depends how close you are to the dime

...

6 foot desk.

You are eye level, with it's base.

With a 1 euro coin in front

and a 1 euro cent behind the 1 euro coin.

Can you, or can you not see the smaller coin behind the larger one?

oh ok then no

Well, if the earth was truly flat,

Than that observation would be factual.

If the water of earth, was truly flat,

smaller objects, would never be seen behind, or above, larger objects.

i think that kinda observation would match in all 3 models

and it does

in the one thats real too

So,

Instead of a 6 foot desk

What about 20?

Say you are flat and at eye level with the desk, but now it's 20 feet long. Can you see the small coin now? Even with the larger coin still obstructing your view?

wym yeah a smal obect will usualy be hidden behind the bigger object

so whats the oint

point

My point, is that you have to understand the observation, before you make it.

sure

So, let's take this desk

And make it 10 miles.

You couldn't see the small coin at 6 feet, nor at 20,

At 10 miles....

Do you think you could see it? (Even with the larger coin still obstructing your view?)

no i wouldnt think id be able to see it.

And if earth was "flat" like that desk in our "thought experiment"

The results would be conclusive.

The reality, is much different.

uhu so what wp

would it be

When you go to the beach,

and get FLAT AND LEVEL with the "flat water"

And zoom out across it

You can see other boats, above other boats, clearly.

Allwhile being on the same water surface.
