The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

If that were true then you would see the bottom of the clouds bend downward over the horizon. The bottoms of the clouds stay flat because they are over a flat plane.

You opinions are already well known. You see what you want to see.

Take a curved stick. Hold it so that the curve is parallel to your line of sight. The stick will LOOK straight.

If the horizon is in the middle of the picture it's at eye level and the earth is flat. If the horizon is way down below the middle of the picture the earth is a globe.

:mock: And you're the guy that claims what we all need to make logical arguments?

Guess what Dave, perspective works regardless of flat earth or globe.

As a friend of mine pointed out: If the moon landing was fake, the Russians would have let us know. very loudly.

So, no Russians ever said we never went to the moon.

Russia suggests America has NEVER landed on the moon and calls for 'an investigation into what really happened'
"A Russian official has has cast doubt on the first moon landings and demanded an investigation into what really happened after original Nasa footage of the event disappeared." --Daily Mail.com

Another note... any sufficiently LARGE ball appears flat to a TINY observer on that ball.

 

[DFT_Dave]

Just because you can't SEE the curvature doesn't mean the curvature isn't there, Dave.

Only a small group of astronauts have supposedly ever personally seen the globe.

--Dave

 

[DFT_Dave]

Put the answer in your own words, Dave. No one is going to watch any more of your videos.

They're not my videos. I will be putting it in my own words.

I see it every time that I look down.

When JudgeRightly says "your videos", you can't tell that he means the videos that you post?

Come on Dave.

Here are some dictionary definitions of "perspective":

The appearance of viewed objects with regard to their relative position, distance from the viewer, etc. (Merriam Webster)

The appearance of viewed objects with regard to their relative position, distance from the viewer, etc. (Oxford Dictionary

or maybe you meant this:
the technique or process of representing on a plane or curved surface the spatial relation of objects as they might appear to the eye; specifically : representation in a drawing or painting of parallel lines as converging in order to give the illusion of depth and distance (Merriam Webster)

These are the possible relevant ways that "perspective" is defined in dictionaries. But you seem to use it in a different way.

I made my definition clear and provided a pic to illustrate it.

The ground beneath us appears to rise up to our eye level when it actually does not. Things in the sky over us seem to go downward when they actually do not.

Do you deny this or not?

The clouds that are not directly over our head tell us they do not curve downward...

No, perspective it would not work with a curved earth.

A landscape cannot be both falling downward and away from you and at the same time appear to be rising up ahead of you.

--Dave

Another silly comment.

The clouds curve around the earth in generally the SAME curvature as the earth.

And, ONCE AGAIN, we are very small with respect to the SIZE of the earth. If you put a tiny bug on a giant ball, he might also think that the surface of the ball is flat.

Next you'll be telling us that if the earth was global, airplanes would fly off into outer space.

Yes, it can Dave. Your anti-facts are amusingly silly.

He implied that long ago on the original thread.

A globe that drops 8 inches per mile squared in all directions is not beyond our ability to see and test for.

If we don't see the curvature then we are not seeing a globe when we look down because globe means a curved earth.

Did the Russians claim that in 1969?

--Dave

What is beyond the horizon and therefore out of sight is easy to verify.

You cannot see the Rocky Mountains from a thousand miles away, even with a telescope.

Therefore, flat earth is false.

If the earth were flat, you could see the WHOLE thing from one of your high altitude balloons.

 

[JudgeRightly]

--Dave

Yes, Dave, seeing that sort of drop IS beyond our ability to see.

8 inches / 1 mile = 0.0126262626% change in elevation from starting point.
32 inches / 2 miles = 0.0252525253% change in elevation from starting point.
72 inches / 3 miles = 0.0378787879% change in elevation from starting point.

Dave, it is not humanly possible to see changes that are that small.
