So is the Earth flat or a globe?

Neither, it\'s a concave bowl at 3min 25secs.

They realise their mistake and quickly cut to another shot.

Obviously caused by a fisheye lens.

But is that what causes the curve, the right way around?

The video at timestamp 18 Feb 2020 07:46:28 says a bit more on the concave / convex fisheye lenses.

Good post SM
There was a video,
I think it was called (rocket hit dome) .
Where the fish eye lens rocks back and fourth.
And u see the horizon go concave to flat to convex.

Apparently, you can not make a sphere flat using a fisheye lens, Southampton.

\"And u see the horizon go concave to \'FLAT\' to convex. \" - makes you wonder how this is possible? .

If you happen to know someone who can verify this, I think we have some solid evidence, I sadly don\'t have a fisheye lens.
{Ed033\'s Note - Maybe southampton means, concave to convex?

Southampton wasn\'t wrong in what he said, Ed.

I am saying that a \'globe Earth\' will NEVER be \'flat\' in a fisheye lens. If I am correct, it will be a wave.

I need to check this for myself.

A \'Flat Earth\' would appear \'FLAT\' in the middle of a fisheye lens.
{Ed033\'s Note - ok thanks.

Yes your both right sorry didn\'t look down page.
Horizon in my opinion of the video
When though all three stages, from concave to flat to convex as the camera tilted up and down.

I think horizon on a spear would just be a lot more dramatic lol.
Like there cgi.
