Any sailors here? How can a 243ft. Lighthouse be visible 44 miles away?

It doesn’t set. It just goes around the earth like on the UN’s logo. That is what the world looks like. I truck goods up to the natives in Northern Canada, you can watch the glow of the sun in the distance after it sets proceed to the north, then the east and then “rise” again.
There are lakes up to 20 miles long that I cross all the time on the ice and can easily see the far shoreline. Earth does not curve 8”/mile^2.
So if I am to believe your theory I need to reject the evidence of my own eyes? Flat Earth 1984.
Your book report not withstanding, the sun still sets and rises.
That is what you have been told and makes sense when you don't know any other possibilities
What you are seeing is the sun travel far away and disappear looking like it is going over the curve but its just travelling away until you cant see it. Like looking at train tracks and they eventually look like they come together.
That doesn't look like what I'm seeing at all. I see the sun set.
No, that's only for the heliocentric model. Funny you bring up 1984 though. When Winston is being tortured, the member of the party describes how their mathematicians can make the stars far away or very near depending on what they need at any given time. I'm on mobile atm but I'll post the passage for you.
Once you look into the history of geocentrism vs heliocentrism you realize the only "proof" heliocentrists have is NASA and "space flights", which are obviously faked.
Yes. I actually taught a class in globe earth and solar system at $100/hr (!!!) a few years ago.
But now i know.
Cool job btw. Do you deliver the herb to them too? :-))
