You can see the shoreline of islands that are 30 miles out to sea
I can see across a waterway that is probably 50 miles, but I am certain that I can't see the shoreline; only the tops of mountains on the other side. When looking the other way (from the other side) I can't see shit, because the land that side is only 6m above sea level. I do this experiment often because I have a house either side.
I did see someone try to show how even that should be impossible. The thing is, on face value, the trigonometry looks plausible, but it isn't. I explained what was wrong with it, but never got a response. There's closed minds on all sides of every argument let me assure you!
I'll take some time to check our your links next week (I have a full on weekend this weekend with work).
LOL. You can't be serious.
I love the engagement, but rather than me prove the earth is round, how about you share the really easy disproof and I can review that?
