This man himself must know he's lying and full of it.
Or he's just a moron. But it has to be one of those two.

It's an objective fact that "go up higher, and see further away" works on BOTH the Globe and Flat Earth models. Except: if you see TOO far, it can be problematic for the Globe given the 8 inches per mile squared formula.*

Does this "scientist" REALLY not understand BASIC PERSPECTIVE? Seriously!?

* Here is what I'm referring to:

Quote

The formula for the Earth's curvature is derived from basic geometry, and the commonly accepted approximation is 8 inches per mile squared. This means that for every mile you move away from an observation point, the Earth drops approximately 8 inches due to its curvature. The formula can be approximated as:
drop (inches) = 0.5 * (distance in miles)² * (12 inches/foot) * (5280 feet/mile) / (Earth’s radius in miles).
Using the Earth’s average radius of 3,959 miles, this simplifies to approximately 8 inches per mile squared.

Who knows. Either way he's not trustworthy.

But coming up with excuses like clouds isn't a good method either. That's why observations must be made with an artificial horizon tool to compare the local horizon at high altitude to the distant one. A globe horizon should appear to drop much more than an FE horizon, and the sun should be able to be observed below the local horizon on a globe.
