This approximation holds good for the distances involved, but it fails to take account of the height above the ground of the observer. A more accurate calculation shows that the portion of the boat hidden from Rowbotham’s view would be zero after a mile, 8 inches (0.2 m) after two miles, and 2 ft 8 inches (0.81 m) after three miles. Nevertheless, only the top of the mast would be visible at three miles, and long before it reached Welney Bridge the whole of the boat would have disappeared. Instead, it remained completely visible throughout its journey, which Rowbotham took as proof that the Earth is flat.

Woooooooooooooah

I want that role

we all do

oh thanks

Hey Jeremy

hi florida

see thats waht we need to do is measure the distance when the boats go out to sea

What you talking about

hi coco

i want a trusted role :((

No

why

Enough trolls have that role

u get a b oat and some of that crazy strong lightweight bouyant fishing line go to the ocean record the boat in view the whole time from coast to out at the horizon tie one end of the string to the boat have the boat go out call the guy when u lose sight of the boat come back measure how much fishing line he took out
