The sextant wasn't invented until like 2000 years after Aristotle

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 :)

Alright go back to talking about how Aristotle played with sextants 2000 years before they existed. Your origional post was an obviously stupid premise, and I know you understand that now. Just so ya know when you watch Hollywood movies about space, those are all fake too, I don't want you to get confused since you fall for Nasas tricks.

Your origional post was an obviously stupid premise,

it was ill-phrased ... just trying to understand what part is "science" you think is fake. not the geometry, part - apparently ?

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.

according to a quick google search...

Visual daytime observations show that the minimum altitude at which curvature of the horizon can be detected is at or slightly below 35,000 ft, providing that the field of view is wide (60 degrees ) and nearly cloud free.

you say "bullshit!"

you say:

should be observable on land

no , not at all. standing on a perfectly smooth ball as large as the Earth... you would see zero curvature - technically there will be a 0.12 degree arc, but you won't be able to see that with your eyes.

https://www.indy100.com/viral/flat-earth-lake-michigan-proves-curvature-8388096

and water over a given distance

no bro... standing on a huge ball as big as the earth... the arc is so small you won't see it.

you would have better luck to see the curvature of the Earth ...as it drops-out over the horizon....

/Hope that helps.
