but the boats going over the curve is real

why that one thing

thats the only thing thats real out there everything else is an illusion

the cherry picked observations

they cherry picked

I mean you didn't say *everything else* is an illusion, you yourself said *lots of things* are an illusion

It's unclear whether or not boats are passing over the horizon or not.

You have two positions here:
i) Boats are in fact passing over the horizon.
ii) Boats passing over the horizon is an illusion, therefore the illusion needs an explanation, or an alternative solution.

Now, the way we test such things is by constructing both a hypothesis, and a null-hypothesis

What that basically means is that we analyze what we would *expect* to see if one of the positions were true

And the counter-position would then become the null-hypothesis

the explenation is they appear to be going over the horizon but its perspective angular resolution and refraction that appear to be making the boat look like its going over the curve

is their an experiment for why we see chicago from michigan ?

What kind of experiment would you look for?

i would also throw the inverse square law into the perspective refraction and angular resolution as to why the boats appear to be going over a curve

some sort of proof that it would be possible to see chicago from michigan from behind a curve an experiment that proved that

I..I mean. You could get a buddy who lives near the lake and tell them to take a picture at different elevations and see how much of the buildings you can and can't see

Then crunch the numbers and see if they match reality

more experiments should be done before we start assuming things

i dont think their could even be curved water int he first place

im not a flat earther but im not a globe earther either

i want some proof

@jeremy tides prove water isn't flat over large bodied

Uhm

You know water drops are curved, right..?

the ocean is curved and water drops are curved are you saying they are curved for the same reason ?

More or less, yes

Those are different causes

gravity is pulling the water to the center of earth so the water droplet is curved ?

No the drop is surface tension

or is it surface tension

yeah i know

It's falling bc of gravity

not the same thing

And tides are due to tidal gravity

i can show u a water droplet curved that isnt falling though

Cohesive and adhesive forces pulling water molecules together

Hi ive just became a flat earther

surface tension can happen in a glass of water

Yep

But tides is something else
