So objects being unseeable from the deck but seeable from crows nest proves the earth does NOT have a curve?? That's like saying that looking at a fruit bat debunks the existence of fruit bats.
Not exactly. The experiment is fine, you are just observating laws of optical perspective. The higher elevation increase range of sight. Because distant objects collapse it your horizon.
To understand, the person on deck can use binoculars to see the same thing the guy in the crow's nest can see. So not behind curve. Stupidly easy to grasp but you won't try
So you think it is stupid to believe that crows nests work and trying to stare from the deck doesnt work?
No, just that's a stupid experiment that proves the earth doesn't have curve, not that it does. I don't think you ever thought about it
