Okay, a couple of proofs.
<This is a cropped image of what Flat Earthers believe the planet to look like.
When you actually analyze the voyages people committed in the past, does it not create some ridiculous scenarios when thought about for two second? For example, Captain Cook. He explored much of the Southern Hemisphere. Logically speaking, if the earth was flat, as that pictures describes, then he would have had to travel an insane amount of distance, spending innumerable years of his life trying to navigate it all. However, when one actually looks at his voyages, all of them lasted for three years. For reference, Columbus' second through fourth voyages all lasted around the same amount of time.
<So you can see, Cook's voyages are in red, Columbus' are in blue
So, unless he was using a speedboat, how is it possible to travel around the edges of the Earth, in such a short amount of time?
Second, explain weather conditions. For example, why are the North and South poles the coldest places on Earth when docked at sea level, with the warmest being along the equater? Why is there less oxygen to breath the higher in altitude you go? Why is there a literal month of complete night and sunlight that Northern and Southern regions experience every summer and winter?
Third, has anyone ever anylyzed the flaws of the concept that "
I can just see it beyond the horizon when I have a strong enough camera "? If the Earth is flat according to the according to the attached picture, wouldn't that result in the viewer seeing everything farther right or left than they should be when looking along a lattitudinal direction? They cannot look at it straight on because, for example, if one were to look directly West along a latitudinal degree, everything would curve around to the right (With the reverse if you're facing East). Basically, imagine the Earth like a giant merry-go-round. The only exception to this would be if they were looking at it from a longitudinal angle, which would remain a straight line.
