The sun does not set twice if you stay at one elevation. Distance is the key to why the sun disappears beyond the horizon. Planes and clouds do the same thing. We cannot see beyond the horizon line of ground or water that rises to our eye level unless it is higher and large enough to see above...

Depends on the hight of the waves which is why on very calm seas we see the whole sip before it totally disappears. It's also why there is no consistency with these kind of pics and videos. There are also break points where larger waves end and then come to shore very calm. --Dave

Waves in the distance are are seen because of perspective to be closer than they really are and the gaps between them are not visible, only the tops of the waves are visible. --Dave

The higher you go the further into the distance you can see on a plane/flat terrain or ocean. This is what is known as the horizon line that raises to your eye level. --Dave

Water always looks calm in front of larger rolling waves. Guess you never went to beach or swam in the water on the ocean. --Dave

There is no such thing as level on a globe. You said it yourself. Yet in every place water runs to level. --Dave

Where is this picture take? --Dave

Silly Dave. Never said that I tested it. I said dropping one end of a pool by a couple of inches is how you determine what would happen if the earth were curved at 8 inch per mile. Water does not curve or hump, it spreads out to be level and what we see happening if we drop one end a large...

Your argument: "Water still finds its level, but instead of the surface being flat, it's curved." Counter argument: Level means "flat or straight, without any curvature. It's a contradiction to say water in the pool is both level/flat and yet curved. --Dave

The pool is measurable and testable, adding .4 of a mile is not unimaginable in order to see that water does not curve over distance. All suspension bridge towers are build to a "true vertical" from their "foundation". It is assumed that over a curved earth the top of the tower is wider than...

150 Miles & 3 Miles Of Missing Curvature "This is a recent press release about a recent installation over water from Beirut to Cyprus. This product is a line-of-sight microwave link which is basically a straight line over water (The Mediterranean Sea) to a receiver on the other end, 150 miles...

The Largest Swimming Pool in the World Here is a pic of this pool, it's 3,324 ft in length (.6 of a mile). Is this pool curved or perfectly level / flat from end to end? If the water level was raised to the very top of the wall holding it in and one of the far ends of it was dropped one or two...

I said an 8in drop is huge for water. I'm beginning to wonder why you are miss quoting or misunderstanding my arguments. --Dave

Never said an 8 inch drop is visible from a mile. --Dave

It's clear what they say and what they imply. --Dave

Not for water. --Dave

The verses I quoted speak for themselves. --Dave

Any bowl filled with water will spill out at the slightest tilt because water levels itself at any distance at any size. An 8 inch drop for water is huge. --Dave

You can't alter the model of flat earth then dismiss distance and perspective all together and think you have proven the existence of a curved globe that no one can see to verify. As long as no one can see the curve or feel the motion of a spinning globe then we have the right and soundness of...

The scale of the globe is 8 in per mile squared. A jet can fly straight or adjust for a drop that comes quickly when you're moving at 600 mph. It only takes minutes for the earth to drop exponentially. --Dave
