	So if we do this - generate a 3D model of the cause way and model it as if it was on a flat surface or if it was on a globe of radius 6,371km - and "film" that 3D model at the same zoom factor as we did in real life we can compare the two models with the image shot in reality.

 The usual argument that a flatty will make about this is that the image is CGI.
 But here we have the images live streamed in video from the 16th floor of the Mariot hotel window overlooking Lake Pontchartrain.

Lake Pontchartrain Causeway or Lake Pontchartrain Bridge is 23.83-mile (38.35 km) twin-span bridge in southeastern Louisiana.

Glober legend [[Soundly]] made the causeway famous by shooting video and still photos of it with high zoom. The perspective foreshortening effect that occurs when using high zoom brought the curve of the earth into view. Much to the chagrin of flunts everywhere.
