Where Curves Rule and Minds Bend: Round Earth Theory vs the Flat Earth

We Can See Way Too Far! Where's the Curve?

Two Sketches from the 1865 book titled: Zetetic Astronomy. Earth Not a Globe! By Samuel Birley Rowbotham

Scientist will tell you that the radius of the earth is 3963 miles and its circumference is 29,401. Many will even state that the earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid; meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. Most scientists will agree that the curvature of the earth can be measure with a little assist from the Pythagorean Theorem.

The simple formula to measure the curvature of the earth states: for every mile in any direction, the earth curves 8 inches per mile, squared. Here's how that plays out:

Mile 1: 1 x 1 = 1; 1 x 8 (inches) = 8 inches of curvature

Mile 2: 2 x 2 = 4; 4 x 8 = 32 (or 2.67 feet of curvature)

Mile 3: 3 x 3 = 9; 9 x 8 = 72 (or 6 feet of curvature)

Here's the simplified math calculation for miles 1 through 5:

Mile	Curvature Drop in Feet
1	.67
2	2.67
3	6.0
4	10.67
5	16.67

Globe experts would say that a 6 foot tall person, (or a person who is 72 inches tall), can only see three miles across the horizon before the earth curves out of view. (See Mile 3 above).

Question: How is it possible to see Chicago from Michigan City, Indiana, which is 40 miles away, despite the fact that Chicago should be hidden by the earth's curvature at a height exceeding 1,066 feet?

Here's the math: (40 x 40 = 1600; 1600 x 8 = 12,800 inches (or 1,066.66 feet)

Chicago Seen from Michigan City, Indiana

There are thousands of examples like this all over the face of the earth just like these:

• You should not be able to see Chicago from Michigan City, Indian; but you can.

• You should not be able to see Santa Clemente Island from Laguna Beach; but you can.

• You should not be able to see the State of Liberty from 60 miles away; but you can.

Below is a powerful but short video illustration showcasing the lack of curvature across vast distances:

Breaking news, folks! Earth is up to some unexpected shenanigans! The numbers are throwing a wild party, totally not following the rules, and our line of sight vision is smashing all records!

The Earth is not a sphere. It's a planisphere!
