And zooming out would submerge the ship back under the horizon. This could be recorded on a video. But I have never seen such a video. I have seen videos where flat-Earthers claim this is documented, but in all these videos there is just a ship still completely above the horizon, where zooming in and out only makes it smaller or bigger. No submerging/reappearing of the hull is happening. | |
