1. nasa states the earth curve can be seen at 35,000 ft and you'll need a wide view. cameras have been up atleast 100,000ft and none was detected. 

2.  ships can see light houses atleast 20 miles away , using the formula for the earth curve , that lighthouse would be a more than 150 ft below the horizon. 

3. your correct , only difference is the water is inside of the container , gravity solves this issue as many would claim , but there is one problem , gravity has the power to hold millions of tons of water stuck to the earth , but butterflies and insects go about their lives unaffected by the massive force called gravity.

1.  If I say something's clearly visible to me and the reason you can't see something is probably because of poor vision, just saying the words "none was detected", i.e. repeating the fact that you can't see the thing, doesn't refute me.

2. Oh gee I wonder how a tower built to shoot a directional beam of light over the horizon to be easily spotted by passing ships might be spotted from a ship that's over the horizon?

3. And how could a force that affects objects in proportion to their mass *possibly* have so small an effect on creatures whose mass is very small?

1. that was not the issue , im just asking the question , nasa says something total different so , unless you have done more extensive research i cant see how you can explain why we dont see it when nasa says we should. this is your science im using.

2. if this where true , the beam of light would be poiting to the sky , use your senses and look at diagram of this example.

3. density causes objects to rise and fall , not gravity.

1. Eh, I can't refute or necessarily explain the fact that you can't see something, but if I can see it and the scientific establishment says it's supposed to be there, then I have every reason to think the problem is with you. That's maybe not much of an argument for the Earth being round, but if you're just asking a question, then I'm fine just answering "well, I can see the curvature, so maybe it's something wrong with your eyes?"

2. Okay, describing lighthouses as specifically designed to send light over the horizon was an exaggeration and they'd be designed differently if that was the main goal; they're intended to send light as far as possible but that mostly means being visible at medium distances through bad weather, being visible over the horizon on clear nights is a useful side effect. The point is, powerful directional beams of light are visible over the horizon. Also, between the height of a shipboard observer and the height of the top of a lighthouse, some ships might simply have direct line-of-sight to some lighthouses over 20 miles' worth of curvature.

3. The first problem with that theory, and there are lots of problems with it, is that "Density" is a scalar quantity and not a force.
