For what it's worth, in the Llano Estacado region of the Texas Panhandle, the land is flat enough to actually see the curvature of the earth.

@@Jusdippin78 Neil Degrasse Tyson is demonstrably wrong on many thing. This is one such case. Perhaps having life experiences outside of your parents basement will prevent you from repeating some of his mistakes.

[@EShirako]

@@Jusdippin78 Well, so this is what hurt my brain for a moment to try to imagine it. He's not saying he saw the 'horizon curving', like 'looking from a beach out to the ocean horizon'. He was saying that he saw the curvature in that, while up on a mesa (which is 'up a good bit' usually but not nearly all THAT tall), he could see in the gap of an arroyo "Mountains in the farther-distant horizon" that weren't visible from his normal ground-level (or even mesa-level?) height. Basically, he stood WAY up on a short mountain, and in that specific direction, the mountains appeared to be 'below his mesa's level' because the arroyo's valley allowed him to see much further down along its length. Say his mesa was 2k feet tall. Say the arroyo was 1000 feet deep. He has an effective '3000 feet of altitude'. This let him see the horizon that he would have seen from that far end of the *arroyo*, which included seeing some of the Rockies being barely-high-enough to be visible in the distance. He was effectively looking from 3,000 feet of altitude, and 'barely seeing the mountains in the distance'...but that 'showed the horizon' too. The mountains were BARELY visible, barely peeking up in the distance...from BELOW WHERE HE WAS STANDING on a 2k altitude Mesa somewhere, and looking into the valley in the distance. The mountains aren't underground, right? So they are 'just as tall as ever', but he saw them as 'below him' when he was only a mere 2k feet up. The only way that works was to have had a line-of-sight that let him barely see them in the distance, and it happened to have that happen 'when looking out along this deep arroyo' that gave him additional 'effective altitude'. He saw the 'curvature of the earth' by LITERALLY seeing that a super-tall-thing was barely-visible in the distance, and not at all visible from ground-level where he was, which is only possible if he was seeing 'though that valley' and into the deeper distance, where the mountains were 'barely-visible from that further valley', which he was standing ABOVE. From 2k up and looking through 1k depth of valley, his horizon would have been 70-ish miles out or whatever. That additional "height plus depth" showed him what he'd have seen from a mesa 3k tall; the bare beginnings of the Rockies being visible in the distance. He was seeing 'away'-horizon, not 'across-horizon'. The curvature left-to-right is hard to measure, but ahead isn't as hard in some VERY specific circumstances. Like, with +2 and -1k foot landscapes, and an 8k-foot tall mountain being barely visible in the distance. The barely-above-the-arroyo-bottom-horizon barely could see the mountain-tops, so thus he saw the mountains as "Below him" from that point of view. It's pretty wild...but also totally makes sense if you work out the math for it. That's why it blew my mind a bit.

As a geographer, flat earth makes me cry because it would make my job so much easier. Taking something a round earth (which is not a perfect sphere but actually a oblate spheroid) and getting it to translate onto a two dimensional surface like a map is...rough. You can only realistically maintain a few of 5 properties (Area, Shape, Direction, Bearing, and Distance) truly accurately during the translation which is why different types of maps are used for different types of tasks. Ex. the Mercator projection we all know was made for navigational purposes and is not the best one to represent the globe as it maintains bearing but distorts shape/size but was chosen because its a nice rectangle and looked good on a wall.

The simplest way to debunk a flat earth enthusiast is to ask them to predict the exact time of sunrise on a specific date in the future at a particular location, down to the minute. Flat Earth nonsense can't do it. The success of any scientific theory rests not only upon its logical explanation of events and carefully measured observations but also its predictive power. We know exactly when sunrise will occur on February 17th, 2038 in downtown Philadelphia using astronomical (NOT astrological) ephemerides tables. Flat Earth completely falls flat when it tries to predict future astronomical events and it's because that model just doesn't work. But guess what? The orbital mechanics of a spherical Earth revolving around the sun CAN result in accurate predictions. The validation of the timing and path of the recent solar eclipse across the central US is obvious proof of that.

I finally tried to get him on the math that Rowbotham used to "prove" the sun was a few thousand "statue miles" (something he thought was different from standard miles) and damnit all if I wasn't drunk that night I could have put the nail in that argument. See when Rowbutt made that measurement, he never confirmed that point "D" in his calculation (the right angle of the triangle) actually had the sun at 90 degrees - something which wouldn't even be possible at the location he described - he just said it would be without sending anyone to take the measurement. And if you take his measurements and correct for where the sun would actually be at 90 degrees on that line... guess what?

The story is Tolkien’s take on the Atlantis story in many ways. Afterwards, the elves are guided along a special way to return to Valinor by ship sailing west after they have been granted permission to do so by the Valar after thousands of years of exile.

On page 58 I found this: "The Egyptians knew the true system of the universe. They were acquainted with the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, and that the earth and other planets revolve about it, in fixed orbits. They knew that the earth is of a globular shape, and revolves on its own axis, thus producing day and night. They also knew of the revolution of the moon about the earth, and that the moon shines by the reflected light of the sun. They understood the calculation of eclipses; they were aware of the obliquity of the ecliptic, and that the milky-way is a collection of stars. They also seem to have understood the power of gravitation, and that the heavenly bodies are attracted to a center." I pointed this out to the creator in the comments. His reply was that this book shows how the media lies to cover up the true nature of the earth, which, as usual, made zero sense.
