That is a blatant lie. I wasted my time doing a ridiculous experiment with magnifying glasses that supposedly showed how water droplets magnified the sun as it was setting. It proved the video you posted was a fake. You rejected that out of hand. You also rejected my first hand observations of using two different telescopes that showed the horizon obscured a bridge on the other side of a 20 mile long lake.
It proved nothing of the sort, just that your experiment was junk. Water in the atmosphere is admitted even by mainstream science to have a magnifying effect.
And you absolutely did not prove that the "horizon" was obscuring a bridge, as objects can be obscured by many things, from waves, to atmospheric conditions, to everything else. Prove that it was the "horizon" obscuring a bridge. On the contrary, it's a geometrical fact that the horizon must obscure things, and there are hundreds of pictures, including from non-FEs, that show the horizon not obscuring things that should be obscured, a world-record photograph (again not a "fake" FE photograph) of the Alps from 700 miles away when the should be hidden by 85 miles by the geometrical "horizon", and one showing a lighthouse that stands 150 feet above sea level from 230+ miles away (also not "fake" picture taken by an FE, but a professional photographer with no agenda). This you ignore and dismiss. You can try to pretend that all the hundreds of FE videos are "fake", but you're just lying ... to yourself and then to everyone else. But you can't dismiss the ones taken by independent photographers and verified (for record purposes) as legitimate photos. You'll just ignore those.
This typifies your dishonesty, as I detailed above:
Obscured Object: Proof of Globe (no other possible explanation due to atmospheric conditions)
Unobscured Object (that should be obscured): Must be due to atmospheric phenomena such as mirages and refraction
This borders on the absurd.
In point of fact, it's the opposite. Obscured objects can be explained by many reasons, atmospheric conditions, waves, the limits of your optics, etc. There are videos out there (again, from non FEs) that show a person's legs disappearing due to heat / haze / humidity as he walks down a flat road surface. On the other hand, there's only been one "explanation" thrown out there for objects that are visible when they should be obscured by the actual horizon ... refraction, a word tossed out there in desperation as a
deus ex machina to salvage the globe. In point of fact, however, several experiments have completely debunked the possibility of refraction.
