In a Reddit post simply captioned: ‘Checkmate flat Earth society’ user amazed spirit shared an image of him or someone they know posing for a selfie atop Mount Everest with the – you guessed it – curved edge of the planet in the backdrop.
Everest, in case you skived every day of school, is the highest mountain above sea level, located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas on the border between China and Nepal.'Forget about dumb curvature arguments. The fact that you can only see 2.5% at a time proves it isn’t flat. If it was flat you should be able to see the whole thing from even just the top of the tallest mountain or on any commercial flat.
Though one user brought
into question whether the photographer was using a fisheye lens and thus distorting
the image.There was no appearance from ardent flat-earther Connor Murphy who
recently disclosed why we don’t fall off the edge of the planet.Connor, son of
famous flat-earther Dave Murphy, spoke exclusively to UNILAD about NASA, the
Sun, Photoshop and pretty much everything you’ve ever wanted to ask someone who
thinks the reason you see the curvature of Earth from a plane is because the
windows are round.

here:
Speaking about why NASA
and the government would lie about space travel, he said:''There are two good
reasons in my opinion. One obvious reason would be money. The money raised by
NASA alone since their inception is something like fifteen trillion dollars,
and with that money they’ve really shown little for their work.''A second thing
is to make people feel insignificant. It makes you feel like you’re an
insignificant speck of dust and therefore you’re easy to control. Basically if
you can imagine the globe squashed down with Antarctica instead of being its
own continent, being the perimeter around the side. So a lot of people say
that’s an ice wall. It’s more like a shelf or cliff.And as for why we don’t
fall of the edge of the world, he added:''Fall off into what, do you know what
I’m saying? The way we see it is it’s an enclosed system.''''There’s water
above, there’s the firmament – or the dome – and there’s water above it and
water below it and there’s no leaving it, there’s no finding other Suns and
stuff. You can’t fall off the edge, essentially.''What about the curve of the
Earth you can see when you fly? Conor said:You cannot see curvature from a
plane. The reason why it may seem is because of the way planes have to be
designed. Every single window on a plane has to be round and curved because the
cabin itself is curved.''You can’t have straight panes or they would explode
and everyone with the plane would be done. Next time you’re on a plane, look
out the window and at the wing, because the wing will seem to curve as well.
