Evidence For The Flat Earth: Ships Do Not Disappear Over The Horizon

When ships "disappear" on the horizon, this does not indicate that the horizon is necessarily curved. A ship that has moved beyond view can be restored to site with nothing more than a telescope or the zoom function on a camera. The video below proves this:

The ship disappears due to the vanishing point, which is a matter of perspective. The Flat Earth wiki clearly explains this for anyone willing to listen:

"This finite distance to the vanishing point is what allows ships to shrink into horizon and disappear as their hulls intersect with the vanishing point from the bottom up. As the boat recedes into the distance its hull is gradually and perceptively appearing closer and closer to the surface of the sea. At a far off point the hull of the ship is so close to the sea's surface that it is impossible for the observer to tell ocean from hull." - http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/...ppear+to+sink+as+they+recede+past+the+horizon​

This, combined with the fact that atmosphere reduces overall visibility (thats why you cant see Mt. Everest on the Flat earth), clearly shows that Flat Earth Theory can explain natural reality better than globe models.

Well it doesn't look like that ship is 3 miles out, Which from where he is standing, is about as far as his eyesight is to the horizon.

Everyone who honestly believes in flat earth should jump out of a plane at normal skydive altitude as when you do, you can normally see 150 miles in all directions. You know what you see beyond that? The curvature of the earth.

Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told to you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
It is He who sits upon the circle of the earth,
and the inhabitants are as grasshoppers,
who stretches out the heavens as a curtain,
and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in.​

That is a pretty compelling argument. Do you have any other information to share?

As someone who works in the shipping industry and talks with the Masters of vessels that travel the world, I can confirm that they all know the Earth is flat but their companies have forced them to sign a NDA so they can't reveal it.

The conspiracy is not so grand. People simply follow their guidance equipment, and do not doubt the parameters by which they have been programmed. Parameters that "work" whether you assume the earth is round or Flat.

Weird.

I bought a really powerful telescope, and when I point it toward the horizon, I don't see Europe or China.

Wait - they've done it.

Those deceitful bastards have done it - they've rigged ALL telescopes to make you NOT see that the earth is flat!!!

Quickly, we must destroy all scientific equipment, since it has all been clearly compromised!!!

The limitations of human eyesight and perspective cause ships to "sink" hull first on the horizon. NOT the curvature of the earth. Also, I have been in a passenger jet and looked out the window. The horizon was Flat.

As I mentioned in the main body of my post, atmosphere also affects how far we can see. Sign on to the weather channel and look at the VISIBILITY report for your area. I'm guessing its less than 7,000miles (actually, it is likely less than 20mi).

Actually, the ship disappearing over the horizon is misunderstood. It was actually because the ships would reappear mast first, as if they were rising from the ocean.
