I have a 100% Fool Proof way to PROVE the Earth is FLAT or has Curvature... Hear this out
Here is a 100% fool proof way to prove the earth is Flat, or as some believe a globe and has curvature....

1. you will need miles of rope or string. Tie one end of the rope to a pole at the edge of the beach, put the rope 10 feet high on the pole.

2. tie the other end of the rope to a yacht about 10 feet high on the yacht.

3. let the yacht drive 30 or so miles out to sea and if the rope is STILL in the air 10 feet then there is NO CURVATURE.

However if the rope DOES touch the water at ANY point then it proves curvature.


WHY has this not been done in the past???? its SOOO simple even a moran like me could think of it.


100% IRREFUTABLE proof, and I will believe the rope does NOT TOUCH the water, meaning we live on a flat earth.

Gravity has NOTHING to do with this....
I dont think you understand... you DONT let the rope loose so it touches the water, you give more rope as the boat goes further....

so it should ONLY touch the water if there is curvature...

30 miles isn't nearly far enough to measure an arc on a 'diameter' this large you fkn dumbass.

If it's flat, do us a favor. Find the edge, jump off.

Due to the curved Earth, the rope will eventually touch.

But

Flat Earthers will say, it's touched due a wave or the moving ocean.

so your telling me that in 30 miles there isnt more than 10 feet of curvature??? Clearly you dont know maths...

The weight of so much rope would pull the boat over.

Lasers suspended from pendulums from very tall buildings would be better. On a curved Earth the pendulums would not be parallel at a distance.

lol, you can't keep a rope taut for such a long length, especially a boat on moving water. The rope will arc down from gravity or wind and touch the water, no matter how taut you try to keep it.

As one poster above said, gravity. It will be pulling the rope down. Then you'd have to fight the movement of the boat. THEN, as another person said, 30 miles is insuffiencient. Good luck finding a suitable rope that is 30 miles long that doesn't weigh tons. Lol

if the rope touches then I will CHANGE my belief back to globe earth... and when I say touches I mean there are should be long parts of the rope in the ocean....

this is the ultimate proof of curvature... no test can beat this one

Re: I have a 100% Fool Proof way to PROVE the Earth is FLAT or has Curvature... Hear this out
Hate to say it, but OP is right.

According to Round Earthers, at 30 miles there should be a "drop" of curvature of 7.98 inches per mile.

7.98 x 30 miles = 19.95 FEET.

The rope should then be submerged in the water.

If this experiment is done, I suspect the rope won't touch the water.

A better way to do this is for the rope to my 20feet high and for the boat to go out 60miles, this way there's no chance of the waves touching the rope. That means the boat should drop below the horizon by 40 feet.

Even BETTER lasers.... yes that would work also.. the only thing that might hinder this is the atmosphere deep out might be too cloudy or misty to see the laser from that far out on the other side...

Nice vid in a nice part of the state.

I was on a Mesa north of Phoenix a couple weeks ago. Around 3600 Ft in elevation, you can easily see for upwards of 100 miles. Table Mesa Rd. is 15 miles North of Phoenix, and one could easily see past Eloy, AZ.
