I'm an ex glober. I was like everyone else and used to regurgitate the same thing. Then someone asked me to calculate the slope of the curve. I found a lot of online tools, made my own excel with the trig formula for a sphere that's 24,900 in circumference, and the easiest approximation is 8 inches per mile^squared. So, 10 miles is 8 inches x 10^2 = 800 inches, about a 7 story building.
Don't you think, from the top of a mountain where you can see ten miles, that you would notice that much? What about 50 miles. or just 5 miles. Then look at the first few stories of buildings that should be behind the curve. It's actually pretty obvious in hundred of other ways. But everyone is just way to programmed to give it a second thought
Its 24,900 miles. Not big. The slope you would see is much steeper than you follow to believe.
I'm not a lazy fuck and actually thought about, did some math and applied common sense. Laws of optical perspective. I remember being this gullible
The earth is over 7,000 miles wide. Why are you using circumference and not diameter??
Plus you are looking from a specific point on the world. You are not trying to look to the bottom of the earth. 24K miles is the circm. of the whole earth.
Flat earth doesn't fit together, with all our observations and experiences and logistics. How do ships and planes carry their payload? If the earth was flat you'd expect radically different ways that logistics are done. And you'd expect to feel the effects of a flat earth in daily life.
How does wind and weather work if the earth were flat?? On a globe, wind can travel freely. But in a dome, it would run up against the dome! It would be trapped, there'd be barely any movement to begin with. Does the air in a jar move swiftly and speedily? No. So why should it move that fast under a big dome?
How do you explain tectonic plates and earthquakes if the world is a closed and limited environment?? Volcanoes?? How is lava made?
The reason most people believe a globe earth rather than a flat one, is similar to why most people believe in God or gods, and the belief that the physical realm is not all there is, rather than believing in athiesm.
Because God is real. The Supernatural exists. The earth is a globe.
Why would anyone expect the horizon to "curve"? The earth is big, we should not to expect to see a curve with our eyes.
So you are a Geo Centrist, not a flat earther. Yes?

The globe is big. Plus, there are those experiments with ships and the crow's nest.
You may not see a curve (?) but you can see that things will be obscured at lower heights.

So you think it is stupid to believe that crows nests work and trying to stare from the deck doesnt work?
