22. Incorrect Flat-Earth Theory: The Horizon Is Flat Because The Earth Is Flat
Whichever way you look, the horizon of the Earth, where the land meets the sky, appears to be a straight, flat line. Even if you look out the window of an airplane, the horizon is usually pretty flat. Ergo, the entire Earth is flat. It just seems to make complete sense, even when science says and proves otherwise. Too bad there aren’t pictures taken to convince those that Earth isn’t flat. It just appears that way to the naked eye. Oh, wait.
If the Earth were round, then there would be a curvature to the horizon. The flat earthers keep forgetting just how big the world is and the size of the scale necessary to show the Earth’s curvature. To the naked eye, the Earth looks flat, not counting mountains and hills, of course. We can only see so far into the distance, and they don’t seem to consider that when trying to make their point. What would it take to make them believe that the Earth is, in fact, round?
