    The point everyone is missing here is that a photo can't provide any proof as they could alter perception. The horizon is an illusion because you essentially see in a circle around you. What you perceive as being boyond the horizon is merely what's beyond your field of vision. I'll keep quiet on the ship thing lest it gets seen as trolling again but even if the world was flat you'll still not be able to see everest.

    Everybody is taking this too seriously. Everyone will have an opinion with perfectly valid reasons for it.

    There is some fiendishly clever physics/mathermatics that shows that a sphere [or close approximation thereof] is the optimal shape for stable bodies. From the little I understund, it has something to do with gravity.
