Just seriously, I feel a little more stupid for watching this, the ISS doesn't exist either, it's just a film set
With regards to things moving across the horizon, the gravity of the earth, I believe, is sufficient to "bend" light around it. Therefore it may well look like a flat horizon with a powerful pair of binoculars, but that's because the light that's reaching your eyes is bending around the earth with curvature.
nah, not even close - its refraction and well documented.
I stand corrected! What kind of gravity would you need to bend the light?
Not earth size, but galaxy size gravational lensing, yes.^ doesn't that make a great telescope in space?

Earth does bend light. The deflection is tiny though however still detectable!
The effect is called gravitational lensing.
millions if not billions of times more massive - in fact if you want to bend light over such a short distance its going to be an insane number far higher.
A black hole is the most obvious one, but even planets (well solar systems really or galaxy clusters and stars bend light. This is called gravitational lensing, which astronomers use to photograph distant objects in the galaxy.millions if not billions of times more massive - in fact if you want to bend light over such a short distance its going to be an insane number far higher.
Perhaps radar would do the trick, but the effect of Dark Energy on the electromagnetic radiation would need to be taken into account.
So does anybody know why flat-earthers think there is a global (hehe) conspiracy to hide that the Earth is flat?
How about this, if you pause it on one of the frames at 3:40, it shows the earth is flat, pause at another frame in 3:40 and it curves upwards, pause it on another at 3:40 and it shows us it's round as we believe, which really shows us the earth is actually flat and that the fisheye lens they used distorts the earth to be round when it's at the right angle.Pffft. There are numerous videos of hobbyists launching phones / drones / other recording devices into the Earth's atmosphere and the footage picks up the planet's curvature. Hell, even onboard a ferry, you can see a slight curvature. Those with such beliefs and other extreme beliefs should read the "How To Life" manual. How they're intelligent enough to apply for a job and get given a job offer begs the question.
