flat earth theory torpedo'd

https://i.redd.it/pg0sh7v7z5wy.jpg

some school in canada sent up a high altitude balloon and took pics, now flattys what motivation would a class of schoolkids have to doctor their photos? they do however admit to using a fish eye lense but to see a curve at all from the earths atmosphere you would have to be superman

 

its obvious to anyone with a calculator that unless your in the realms of 100k feet up your not ever vaguely going to see the earths curve simply as the earth is just shy of 8000 miles across the balloon never even made it to 19 miles and planes fly at a third of that.
A plane travelling at 35,000 ft, flying at perfect visibility on a sphere would only be able to see 25 miles in all directions. A plane travelling at 100,000 ft in perfect visibility on a sphere would be able to see 70 miles in all directions ergo your students camera is going to see much more of the curve than joe pilot, but still not so much considering the circumference of earth is 24,000 miles, Joe pilot sees less than a third of 1% of the curve the students camera sees 1%.

 

so take a compass, draw a circle, any circle, any diameter, divide it up into degrees, divide those degrees up into thirds, is the curve obvious? no its not!

we live on a sphere, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars have all been proven to be round with pictures that pre-date cgi, what makes you think we are any different?

 

but the slam dunk for me is, what reason at all would the elite have for hiding the shape of the earth? Motive, or lack of it confirms to me that flat earth theory is a psy op designed to fill petty minds with bullshit

Author's Notes/Comments: 

apologies for posting here, its not a poem, and since Experience Project closed i have been loking for a place to post my short pieces.

 

anyway loads of flat earth brainwashed saps about, this might help some people
