From Washington’s Rock in New Jersey, at just a 400 foot elevation, it is possible on a clear day to see the skylines of both New York and Philadelphia in opposite directions at the same time covering a total distance of 120 miles!

If Earth were a ball 25,000 miles in circumference, both of these skylines should be hidden behind over 800 feet of Earth’s curvature.

Aren't buildings in those skylines taller than 800ft?
n/a Luckynumberslev1n 2017-01-03
You are correct. This is one of those that people just continually choose to ignore.
n/a No8145 2017-01-03
Like how you guys ignore the celestial poles, gravity, refraction, mirages, flight paths, astronomy, radio waves and photographic evidence?
n/a Luckynumberslev1n 2017-01-03
That's all nonsense.
n/a No8145 2017-01-03
What is nonsense exactly? Are you saying the celestial poles don't exist?
Of course you are, because they instantly disprove your batshit insane "theories".
n/a Luckynumberslev1n 2017-01-03
It's all quite difficult to explain
n/a No8145 2017-01-03
That's because the explanation does not make sense.
n/a Luckynumberslev1n 2017-01-03
Interesting opinion
n/a Luckynumberslev1n 2017-01-03
Gravity isn't real. Prove it. You can't.
n/a No8145 2017-01-03
Try holding a large hammer above your head and letting go. You should feel a nice dose of gravity, and it may knock some sense into you.
n/a Luckynumberslev1n 2017-01-03
Yes, if I hold a hammer above my head and let go, then the hammer will indeed hit my head. But your one-word explanation of why this happens is "gravity". You believe gravity is a thing because you've been told that you're whole life. But gravity has not been proven and it never will be.
n/a No8145 2017-01-03
Well, do you have a better alternative theory?
n/a Luckynumberslev1n 2017-01-03
Yes. Objects aren't capable of floating in mid air on their own. So unless they are acted upon by an outside force, objects will simply fall to the ground as they have no other option but to do so.
n/a No8145 2017-01-03
Without gravity, they would be perfectly capable of floating on their own.
n/a Luckynumberslev1n 2017-01-03
You're making this statement based on how you've been told gravity works. You need to pretend you never heard the word gravity in your life.
n/a No8145 2017-01-03
No, I'm not.
Explain why objects can't just float in mid air if gravity doesn't exist. Why would anyone outside force be needed to keep them in mid air if there was no other force acting on them?
n/a MoeOverload 2017-01-03
Are you actually mentally incapable? Go jump off a building and see if you fall.
n/a Snow445 2017-01-03
So perhaps some larger force? Made by very massive bodies?
n/a SlowedDownLight 2017-01-03
Gravity is pushed out by the planets that rest on the fabric of space and when the waves being pushed out reach the boundary of our star they get pulled back in so planets are being push-pulled into an orbit. The earth is not flat and gravity is not explained because it's a higher dimensional thing and if it is a flat earth then we literally are a video game of some sort.
n/a myedgyname 2017-01-03
and if it is a flat earth then we literally are a video game of some sort.
Simulation theory for the win!
n/a sliquidsnake 2017-01-03
People would be stupid to take it seriously. The "skylines" include buildings that are over 800 ft. tall. If you can see them over the horizon, that is because they are very tall. Duh.
n/a No8145 2017-01-03
Stop spamming the sub with this utter nonsense, stick to the designated children's play areas such as r/flatearth
n/a Snow445 2017-01-03
From here on out, anyone who is against the belief of the flat Earth or "globies" as they're so called, will be temporary banned for 3 days as a first offense. This is not a drill, this is a pro flat earth subreddit, we will not be mocked because simply what we believe in is not the norm. Pro flat earthers unite, this subreddit is a safe haven.
This is one of their rules...
n/a 435435435 2017-01-03
Fuck off
n/a Snow445 2017-01-03
don't get mad at me, I did'nt write it.
n/a 435435435 2017-01-03
Utter nonsense or mathematical proof?
Cognitive dissonance haha
n/a No8145 2017-01-03
I don't think you understand what most of those words mean.
Mathematical proof of what exactly? Because it's certainly not proof of a flat each.
n/a Snow445 2017-01-03
OK I live in Cleveland why is it then that when standing on a cliff face about 20 meters above the water line with a telescope on a clear day can I not see Canada? I know because I have done this. (I did not to see if the earth is flat) Edit: I have asked this question to flat earths several times And I only ever get some non sense about a giant hologram and radio waves fooling my eyes and this technology existing from like 500 B.C. or some shit. I think aliens are about to invade but not really because the purpose of this hologram is to enslave the human race. BUT NEVER ONCE A DAMN ANSWER!!
Edit2: I AM GOING TO KEEP ASKING THIS QUESTION UNTIL I GET A DAMN ANSWER AHH!!
n/a 435435435 2017-01-03
Lol
n/a Snow445 2017-01-03
See because Canada falls behind the curvature of the Earth. Because the earth is round. Not flat.
And you are just a troll and don't believe the world is flat. And even by going through your own comments. It is all on operation paperclip and how NASA is Nazi's and something about the Jews knowing the truth.
You are quite simply using buzzwords instead of making a point. Scary buzzwords like, Nazi's, Jews, LIES!!
n/a sliquidsnake 2017-01-03
I don't like your lack of having an answer.
n/a redditkeepsdeleting 2017-01-03
The problem is that you could see Canada, but your telescope isn't converting things from metric to standard.
n/a Snow445 2017-01-03
OF COURSE!! it's all so simple why did'nt I think of it!
Also that somehow is the best answer I have ever had to this question.
n/a SlowedDownLight 2017-01-03
Flat every psyops
n/a SlowedDownLight 2017-01-03
If anything the earth is a dome
n/a 5arge 2017-01-03
Stay in school.
n/a SlowedDownLight 2017-01-03
If you cant explain it to an eighth grader then it's probably bullshit. If it really makes sense then it would be obvious but that is just CIA disinformation to make people look dumb
