This is video of a dude zooming in on a star. My question is what's causing this weird visual? Shitty lens?

Holy shit kid that's the best you've got? Filming through bent glass and deliberately making sure the horizon line stays at the top of the frame? Why doesn't he move the camera around instead of being a pussy?

>...have you ever actually tried this? because that's not what happens. they'll appear to get smaller and smaller, but at no point will any part of them disappear behind an object that isn't physically between you and them.
Absolute dingbat. Yes I've done this before you cretinous swine. The lower you are, the closer your horizon line becomes. If anyone moves pass this horizon line that meets at your eye level, they will begin to be obstructed by it. Prove otherwise, you can't.

>Not An Argument
It damn well is an argument, for you cannot say that gravity is a force pulling things towards the center of mass.

>you can literally see the ISS transit in front of the sun. if you think a hologram can block out light, you have no idea what a hologram is.
I said it COULD be one for all we know - some faggy little thing flying in the sky doesn't prove anything.

>with a $50 telescope you can see shadows cast by the rims of the moon's craters.
You assume they are shadows, you assume they are craters. You don't have any clue what they are unless you go there yourself.

>a lightbulb is also small and localized but it emits light in all directions, not in one direction.
What is your point?

>density and buoyancy only work if gravity exists.
What, curved spacetime? "Gravity" is just a catch-all word that describes the behaviour of objects, it doesn't actually exist as a physical substance, therefore is not scientific.

>the atmosphere and the ocean already co-exist side by side without a solid barrier.
The atmosphere and the ocean are contained within a pressurised system. An atmosphere side by side a vacuum is pressure next to de-pressure - impossible.
