Anonymous Coward User ID: 45931 Canada 12/05/2018 04:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | deGrabAss says that you are WRONG! Well this flying involved seeing the ocean, which curvature you can see much easier because it's a relatively smooth surface. A ship at see knows all about curvature, it was part of the grand scheme of military tactics, the hiding your vessel's masts below the horizon, wherein you would see the mast slowly raising out of the see as the ships get closer, until they were visible fully. I don't care about your hearsay anyway heh |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 45931 Canada 12/05/2018 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It’s impossible to see any curvature from an airplane (I made thousands of flights and never could see it). People that says otherwise are just trolling or plain stupid. Quoting: OurLifeIsALie Well if you google up pictures from airplane windows, you can see it on them pictures too Plenty of google results about seeing it, from pilots to scientists and whatnot.. Here's one from some news article: "It is possible to see the effect of the curvature of the earth from sea level (ships disappearing over the horizon). To actually see the curvature directly (ie to be able to see the horizon as an arc, rather than a straight line) requires an altitude of over 50,000 feet." |

Next time you take a flight that needs to go pretty high, pay close attention to it. I mean really look! Thousands upon thousands of other folk seeing it.. you don't see it.. Where do you think the problem lies? Not with your eyes, nor theirs. It's only that you did not look |

WHY are we constantly told that commercial airline pilots, who routinely fly at only 35,000 to 40,000 feet, give or take, CAN SEE THE EARTH'S CURVATURE? Hmmm?
