Instead of a 6 foot desk

2020-02-05 21:38:06 UTC  

What about 20?

2020-02-05 21:38:46 UTC  

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?

2020-02-05 21:39:01 UTC  

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

2020-02-05 21:39:10 UTC  

so whats the oint

2020-02-05 21:39:12 UTC  

point

2020-02-05 21:39:33 UTC  

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

2020-02-05 21:39:46 UTC  

sure

2020-02-05 21:39:57 UTC  

So, let's take this desk

2020-02-05 21:40:00 UTC  

And make it 10 miles.

2020-02-05 21:40:20 UTC  

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

2020-02-05 21:40:23 UTC  

At 10 miles....

2020-02-05 21:40:40 UTC  

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

2020-02-05 21:41:04 UTC  

no i wouldnt think id be able to see it.

2020-02-05 21:41:20 UTC  

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

2020-02-05 21:41:27 UTC  

The results would be conclusive.

2020-02-05 21:41:33 UTC  

The reality, is much different.

2020-02-05 21:41:57 UTC  

uhu so what wp

2020-02-05 21:42:02 UTC  

would it be

2020-02-05 21:42:15 UTC  

When you go to the beach,

2020-02-05 21:42:24 UTC  

and get FLAT AND LEVEL with the "flat water"

2020-02-05 21:42:27 UTC  

And zoom out across it

2020-02-05 21:42:36 UTC  

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

2020-02-05 21:42:42 UTC  

Allwhile being on the same water surface.

Remember, a flat desk.

2020-02-05 21:44:06 UTC  

If a desk is flat, and you are eye level with it.... the other side of the desk does not "rise up" infront of you.

2020-02-05 21:44:22 UTC  

As a globie, I don't expect you to believe me.

2020-02-05 21:44:32 UTC  

Or care, or even bother to do your own independent investigation.

2020-02-05 21:45:05 UTC  

I've heard many an undereducated flat earther scream "perspective" without having any understanding of how perspective actually works.

2020-02-05 21:45:11 UTC  

Or how light bends.

2020-02-05 21:45:33 UTC  

But then again, many of them are merely bandwagoning due to religion.

2020-02-05 21:46:54 UTC  

Most people in the FE think that the globe exists to "hide god"

2020-02-05 21:46:59 UTC  

It's a bit more complex than that.

2020-02-05 21:47:32 UTC  

brb

2020-02-05 21:48:57 UTC  

ehm

2020-02-05 21:49:15 UTC  

u think FE will actually accept what you say ?
