Two frames.

an easy way to see if a fisheye lens is accurate is to use a cross

2019-08-28 20:19:42 UTC  

the object/field in focus will have minimum distortion

2019-08-28 20:20:38 UTC  

Yeah, I only added a horizontal line.

2019-08-28 20:21:47 UTC  

if the horizon meets the center of the cross, it is accurate

2019-08-28 20:22:38 UTC  

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/3-2-circumcised.png like how the center line is straight while all other lines are curved around that point

2019-08-28 20:24:57 UTC  

Anyway to describe the picture I made... You will notice that the horizon changes position at different heights, and that despite going below the horizon line, it doesn't concave like you'd expect if you were on the surface.
So what's the argument for this?

2019-08-28 20:25:06 UTC  

however your gif still shows a great increase in curvature with the height

2019-08-28 20:25:37 UTC  

Yup. That was the purpose.

2019-08-28 20:25:41 UTC  

well i don't have an argument

2019-08-28 20:26:21 UTC  

That’s bc you’re both globe earthers lol

2019-08-28 20:26:26 UTC  

yes

2019-08-28 20:26:39 UTC  

I don’t think that was the target audience 😉

2019-08-28 20:26:51 UTC  

it is not

2019-08-28 20:26:54 UTC  

but still good

2019-08-28 20:28:04 UTC  

I already confronted a flat earther with it, and all I got in return was dead silence. I'm hoping someone here will actually say something.

2019-08-28 20:28:26 UTC  

this is what got me started

2019-08-28 20:28:32 UTC  

and yes it is my edit

2019-08-28 20:30:41 UTC  

Yeah, it's annoying when they do that. I was tempted to make a 3D sphere model with fisheye lens and make a gif that shows the problem with flattening the horizon that way.

2019-08-28 20:31:54 UTC  

just send all flat earthers into space so they can see that its round

2019-08-28 20:33:00 UTC  

rockets are kinda expensive

2019-08-28 20:33:46 UTC  

if you wanna prove anything, you're gonna have to go to space

2019-08-28 20:35:06 UTC  

but you don't understand

2019-08-28 20:35:09 UTC  

space doesnt exist

2019-08-28 20:35:13 UTC  

and rockets dont work

2019-08-28 23:16:38 UTC  

The flat earth society has enough money to fund a trip up high enough, they just dont want to

2019-08-28 23:25:27 UTC  

Flat earth society is controlled @the21cat

2019-08-28 23:25:51 UTC  

By who

2019-08-29 00:16:50 UTC  

So... Does anyone have a comment on the picture I posted? Need sources? Details? Anything?

2019-08-29 00:18:19 UTC  

It's a gif where I demonstrate what I'll just say is a curvature of some sort.

2019-08-29 00:18:46 UTC  

Taken from a weather balloon video on YouTube.

2019-08-29 00:19:35 UTC  

The horizon line was added in myself, and the two pictures are from the same video.

2019-08-29 00:21:55 UTC  

The image was also squished horizontally, as it removes any existing doubt a person might have if the curvature changed or not. I have the normal unsquished version too if you insist I post it.

2019-08-29 00:28:19 UTC  

are you still talking

2019-08-29 00:28:47 UTC  

Thinking about talking more. That's all.

2019-08-29 00:29:07 UTC  

I think I said everything I need to.
