Are you aware of how dim you sound?
Why is it that you require constant reminders of the topic at hand?
Is the subject that difficult for you to follow with anything resembling an understanding?
What I have been saying
repeatedly and what you (and others espousing a globe model) have been failing to explain is this:
How is it that objects
Reveal Hidden Contentships, buildings, cities, land masses, etc.
which should be below the horizon by virtue of their distance from the observer but are otherwise completely visible--- as if the earth has no curve at all?
There is a formula for determining the curve of a sphere which has been established based upon Pythagorean's Theorem.
It is relatively easy to find an internet calculator which also considers the height of the observer, but the formula otherwise is the distance multiplied by the distance with the product of that multiplied by eight inches which is then, in turn, divided by 12 inches.
This final number is the feet of loss for any given object
Reveal Hidden Contentship, building, city, land mass and etc.
from the perspective of an observer.
By way of example, from my vantage point west of the city, on clear days I am able to see a power plant up the coast from Cleveland. Depending on how clear, I am able to see the entirety of the two stacks as well as the buildings at the base thereof.
Using the formula above and taking into consideration my height at the shore, the plant ought to be ~542' below the horizon.
This isn't exotic, secretive stuff, divegeester; it's simple math.
If the world were, indeed, a globe, sites such as the one I am describing would be physically impossible.
Throughout the internet, there are hundreds of videos relaying the same information.
You'd have to be trying to miss them.
