BUT EARTH CURVE IS NEVER INCLUDED IN CELESTIAL NAVIGATION CALCULATIONS

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 ?

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.

sorry my point is that the sextant relies on geometry - which Aristotle (eventually) uses to "prove" Earth is a globe.

you don't really believe in all that geometry brainwashing do you ??

Dude I didn't give the time of day to flat earth until like 2 years ago. I didn't even make fun of it because it seemed so ridiculous it wasn't worth the effort. Even when I did start looking I thought it was just a government psy-op. Don't trust anyone, research it for yourself. But realize that if it's true, you have to suspend a lifetime of programming while you research. Think of all the schooling, movies, TV, books that program you with space and sphere earth. But is any of it actually real? If you want to give it a shot I recommend OddTV, Eric Dubay, and the Flat Earth clock app by blue water bay (it has video archives that will answer all your questions). You may have to look on platforms like bitchute due to heavy censorship. You don't have to prove flat earth, just start with seeing why the globe isn't true.

If we live on a sphere with a circumference of 24,901 miles then the geometry is inarguable and this curve should be observable on land and water over a given distance. Land is more difficult cause of varied terrain, but water does not bend around the earth. The earth is flat and water is always level.

you were correct until like 2 years ago. now you are just a dumbass - twice:

  • once for buying into the pysop

  • and again, for not admitting a slight error in judgement :)
