Out of interest, you seem to be making claims about how the atmosphere refracts light.
Do any of your “refraction experiments”, involve actually making measurements of the atmosphere, or refraction in the atmosphere?

Actually, if you paid attention to history: many people made several observations, specifically that ships move over the horizon. This observation is not consistent with a flat earth, and is consistent with the earth being a very large ball.
This was a testable theory; later confirmed by measurements of the diameter of the earth, and the suns position, measurements of the suns (and the moons) location, time zones, navigation using the stars, and literally every other measurement you can make.
It’s why these arguments seem overly dishonest.
You have Erfisflat proclaiming that water is measurably flat: no it isn’t, how can it be flat when objects can appear to be behind the water.
What you’re doing, is using a combination of rhetoric and pseudoscience to argue that your position is correct. You’re arguments both fall down onto unsupportable assumptions and assertions, which you both appear to attempting to hide behind layers and layers of irrelevant arguments.

The water does not make anything appear smaller. Distance does. The longer container means the object is farther away.
The different length containers experiment shows that if den sty remains the same light will not be bent. This means the water in the atmosphere won't bend the light down.

Are you sure of your history? Heres a quick lesson. Aristotle was indeed said to have observed varying constellations, but the eclipse was accredited elsewhere. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher, but a scientist he was not. Usually what he said became accepted fact, regardless of how true it was, often for thousands of years. He claimed that the brain was an organ of minor importance, perhaps to cool the blood. He claimed that plants were only one sex. That was written down an taught in schools until botanists stated the obvious, thousands of years later. When Democritus theorized that everything is made of small things he had dubbed atoms, Aristotle brushed him off and stated everything was instead made up of very tiny bits of the 4 elements. Aristotle set the scientific field back thousands of years.
Bill Nye is a failed and resurrected actor.
As for the Zohar, if it is a quote, I'll agree. The earth may indeed be round, like a coin, or a pizza. What knowledge do you have of "flat earth cosmology"? The flat earth cosmology I recognize perfectly explains "stars changing positions every so often", and selenelion eclipses are nonsensical on a spinning ball earth.
But what I'm looking for is scientific evidence for a spherical earth. Not just what a book or a dead guy claims. Remain in ignorance if you will.

I'm not in ignorance. The Zohar is one of the holiest books in Judaism, it states that the earth is round like a ball, that when one side faces the sun, the other faces darkness. So we know it was describing earth's orbit in space. It further mentions that people live all over this "ball," not coin. The Zohar then goes on to say that there was once a supercontinent which later split up into seven. . . sound familiar? Pangea. And there's more: The Talmud says in Berchaot that the Pleiades number in the hundreds (note that all other civilizations could only discern 7, and yet, they claimed divine knowledge). Lastly, the Talmud makes note that there are 10^18 stars in the universe, that is very close to the modern scientific estimate. R. Yitzchak of Acco said that the universe was 15 billion years old (again, science is close), R. Naham described the Big Bang in detail. . . IN DETAIL.
So ya, I'm pretty sure these "old books," all claiming divine revelation from the G-d of Israel, are true. Just keep in mind, I'm not being apologetic here, for every source I just mentioned were written thousands of years ago, when science was just a newborn.
So if this one G-d, who is the Creator of everything in our universe, says the earth is round - and even better - if modern science agrees - we're sure it's true. End of story. Have a good life and keep believing in the flat earth theory and that there is no G-d or whatever you believe.
Shalom.

Like I said, I don't know about Aristotle, but the Zohar is divine. You must at least admit that, because if you still plan on believing a flat earth, then you must refute all of my above arguments for a divine Torah. Good luck. I don't think it'll be possible, hence, this matter of a flat earth, round earth, is now closed forever.

I did answer this question.
"The water does not make anything appear smaller. Distance does. The longer container means the object is farther away."
Agreed, relevance?
"The different length containers experiment shows that if den sty remains the same light will not be bent. This means the water in the atmosphere won't bend the light down."
I should like to see the results. You'll understand that I can't just take your word.
"I am not referring to thermal inversion."

Have you performed any experiments on the atmosphere to tell whether your refraction effect occurs in the atmosphere?
Have you performed any experiments on water to recreate the exact effect you claim the atmosphere produces?
IE: have you placed a container of water on a flat surface and made an object behind the container appear to dip behind the flat surface?
If the answer to either of those is no, then I believe captain pseudoscience may need to go back to the drawin board.

We paid attention, we just realized it was horsesh!t, because we tesred it. When Aristotle first made this observation, telescopic lenses had not even been invented yet. What would he have said if he had pulled out his binoculars and had magically pulled the ship backwards over the supposed curvature into view again. This is what is happening today, in reality. So, even though videos clearly show refraction, which has been proved to cause objects to appear lower, playing a significant part in this phenomenon, and skylines have been sighted at distances that should be impossible on a sphere earth, and water has been found flat in every measurable circumstance, you're willing to ignore this evidence to support your position. Sounds very dogmatic. Tell me, at what distance does a ship start dropping over the supposed curve of the earth? Has this been tested and proved?
"This was a testable theory; later confirmed by measurements of the diameter of the earth, and the suns position,"
What does this have to do with anything., again, if I'm standing at the water's edge at a beach, at what distance should a boat's hull start to disappear?
"measurements of the suns (and the moons) location"
Irrelevant.
", time zones,"
Works on either model.
" navigation using the stars, "
Irrelevant. Flat earthers navigated with the stars too.
"and literally every other measurement you can make."
LITERALLY? I can think of about a billion measurements I can make that have nothing to do with the earth. You are literally fluffing your pitiful argument.
"It’s why these arguments seem overly dishonest."
Like saying that seeing across 100km of water is because of "refraction" but a ship will go over a curve at ___ miles. Intellectually dishonest.
"You have Erfisflat proclaiming that water is measurably flat: no it isn’t, how can it be flat when objects can appear to be behind the water."
Refraction. It has been demonstrated repeatedly.
"What you’re doing, is using a combination of rhetoric and pseudoscience to argue that your position is correct. You’re arguments both fall down onto unsupportable assumptions and assertions, which you both appear to attempting to hide behind layers and layers of irrelevant arguments."
Sounds exactly like your position to me.

We can see refraction happening everywhere. From boats to the sun to the city of Chicago over lake Michigan. Are you claiming there is none?
"Have you performed any experiments on water to recreate the exact effect you claim the atmosphere produces?"
See above.
"IE: have you placed a container of water on a flat surface and made an object behind the container appear to dip behind the flat surface?"
Yes
"If the answer to either of those is no, then I believe captain pseudoscience may need to go back to the drawin board."

What you did, was post a bunch of pictures, with no context, no attempt to describe its background, and then assert that they prove your point.
You have now attempted to change the argument, and post one of those pictures, copy an arrow on to it, and then assert that because of the artifact you are pointing to, that not only is this image fake, but it lends credence to the idea that all photos are fake.
Now, we know what that photo actually is: it’s a composite photo taken from multiple satellites and stitched together. We even have a detailed explanation of how the photo was constructed by the person who constructed it.
We we know this, not because of some leaked material, but because the creators matter-of-factory explained what the photo is, what it is of, and how it was created.
There has been no misrepresentation of what the photo was of, or what it shows: everyone has been 100% clear.
What you are doing, is without any evidence of basis in fact; arguing as if this photo was purported to be something it was not (this is not true), or purported by the creator to be an unedited and unaltered image (not true either), intended to prove the earth was a sphere (also not true: as NASA, frankly, has better things to do).
Despite you repeatedly claiming you have evidence that images were faked: you have never provided any documentary or objective evidence of any dishonesty or misrepresentation; merely your own conspiracy theories and subjective opinions.
Shoot, You even undermine the whole conspiracy by repeatedly pointing out that NASA is honest and open about this picture and how it was created: IE your evidence for it being fake proves it is not.
By your own measure: this is unscientific pseudoscience, you aren’t presenting any facts, only your own opinions.

I mistakenly thought you were talking about the other image you dishonestly present as if it’s “faked”.
If you do not understand why pointing to part of an image and saying “this is fake”, without any other information, context and argument is merely unscientific assertion; you probably have bigger problems.
Im also waiting for you to say whether you have demonstrate with experiment that your refraction effect can make it appear as if the sun sets on a flat surface; and whether you have any experiments that show that this effect is present in the atmosphere.

Gotta love the haters
Scientific method: noun; a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.
The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about.

Your argument is pasting an arrow on to a picture and then posting how this proves the earth is flat with limited, if any other argument.
If your rebuttal to this pretty clear proof that you have neither evidence or an argument to show your opinions are correct is name calling an memes; you are falling well short of the standards you demand of the other people in this thread.
And again: there are reproducible experiments that show water is no flat, and the earth is a sphere: observations of boats and sunsets: if boats or pylons fall behind a body water: that body of water cannot Ben flat. If the sun sets at every location on earth, and rises at other locations at the same time, the earth cannot be flat.
You only rebuttal to this: are assertions that refraction can cause this.
Can you prove that refraction can make the sun appear to rise? Have you experimentally recreated the effect with water?
Can you prove that the atmosphere bends light in the way you claim it does? Have you any experimental validation that the atmosphere does indeed behave in the way you claim?
I am fairly certain that the answer to both of those are “no”. Which means despite your continual profession to follow the scientific method, you are discounting repeatable measurements and verifiable evidence with asserted conjecture you have no ability to prove: which is basically the definition of a pseudoscientist
