When we hypothesize the earth is flat, based on observations, the tests pass.

Only if you have a conflicting belief, where you hypothesize different, based on no observation, would you argue otherwise.

That is not a provable method.

The ships going over the curve is debunked in my mind

half bad

Ok, so we observe the horizon, looks flat, maybe the earth surface is a flat plane. That becomes our hypothesis. So, we have to test it. What does the flat earth predict the horizon distance to be and how it interacts with distant objects?
These are questions that we would think about in the scientific method.

And experimentation is after the hypothesis where we test it

We need to measure how far the boats are out

If ships did go over a curve, we could obviously see that curve at a higher altitude. But we don’t.

Seriously how can u get 120 k feet up and not see a curve but the boat 3 miles away at ground level is going over a curve

Right.

That is why hypothesis' are so helpful and necessary, because we could have expectations and see if what we observe matches what we expect given the hypothesis. Like the visibility of earth curve and rates of obstruction

We need to measure the boats how far are they while we can still see it

I think you’re stressing hypothesis because you have a belief that you can’t actually prove, Astral.

Even if we see it the globe model excuse is it’s a mirage like Chicago from Michigan

Astral isn’t a glober

Spare me the word play.

He defends it though sometimes

I know he isn’t.

Hypothesis' are meant to be falsifiable and testable, I can't really hide behind it

Even if we measure the boat and it’s ten or 20 miles out they will say mirage

I believe what can be observed

And verified by the populace

Globers often try to hide behind it, by spending so much time debating what hypothesis even means. It’s like if I were to ask them if they know what the shape of the earth is, they would reply with, ‘it depends what your definition of ‘is’, is.. It’s exhaustingly redundantly obfuscating.

I never see that happen myself, so idk where you chat

Hello

Hi

The same areas that produce arguments where they try to undermine observation. Because it doesn’t support them.

what do you guys think about this

How high is that balloon?

does it matter?

i can see the corners of the flat earth in that video 👀👀👀

Fisheye lenz showing curve doesn't show actual horizon, just distortion

yeah i thought you were gonna say that
