this Photograph by Mark Brett currently holds the Guinness world record for the longest line of sight photographed on Earth Mark took this from the top of picked the fine straws in the Pyrenees and this mountain here is the top of pit Gaspard which as the crow flies is 443 kilometers away in the French Alps now this particular photograph has been cited to me on numerous occasions as proof that the Earth must be flat when actually when you break it down it proves the exact opposite so let's first address why Flat Earth is say it proves the Earth is flat then why it's actually possible on a globe and then afterwards we'll cover how it actually supports the globe so pick Gaspard is 3833 meters high using flat earther's favorite equation of eight inches per mile squared should mean that the summit of the mountain is 11 848 meters below the Horizon and so completely out of sight and therefore we can't be on a globe however the eight inches per mile squared formula has a few flaws in it firstly it's only a Rough Guide of curvature using a parable of formula it's not the exact formula for the curve drop of a circle secondly it's based on the curve drop from an imaginary tangent at ground level where you're standing so you would go straight out 443 kilometers and then how far down the ground would be from there but that's not how we look into the distance the formula doesn't factor in our elevation which in the case of this photo from the top of pic Define straddles is 2826 meters above sea level we also don't look out perfectly perpendicular to where we're standing we look sort of down on an angle to the Horizon and then beyond it so such a curve calculation drop should really be more from where the hump in the Horizon is the objects begin to disappear from not from where you're standing unless you're lying down on the ground at sea level so if we use a more accurate curve drop calculator that is based on the formula for a circle and does in fact account for the viewer's elevation then the summit of pick Gaspard should be 1147 meters below the Horizon significantly less than the 11 000 meters that the eight inches per mile squared suggests but you know still below the Horizon which flat earthers will say proves that the Earth must be flat except this calculator doesn't account for atmospheric refraction these are simplified calculators working on just a basic Circle it's like when we used to do physics experiments in high school we were always told to just ignore air resistance or that the speed of light is 186 000 miles per second when that's only its speed in a vacuum and its speed actually varies through different mediums but for simplification we just stick with 186 000 miles per second...
