Lol I don't see how this settles anything. For centuries people successfully used sextants whether you thought it was flat or spherical. Columbus even used them when he was wrong about how big the earth is. Whether we use a Mercator projection map or a azimuthal equidistant projection, they both have lines of latitude and longitude over them that we can plot ourselves on.
Shit during world War 2 the primary map that was used by military vessels and planes was the 'ww2 air map of the world', Google it and tell me what that looks like.
correct me if i am wrong, but sextants only work because Earth is a globe.
if Earth wasn't a globe, you wouldn't need a sextant to correct for refraction etc - as the sextant does.
that video basically mocks how many hoops you have to jump through to basically flatten the globe and get a straight bering.
lol, but once you jump through all the hoops ....sextants work!
this is undeniable.
and they wouldn't work if the Earth were actually flat - because a sextant corrects for factors that a globe creates. if you correct for events that don't actually exist, the final result will be wrong.
Laugh all ya want but the fact is sextants are used by people who hold both beliefs globe and flat for hundreds of years. You were too retarded to make that simple connection.
hold both beliefs globe and flat for hundreds of years.
you can "believe" whatever you want ... :)
Just like "flat earthers" can believe whatever they want, but the internet will still works for them - even though the internet was built with "science".
Man watch some celestial navigation videos, you have it completely inverted. How do I know? Cause I've been a licensed mariner my entire adult life. When you use a sextant you view a local apparent horizon, and the zenith is straight overhead. You have to correct your observation to get a celestial horizon. This forms a 90° angle (flat earth horizon) which you use to calculate the local apparent altitude of a star.
Whether you are on a globe or a plane you would still have to make corrections to form a 90° angle with the celestial horizon and zenith. If you are on a flat earth it's because of your height of eye over the ocean and potential atmospheric distortion. If you are on a globe it's also because of earth curve. BUT EARTH CURVE IS NEVER INCLUDED IN CELESTIAL NAVIGATION CALCULATIONS. Your corrections assume a plane dipshit.
The sextant wasn't invented until like 2000 years after Aristotle. I think what you are referring to is the Eratosthenes experiment with pillars and shadows in two different cities that 'proved' a sphere. Unfortunately you can produce the same results on a plane with a local light. I can show you with two beer bottles and a light bulb, so this effect fits the flat earth model.
It was literally geometry that first clued me in to flat earth. As a Mariner I would sometimes do earth curve calculations to see when an object like a lighthouse or drilling rig should come into view. And I kept seeing them so far off, with such clarity that refraction couldn't explain it. It was as if there was no curve that you would expect on a planet of 24,901 miles in circumference. Then finding out nasa fakes everything finally got me to investigate flat earth.
This is a common misconception. The sextant does not rely on the shape of the world.
(Most) Any person, regardless of what shape they believe the world is, can learn to use a sextant. This whole thing is stupid, and nonsensical. It’s just intended to be condescending/diminutive - but it isn’t cogent enough to make sense or withstand the smallest amount of scrutiny.

Sextants make more sense on flat earth: https://www.bitchute.com/video/x3qknB0XWOnA/
Hahaha lmao. Hey which break room at the pentagon you want to have lunch at tomorrow?

right? :)
#greatminds
where does a sextant correct for the globe
you're confirmed just a retard shill
fuck off
let me restate:
the sextant uses geometry -- which Aristotle used to further his globe theory.
i thought flat earthers didn't believe in geometry.
am i wrong about that ? you don't believe in all the geometry brainwashing, do you ??
tell me you don't know how a sextant works... w/o telling me you know know how a sextant works :)

Here you go, retard
let me restate:
the sextant uses geometry (which Aristotle used to "prove" a globe, but whatever)
i thought flat earthers didn't believe in geometry.
am i wrong about that ?
"flat earthers don't believe in geometry"
crepuscular rays
seeing things across a span of water that should long ago have been fully obscured from view due to earths curvature
we use geometry to disprove the spinning globe
we use geometry among other things to come to the conclusion that our surface is planar
you aren't serious
you're just a clown

If the flat earther can successfully use a sextant, then we'll talk (and here's $500).
If the flat earther can is not able to use a sextant, then there is no point is any further discussion.
Seems reasonable.
You are fake and stupid.
Not even believable in the least.

Flat earth is astroturfed bullshit with a hand of useful idiots.
