I won't deny that Nasa is capable of producing some pretty fake shit, but you'd need to hide the truth from people who go outside. Every air traveler, every hobbyist astronomer, every trainee pilot, every long-exposure photographer, and everyone capable of launching a space balloon with a gopro (read: literally everyone with a stable middle-clasd job). All supposedly to turn people aetheist, something that evolution, modern science, and Internet activism have already done at .001% of the cost of hiding the world from the naked eye.
Go test the curve for yourself
Spot a distant landmark over water and then calculate how much curve there should be
No pictures needed
It’s neither a globe nor spinning
Look into it
So I can take a powerful telescope to the East coast and see Europe?
Unfortunately no, at some point you’re going to be limited by atmosphere no matter how big of an optical zoom you have
Im not sure how far that is but it’s likely in the range of a few hundred kilometres
We can use technology to see through the atmosphere with a laser or something but I don’t know really anything about that and can’t test for myself either
I've watched ships "sink" over the horizon as they travel to other continents. I've also observed the northstar not being visible while in the southern hemisphere, due to it being over the northern horizon.
Vanishing point
Perspective
These things are 101
Any FAQ flat earth video covers these obvious questions
We were miseducated.
The primary reason for both of those phenomena is not the shape of the earth, but the density gradient in our air.
I recommend watching, or better yet - doing, some demonstrations on light/lasers into density gradients to understand better the path the light takes from the distant sources (as well as why it stops reaching you, and where it goes).
Fair. I'm just pointing out how much cheaper and more practical tools can be used to achieve mass atheism. By dazzling people with wonderous discoveries, it is easy to sprinkle in lies to push agendas.
Operation avalanche, in point of fact! (Likely under the banner of mockingbird anyway, certainly to the same end)
