Sunsets prove flat Earth:

Notice the sun didn't appear to shrink but disappears instead of sets. This is due to atmospheric lensing. Here's a reproducible example at a common place where this happens all the time.

It's called the "Shrinking Mill" because at a distance it is magnified by the atmosphere and will shrink as you approach it. I see this effect often when I am in a canoe on the lake. There's this island I paddle to. At first it doesn't seem that far away. After I've been rowing for a while, it seems like I'm not getting any closer. Eventually I get there after underestimating it's distance. This is because the island is shrinking as I approach it. Anyone can experience this. Most people that spend time on boats most likely has.

Here's an example of how atmospheric lensing would give the sun the appearance of setting while retaining it's size.

The horizon acts as the bottom of a lens. This cuts off objects starting from the edge of the lens as the object is magnified. Just like the reproducible model I linked.

In the right condition, you'll actually see the sun above the horizon until it's light can't penetrate the atmosphere to the distance it is being observed from.

The video I linked can be classified as a "black swan." I proved that atmospheric lensing can have this effect. Seeing the sun disappear instead of setting proves my point. Not all sunsets actually "set."

Now I'm going to clear up a misconception about what refraction is. Refraction is the bending of light. It's not some magical word that makes the horizon appear from behind a curve. When viewing an object from a distance, refraction is bending light creating the lense effect that I have clearly demonstrated with the "shrinking mill." This is a repeatable, verifiable occurrence. Nobody has ever provided a verifiable example of refraction levitate the image of an object that's simply not begging the question.

For example, here is a picture of the Chicago skyline from the Michigan shoreline at 60 miles away.

From the location where the photograph was taken, there should be 2000 feet of obstruction from the earth curvature. The tallest building in Chicago is 1750 ft. The entire city should be hidden.

And the ABC57 article begging the question that a mirage can cause the entire city of Chicago to project over 2000 feet in the air and perfectly line up with where the horizon would be if there was no curve.

Now ABC calls this a "Superior Mirage" but that is a fallacy. It's begging the question. A "Superior Mirage" is a reflection off the atmosphere above an object. An "Inferior Mirage" is a reflection off the surface below an object. There has never been an example of a mirage that doesn't experience inversion. It's a reflection.

Examples misinformed people try to give:

Most people don't understand what a false horizon is and believe they are witnessing an object floating in mid air. Wrong. The truth is, objects don't just float in the air. But what about refraction? These are the only examples I ever see when I ask to see evidence that refraction can levitate an objects image without inversion or distortion. It is clearly not. So any assumption of refraction as the cause to why a person could see an object that should be hidden by supposed curvature is a fallacy and is begging the question. It's that simple.

Conclusion: Earth has no curvature.
