Jewniverschitty “science” and all things impractical assume the earth is a giant spinning baal. The same banker whore scientists will tell you that water retains its level and the surface is always flat. They’ll also tell you that around 3/4ths the earth’s surface is water. Uhhh—huhuhuhuhuh—.

Periscopes

Water finds its own level and stays flat. Everyone will tell you this, and you can observe this any way you like. The whole periscope industry depends on it, with seamen paying thousands of zogbux for scopes that can see at least 30 km (common telescopes go 6X, military periscopes go 16X or even higher. 16X = 16 times your normal range of vision). The periscopes go a half meter max above the water surface in good weather (they keep them low to avoid detection). Looking out over 30 km would be impossible, as the “curvature” would be 70.6 meters (over 21 storeys or floors of a building). I.e., on a spherical earth, the submarine would be at the top of a “heap” of water, the periscope wouldn’t see very far.

(New periscopes are called photonics masts and their range has been publicly stated as being 30 km, but they could probably see much further on clear days).
