Enlightenment From Lighthouses

A copy of the book “The Lighthouses of the World” and a calculator are
enough to prove that the Earth is not a globe, but an extended flat
plane. The distance from which various lighthouse lights around the
world are visible at sea far exceeds what could be found on a globe
Earth 25,000 miles in circumference.
NASA and modern
astronomers claim we are living on an oblate spheroid 25,000 statute
miles in equatorial circumference with a curvature of 7.935 inches to
the mile, varying inversely as the square of the distance, meaning in 3
miles there is a declination of nearly 6 feet, in 30 miles 600 feet, in
300 miles 60,000 feet and so on. Therefore, if we wish to prove or
disprove the validity of their convexity claim, it is a fairly simple,
straight-forward matter of measurements and calculations.
For
example, the Dunkerque Light in southern France at an altitude of 194
feet is visible from 28 miles away. Spherical trigonometry dictates that
if the Earth was a globe with the given curvature of 8 inches per mile
squared, this light should be hidden 190 feet below the horizon!
The
Port Nicholson Light in New Zealand is 420 feet above sea-level and
visible from 35 miles away which means it should be 220 feet below the
horizon.
The Egerö Light in Norway is 154 feet above high-water
and visible from 28 statute miles where it should be 230 feet below the
horizon.
The Light at Madras, on the Esplanade, is 132 feet high
and visible from 28 miles away, where it should be 250 feet below the
line of sight.
The Cordonan Light on the west coast of France is
207 feet high and visible from 31 miles away, putting it 280 feet below
the line of sight.
The light at Cape Bonavista, Newfoundland is
150 feet above sea-level and visible at 35 miles, where it should be
491 feet below the horizon.
The lighthouse steeple of St.
Botolph’s Parish Church in Boston is 290 feet tall and visible from over
40 miles away, where it should be hidden a full 800 feet below the
horizon!
The Isle of Wight lighthouse in England is 180 feet
high and can be seen up to 42 miles away, a distance at which modern
astronomers say the light should fall 996 feet below line of sight.
The
Cape L’Agulhas lighthouse in South Africa is 33 feet high, 238 feet
above sea level, and can be seen for over 50 miles. If the world was a
globe, this light would fall 1,400 feet below an observer’s line of
sight!
The Statue of Liberty in New York stands 326 feet above
sea level and on a clear day can be seen as far as 60 miles away. If the
Earth was a globe, that would put Lady Liberty at an impossible 2,074
feet below the horizon!
The lighthouse at Port Said, Egypt, at
an elevation of only 60 feet has been seen an astonishing 58 miles away,
where, according to modern astronomy it should be 2,182 feet below the
line of sight!
Another great example was the Notre Dame Antwerp
spire standing 403 feet high from the foot of the tower with Strasburg
measuring 468 feet above sea level. With the aid of a telescope, ships
can be distinguished on the horizon and captains declare they can see
the cathedral spire from an amazing 150 miles away. If the Earth were a
globe, however, at that distance the spire should be an entire mile,
5,280 feet below the horizon!
