these claims. Were you even trying to prepare for their return? Face palm.

Ehh I'm not sure why I'd need to- we can be on good terms and still debate these things. You seem friendly enough.

All I ask is that people who engage me show intellectual integrity, the way I did toward Murray when he said in the concave model the sun should be a little smaller in diameter when it's further away. I agree with that, and I myself am not fully satisfied with the magnification effect of the glass sky as a total solution.

Likewise, when someone like Jason goes out of his way to quote me in the context that he is refuting me, I expect him to accept when his refutation has been refuted. As I proved with side by side images, the bottom segment of objects at a distance are clipped off, either due to curvature of light bending or a combination- but if it were flat we would be able to see to the bottom of the platform.

There are hundreds of these zoom in videos that all show the same thing: objects at a distance have their bottom segment clipped off from view. The very videos made to disprove curvature are actually disproving flatness. We have to acknowledge the truth, regardless of our egos or identification with a belief.

You still don't get it. You must not have watched the video. I'll post it below for you again. Perspective is the answer to your argument. You cannot see beyond the vanishing point at the horizon. It has nothing to do with being on a ball or plane. You would have the same experience on either.

Hey thanks for the link we missed that the first 12 times.

So if a rocket blasts off into the sky, it will eventually vanish at the horizon? (and not straight above you as I would expect)

If a rocket went straight up it would get smaller and smaller and eventually vanish. Thats how perspective works. On a giant ball or plane it would appear to 'go over the curve' of the horizon before it disappeared into the vanishing point of perspective.
