Reply	Kit Barritt says: It is not possible to apply the scientific method to a subjective test without the presence of a control. If I go up the tower and claim I can see the curvature of the horizon this proves nothing. The use of straight edges against which a the horizon can be compared was not part of the original posit. Unless the curved horizon could be randomly replaced with a non-curved horizon and a blind (no pun intended) test performed, it is not possible to determine whether the curved is detected or imagined. Anyone care to suggest how such as non-curved horizon could be constructed on the same scale.  (no votes) Tags: animals, planet earth, plants.

Reply	Tim Kasoar says: A previous person (John Twin) commented that if he lived closer, he would just do the experiemnt himself. I agree - but why do you need to live closer? a simple internet search of 'view from top of blackpool tower' can provide all the answers you need.  (no votes) Tags: animals, planet earth, plants.
