Interesting topic but this is a shift of the burden of proof fallacy. As the one making the claim, flat earthers are supposed to supply empirical evidence (none of this "governments have a motive to do it" stuff). Disproving a spherical earth does not prove flat earth because the rejection of one theory is not proof for the other, so, a scientific study that proves the flat earth hypothesis please.

This article is a good place to start

No matter how far you go from eachother, if you have a powerful enough scope, you can always see the other ship.

Devshaan, holograms.

Overlord, I'm not your research assistant, there's plenty of information of the web. Unfortunately, almost all scientists are forced to lie under threat by the government. Or their being paid a pretty big check.

Also, you're all NASA's hired shills sent here to swarm me for exposing the truth to warlighters!

The earth is not flat. If it was flat, how would the sun rotate around us?

Buffalo, the video you posted does not show ships going over the horizon. It only shows how magnification helps see stationary objects more clearly.

To do the experiment correctly, the ship needs to be sailing away from the observer. Not laterally like some of the boats in the video, but directly away. Then, even with the most powerful telescope, the ship will slip over the horizon. Here is a video demonstrating this experiment:

Notice that as the sailboat goes over the horizon, the hull of the boat disappears but the sail is still visible. This isn't a problem with the telescope not being powerful enough. Rather, the earth is round.

I already explained this.

Do the lights seem as though they are sinking lower? Yes, but they remain at the same height!

It's an illusion!

These challenges about proving things actually raises a lot of questions about philosophy. You can literally create an argument about anything. If you consider philosophical skepticism, you can disagree with everything. No matter how much you argue, can you really completely prove anything? Is possible to ever have enough evidence to prove something? Is the earth flat or 3d? does the earth bend space-time because of gravity? does the higgs-boson control the power of gravity? does the earth exist? do we exist? why do we exist?

to prove a simple question may not be so simple after all, it could be impossible to prove anything anyway

You'd still be able to see the sun, even if it's dark in the portion of the earth where you are. You can actually try this yourself, go in a dark room and shine a flashlight on the wall, you'll still be able to see the beam of light even if you're not standing directly in it's path.

How is the Earth not flat?
Because it doesn't exist. It is only a figment of our imagination.

Exactly, the sun can be seen when it's across the Fla Earth.

When the sun can't be seen, it's because of clouds and atmosphere blocking your vision.

Umm it can? I was literally just outside dude, and no sun anywhere. If you'd like I guess I can take a picture to verify this.

take a photo cause i dont believe u

wow even the Islaamist is saying the Earth is a ball...and this is the one who doesn't believe in evilution...

Sorry, can't get any decent picture, it's too dark out:

But I mean suffice it to say there's no sun anywhere around here.

I was just skimming through this thread because it is somehow still relevant, and I have to comment here:

No matter how far you go from eachother, if you have a powerful enough scope, you can always see the other ship.

This is simply not true, even with a theoretically perfect scope, you can only see as far as their is nothing blocking your path. Things like fog.

Fog was made by the world government to hide it's secrets.

Benjamin, this is the third time i'm saying this.
