How far away is the FE sun?
How large is the FE sun?
How much would the FE sun change in size throughout the day?
The video makes assertions, but doesn't show any proof.

The FE argument that is strongest to me is the one showing the drop over distance. The trig is very easy to do, and proves that some very distant objects should not be visible if the earth was round.

x = sqrt(d^2  + R^2) - R
x is the drop in feet below the horizon
d is the distance to the object
R is the radius of the earth; 3960 miles

Miles Feet
1             0.67
2             2.67
3             6.00
4           10.67
5           16.67
6           24.00 
7           32.67
8           42.67
9           54.00

That can be approximated by x = (d/1.22)^2. Checkout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon for other pertinent things that might come into play. There are optical effects such as seeing Chicago from Michigan (mirage).

Your strongest argument needs to explain viewing ships coming from or going to the horizon. Why is the base the last/first visible on approaching/leaving?

Great Job Kyle... If the earth was flat and the sun was circling over head instead of underneath then sunset and sunrise would be called sun fade and sun grow... Because that's what the sun would look like... All these flat earthers have been brain damaged by fluoride, gmo, vaccines, drugs and alcohol, junk food, JWO crappy education, TV, and Hollywood movies like the Matrix... I'm convinced that movies and music puts a spell on people. Since the movie the matrix so many shells have fallen for the idea that we live inside some virtual world prison planet and that everything around is an illusion. Or that are souls are being harvested for energy... Maybe we have the power to create are own realities and if you believe in something like the matrix the universe will send you into your matrix fantasy world... I'm personally dreaming of a utopia with beautiful women and unharmed nature, crystal clean rivers and tropical rainforest... No bugs would be nice : )

The "Flat Earth" is just a diversion....keeping attention away from the basic threat -- the NWO as ushered in by the Global Jewish Banking Crime Syndicate with their henchmen, the duped US Military Goyim Freemasons, who are ruled at the top by crypto-Jews like retired Gen Wesley Clark.
The Whole Globe is being enslaved by the NWO -- a New Feudalism with new Kings and Barons.

This is an intelligent argument. I would like to see an explanation for why the sun does not get smaller the farther away it goes... and there may be one out there. I like the idea of more eyes on the issue and love argument that don't call people names for simply going against the status quo... that is just an insult to everyone's intelligence.

Too may problems with the earth as a sphere for me... but not as many as earth as a spinny globe careening through the universe at break neck speeds...

Blake- thank you for the awesome shorter formula!

I do not see evidence for the base of ships being first/last visible on the horizon. Here is a link to the libertad video that supposedly supports round earth. The mast is the last visible. But the horizon line jumps up between clips; which means that the height of the camera lens has been adjusted between clips; which means it is not an objective observation.

Attesting that the view of Chicago from Michigan is a mirage, to my mind, sounds like, "These aren't the droids you're looking for."

Viewing Chicago from Michigan has to be an optical effect because it is rare to be able to view it.

The flat Earth hypothesis isn't that interesting to me. But what is interesting is tide modeling. Try doing it with a flat Earth model. It is very complicated in the current model; maybe you could simplify it with a FE model.
