1- You can see the curve from an airplane. 2- If it was flat you could see Everest from anywhere with a good enough telescope. I'll take my payment in USD.
LOL, hilarious. You get an F for effort!
The plane windows are curved. Hard to believe it's this easy to fool people. Go check out the globe king Neil The-Grass-Fed-Bison talk about Felix Baumgartner's famous Red Bull jump from like 128,000 feet (24 miles) which is basically 4x higher than commercial planes ever fly. Mr Bison had to do damage control on this one and let everyone know that everyting looks 100% FLAT even from that height, despite Baumgartner's fish-eye lens GoPro camera which made everything look curved, just like your airplane window. Turns out the balloon had a camera mounted to it as well that wasn't a GoPro fish-eye lens that captured all the action with a nice FLAT & LEVEL horizon with zero curvature to be found.
There's way too much distortion in the atmosphere for that. It's like looking through 1000 windows. You can see through 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13. 14.15.16.17 stacked windows but things get hazier and hazier the more you add. There are scratches, imperfections, clouding, etc. in the glass as well. Just like the atmosphere is full of gases, moisture, humidity, smoke, fog, rain, snow, etc. This is why you can't "see forever" and never will be able to no matter the technology.
1- Funny how you can see it from a Cessna with the doors taken off then. You know, as in, no windows. That's a bullshit excuse anyways because it would distort at all times and look like playing a video game at 120FOV even on the ground.
2- No, the reason you can't see forever is because the Earth is curved.
That guy is an idiot. Why isn’t the horizon curved when you are on the ground, why is it magically only refracting in the air? Morons
You should let Neil DeGrass Tyson he's wrong then...
You would think a guy like that could afford a singular skydive if he really cared about the truth, and actually thinks airplane windows only distort your vision at altitude... It's almost like they don't care about the truth and just want to create a conspiracy theory so nutty that it makes anyone who believes any conspiracy theory look bad...
