Wait? Did he just move the spirit level four times? He did. He stood and moved the spirit level around him in four stages. So two times it was orientated N-S and two times E-W. At no point apparently did it occur to him that once it was oriented N-S he could peer across it to 'measure the flatness' of the Eastern horizon then walk round to the other side of the thing to 'measure the flatness' of the Western horizon without having to reset his equipment?

[@Anonymous-df8it]

Also, presumably, the way he's trying to measure the Earth's curvature is by placing the spirit level in front of the horizon and seeing if the latter (from left to right) starts under the former, then goes above it, then below it again; however, his camera is, oh, so conveniently, shaking all over the place!

I’d argue a far better experiment would be to set up the spirit level on railway tracks and stay there until the train makes him as as flat at earth. The ancient Greek mathematician Eratosthenes is credited with calculating the circumference of the Earth around 240 BCE. Eratosthenes didn’t need a spirit level or a vehicle that councils would tow from the side of the road because it looks like it’s abandoned. Having flown on passenger and general aviation planes over the last 40 plus years at altitude the curvature of the earth clear to see. Pre pandemic I flew at maximum altitude when I was on an Airbus A380 at 43,000 feet and the curve was unmistakable.

Moreover, At higher altitude you can see farer away because the atmosphere at higher altitudes has a lower density of light scattering particles. As a matter of fact, a flat earth would - for the most part - appear exactly the same to us. The effects of the Earth being a globe are subtle.

Apparently it's easier to perform shoddy experiments with poor equipment and no variable control too... The camera movement alone made that "experiment" completely void, I'd argue you could see "curve" looking at that video... But the experiment shouldn't have shown curve so it's probably more to do with the camera being twice as close to the middle as the ends... And how much he shakes it while turning. But, using flerf logic the fact the there seemed to be more horizon above the middle of the level than the ends proves curve right?

I wanted to make one thing clear, because I see this every time: You CANNOT see a curvature on a big ball from the ground (or a bit above) whatsoever! It would be different on a cylinder, which is bent in only one dimension, so you can make out the difference when you compare to the straight other dimension. The sphere of a ball is a 2-D manifold, that is equally curved in every direction. If you are located on the surface, every point of the horizon (which distance depends on your height of viewing) has the exact same angle from your plumb point to the surface and is almost exactly 90° (maybe 89,999°) - all around you! To see the curvature this angle should be way smaller than 90°, so it needs more height. (I’m no native speaker, so sorry, if my explanations aren’t very good)

[@SysterYster]

That was a great explanation. Make very much sense.

[@Caelinus]

Exactly! I think that this particular misunderstanding on the part of flerfs really demonstrates how hard it is for them to visualize objects in 3 dimensions.

Great explanation. It should also be noted that even on a cylinder at the same scale as Earth you wouldn’t be able to see curvature from the ground.

So if it isn't obvious, it seems likely that that was an attempt to say horizontally opposed, which is a description of the design of the Subaru boxer engine which has an unconventional piston layout. But of course that's not how you spell it. I'm wondering if there's something else going on and if he thinks he's making a clever pun. Yes it seems clear that he's very fond of that car and given his mentality would make sense for him to latch on to the unique engine layout, but I wonder if he thinks it's making some sort of pun because to him horizontal means flat like the Flat Earth. No it doesn't actually make sense, if he was opposed to the horizontal that would mean he was favoring the vertical or something and that just is meaningless. But I have a bad feeling he thinks it's a clever play on words.
