Your misinterpreting the calculator stupid. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79281006 If you put in 15000 feet as eye height, you get a horizon of 240 kms. That means you can see the tops of mountains 15000 feet tall and 480km away. If the other mountains are 11000 feet tall and 470km away. You fail flatard. That's so cute! You can't do 'feet' and 'km' on that calculator. Try again... Jeremy. "A thin line of Mountains rises over the Horizon: The Alps, with Barre des Écrins (4.102 m) in the middle left of the image.

Flat earth is a fake conspiracy theory put out by the government to discredit real conspiracy theories in the minds of the general population. This is how it works: MAN 1: Hey did you hear that the US government was involved in the Syrian war and actually created, armed, and funded ISIS simplyto overthrow the government there? MAN 2: No, I hadn't heard that. MAN 1: Sure i have tons of documented evidence. But I'd like to talk about flat earth first.

Tallest mountain in the Alps is almost 16,000 feet Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78274336 At that distance , 48,000 feet should be obscured by curvature , according to the calculator Flat Only if you're observing from zero feet. You're not. Observer height matters. Calculate it. The picture gives all the heights. Still should be obscured by at least 1000 meters. Also... the picture looks totally flat all the way out to the mountains. 1000 meters is far less than the previously claimed 48,000 feet. Just a bit of refraction would make that possible. So you think you could see 3-4 degrees of curvature across rough terrain? Cool story bro. If you have to insist that you've won an Internet argument, you've probably lost badly. - Danth's Law |

OP is a fucking idiot. There are points in the Pyrenees that are nearly 10,000 feet in elevation. Looking at mountains that are even higher at 200 miles is nothing.

No, OP is brilliant. He is showing conclusively with modern mathematics that the Alps should not be visible from the point in the Pyrenees where the photograph was taken. And by the way, it’s 275 miles not 200... Anyway, the fact that you can see 100 miles in Nevada from a high vantage point does not change the fact that those mountains in the op shouldn’t be visible on a globe earth... |

I just posted a thread about this this morning that was deleted. I wonder why? Maybe it’s because the moderators here are helping to cover up one of the greatest deceptions in modern history: ball earth. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77922972 Anyway, the Alps are over 275 miles from the Pyrenees. Based on the curvature calculation for Earth, the Alps should be completely obscured by the curvature, yet they are visible. Here is a curvature calculator: [link to dizzib.github.io (secure)] I live in a rural part of Oregon, in the foothills of the coast range. On a clear day, from a hill behind my house, I can see Mt. Hood (11250 ft), Mt. St. Helens (8366 ft) and Ranier (14411 ft). In a straight line, Mt St Helens is about 110 miles northeast of my location, while Ranier is about 65 miles north of Mt. St. Helens. From my vantage point, Mt St Helens is significantly higher than Ranier. Why do you thing that would be? Hellenz is a sneaky mountain. I live in metro Vancouver BC and can see Mt. Baker ( around 10000 ft high) On a clear day ...it’s about 130 miles away....I shouldn’t be able to see it because of the curve....what gives? Damn good question. The Spheroids have no answer for this! Yet another proof that the earth is flat! |

The oceans don’t erode a hole in the bottom because it is so deep. The edge of earth is Antarctica...and there is no place for glaciers to fall of into since earth is enclosed with a dome... |
