Observing other aircraft at high altitude also confirms the Horizon drop. - Videos

Flat Earthers who believe the Horizon rises to Eye Level would not last sixty seconds in a high altitude dog fight.

  2. Walter's simulator is wrong. On a flat plane, the horizon will appear to rise to eye level but will never quite get there depending on observer height. Place 2 cans of coke on your flat table. Does the far can of coke line up with the end of the table. Of course not. The end of the table represents the limit of how far we can see. If you could see 500 miles away and not 235 miles away from 37,000 feet then the horizon would get much closer to eye level. Reality is not an infinite plane like on Walter's Curvature App. Walter knows this. I have asked him to change it numerous times but because flat-earthers are still saying the horizon always rises to eye level, which is technically incorrect, Walter chooses to not change it. The horizon on a flat plane will rise to eye level only when the observer is at zero elevation. If the observer is at 37,000 feet and there is a visual limit to how far we can see, then horizon will appear to rise to eye level but will fall short by the perspective equivalent of 37,000 feet 235 miles away. Just like the second can of coke.

    Here is a diagram showing that Walters App is wrong and hopefully one day he will fix it.

  5. i still don't understand why so many people bash flat earthers. they are the ones that actually stimulated everyone to do research. their skepticism led to this video for which i am thankful. where does childish name calling come in to play in the scientific method? i can't wait for the next logical video that shows us the altitude we start seeing the curve. i would love to see an aerial photography of buildings that are so far away from each other that we can actually see evidence of the curvature by the buildings pointing in different directions. you guys are all great at math and physics… how far away in altitude would you expect we would need to be in order to see this? i understand a limiting factor would be resolving power. what if something like the argus camera is used?

  17. Hi Wolfie.
    I keep seeing the argument that ships will reappear when you zoom in after vanishing (despite it being demonstrably false). I know you’ve made videos of ships going out of sight from the bottom up but perhaps a flat earther would then contest that if you had additional zoom capability it would reappear?
    I figured you could repeat this experiment by watching a ship vanish at say x40 optical, then immediately zoom in to p900 maximum?

    Or better still use a p1000 (when available) and watch a ship vanish at x80 zoom then immediately zoom into x125 and show that it still stays hidden behind horizon.

    It’s just another level of possible scrutiny removed.
