CHRiS WRoCK - Flat Earth Curve Busters - No Curvature from 14, 30, 36 and 44 miles!
Dear CHRiS WRoCK,
Fact check, You FAIL
You have presented misinformation. I'm not sure if you just made an honest mistake, or whether it was deliberate.
At time mark: 1:02, your audio says "and I happen to remember going to the beach as a kid and looking across the lake and seeing the New York state coast off in the distance.
However, the video picture that you show at the same time has the heading, "Not the actual beach."
(see picture 1 below)
You provide NO PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF of the Ontario coast (Ajax) from New York, looking across Lake Ontario,
So the only thing you have to go by is your memory as a child?
To determine if the Earth has any curvature, lets test looking at the city of (Toronto, Ontario) from Olcott beach.
What does Toronto look like from Olcott?
(see picture 3 below).
Notice that we can the CN Spire Tower, which rises to a height of 1,815 feet from its base.
(see picture 2 below).
Comparing pictures 2 and 3 you should notice that NONE of the buildings next to the CN Tower are visible in the Toronto across the lake picture. That is because they are ALL HIDDEN by the CURVATURE of the EARTH.
The distance from Olcott Beach to Toronto is 38.45 miles.
Olcott, New York, Elevation, 272 ft (83 m)
Lake Ontario elevation = 243 ft
... which means that the photo of Ontario from Olcott could not have been at a height of more that (272 less 243 feet) = 29 feet.
Curve Earth calculations from a camera height of 20 feet indicate that 725 feet of the CN Tower base is hidden.
Curve Earth calculations from a camera height of 29 feet indicate that 676 feet of the CN Tower base is hidden.
I was not able to identify the names of the building right next to the CN Spire Tower, so we don't know for sure what their height is.
But anyway, since they are not seen in the across the lake picture of Ontario (picture 3) and are hidden by the curvature of the Earth, they cannot be more than 700 feet tall.
My calculations were done using the following...

My Summary:
Your video does not prove that the Earth is flat.
It does not prove anything since you don't have photos of the Canadian coast from New York.
The next time you present a YouTube video I recommend that you do better research, and present some actual proof.
Your bias stems from your statement, "I am a Christian." Why have you let your faith erode your capacity to reason?
The universe is, as it is. Not as you would like it to be.
