hey ive got a question, has anyone here considered buying a weather balloon and a camera and seeing if the curvature exists for themselves?

Sounds expensive

the whole thing would take less than $1000. if ten of you got together and pitched in money, it would only cost everyone $100. heck, if you set up a gofundme and just the people on this server donated you could do it easy. so why not?

wouldnt it be worth it to prove your entire belief system correct?

A lot of people have send up balloons with cameras

cool image. what about this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv4Hwk17F8Y

So, some have curve and some have flat horizons and you assume it's the one with a wide angle lens. Brilliant.

They have a curved bias

That's one of them. And you see the problem with it the camera distorts or wobbles

@🍄The Mad Philosopher🍄 why isnt there a distortion at the beginning of the video?

@Rudi what? i dont follow

At lower altitude there is curve as well in that video

Due to the camera

i didnt notice one, can you provide a timestamp?

its hard to tell, but i'll admit when you look for it there does seem to be a slight curve. but how does that explain the much more distinct curve seen later in the video? what causes it to change?

@Nutsack jones There is distortion.

timestamp?

When the camera moves from left to right and vise versa, you can see it distort as it pans until it slows.

Not even a minute in

Try 50 seconds or so

i didnt really notice it, so its not very distinct. but how does that explain the much more distinct curve seen later such as 1:53:45 when the camera is barely moving

You're not listening. If it's curved right off the bat, it's unreliable.

Plain and simple.

how? how does the degree of the curve change? it starts of very minimal but becomes incredibly distinct as the video progresses, why does that occur

Doesn't matter. It does. So, it's unreliable.

Sorry, mate.

sorry, but you can't just explain something by saying "thats the way it is." something MUST cause the curvature to become more apparent at higher altitude, because there is a clear change in the degree of curvature. why does this happen?

and where is this curved distortion when the camera is not moving? why doesnt it appear then?

L

you point out that the distortion appears when the camera swings violently to the side, but there is still curvature when it is barely moving at 1:53:11

do flat earthers exist around the surface or no

i exist to feed garfnef

Not all lenses have the same severity of curved bias. You're just wanting it to be true, despite all of the other footage that clearly shows a flat horrizon that needed no fisheye lens camera to get a curve and then complain that it's not accepted.

i'm asking you about this specific video, can you please answer my previous questions?

I didn't say swinging (not violently, by the way, don't exaggerate, it's ugly) was the sole condition for there to be a curve.
