In a Reddit post simply captioned: ‘Checkmate flat Earth society’ user amazed_spirit shared an image of him or someone they know posing for a selfie atop Mount Everest with the – you guessed it – curved edge of the planet in the backdrop.
Everest, in case you skived every day of school, is the highest mountain above sea level, located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas on the border between China and Nepal.
Its elevation rises to 8,848 metres, or 29,029 ft.
Many Reddit users came out in support of the concrete evidence, with one saying:
Forget about dumb curvature arguments. The fact that you can only see 2.5% at a time proves it isn’t flat. If it was flat you should be able to see the whole thing from even just the top of the tallest mountain or on any commercial flat.
Though one user brought into question whether the photographer was using a fisheye lens and thus distorting the image.
There was no appearance from ardent flat-earther Connor Murphy who recently disclosed why we don’t fall off the edge of the planet.
Connor, son of famous flat-earther Dave Murphy, spoke exclusively to UNILAD about NASA, the Sun, Photoshop and pretty much everything you’ve ever wanted to ask someone who thinks the reason you see the curvature of Earth from a plane is because the windows are round.
Watch the documentary here:
Speaking about why NASA and the government would lie about space travel, he said:
There are two good reasons in my opinion. One obvious reason would be money. The money raised by NASA alone since their inception is something like fifteen trillion dollars, and with that money they’ve really shown little for their work.
A second thing is to make people feel insignificant. It makes you feel like you’re an insignificant speck of dust and therefore you’re easy to control. Basically if you can imagine the globe squashed down with Antarctica instead of being its own continent, being the perimeter around the side. So a lot of people say that’s an ice wall. It’s more like a shelf or cliff.
And as for why we don’t fall of the edge of the world, he added:
Fall off into what, do you know what I’m saying? The way we see it is it’s an enclosed system.
There’s water above, there’s the firmament – or the dome – and there’s water above it and water below it and there’s no leaving it, there’s no finding other Suns and stuff. You can’t fall off the edge, essentially.
What about the curve of the Earth you can see when you fly? Conor said:
You cannot see curvature from a plane. The reason why it may seem is because of the way planes have to be designed. Every single window on a plane has to be round and curved because the cabin itself is curved.
You can’t have straight panes or they would explode and everyone with the plane would be done. Next time you’re on a plane, look out the window and at the wing, because the wing will seem to curve as well.
Flat earth or not one picture doesnt proof anything especialy with all those picture editing programs I mean get real
You people are special. Just because you, yourself, are not able to comprehend scientific inquiry you dismiss it as a falsehood.
Actually there is nothing “scientific” about it… it’s a fisheye lens that creates the curve look. Take any photo from any height and there is no such curve. Stop the insanity of trying to prove a globe when earth is not or never has been a globe. Research flat earth. Keep away from CIA groups that give disinformation and are disingenuous, like flat earth society…
Keep the truth alive. Research and stop being so neive!
So the second reason he says, to make you feel insignificant.
Sound to me like an insecure person who must feel validated and cannot cope with the fact that we ALL are insignificant.
I’m glad to be an average Joe and nobody on a planet of what 7+ billion and counting.
lol. planes fly higher than that !!! have you seen the earth curve like that from a plane ?
do you even science ? at all ? wide-eye lenses, ie. gopro, distort the horizon.
obvious fish-eye effect. if the earth was of the configuration shown here, the mountain would be a huge percentage of the planet and the earth would have to be very small.
same effect is illustrated in the myth busters episode where they went in a U2 spy-plane. taking that imagery at face value, you would think that san diego is nearly a quarter of the planet.
take the trip yourself to the everest and see with your very eyes that earth aint flat, i mean you guys probably never got out of your fucking basement…
Globeheads morons who believe that photo shows the curvature from the top of Mount Everest need to have their head examined. That photo was obviously taken with a fisheye lenses like a GoPro camera. We don’t even see such curvature from 35,000 feet at commercial flight altitude. Hahahahahahah!
Globies use a fisheye lens to “prove” curvature, yet dogcam at over 100,000 feet actually proves a very distincr flat horizon. Nice lie, globie. No matter how hard you try to find your globe proof, in 2019 people are a lot more educated and can use zoom focus on a camera to find the truth. Something globies need to do….
