Hey Philip! What happens when you dig a dead straight tunnel like say the
Channel Tunnel? Downhill part of the way and then uphill?

Steven sayeth, 3. If the powerful telescope is mercury leveled, and it has
cross-hairs etched in the centre then why do we not see the horizon below the
cross-hairs? The reality is, it's above!
You got me.. I must check it out. Water is level to gravity but curves away
from us. A fifty mile straight edge would soon prove that. If you built a road
50 miles long going East, and you ensured it was perfectly straight, not level,
but STRAIGHT, then if you walked along it you would be walking up hill all the
way, and the far end would be several feet above ground level. On the other
hand if you built the road perfectly level to a level, it would NOT BE STRAIGHT
but curved down away from you..
Looking to the horizon at sea.
If I set a telescope with a very narrow zoom field of view looking out over
the water, on a tripod levelled 5 ft above the water level. Then you would or
should never see the water or the horizon in its view. A better way would be to
look through a long thin tube in which there were no lenzes.. level the tube ,
observe.. you would see only sky. Now bring the tube into line with the horizon
just to the edge of the water.till the junction of sky and water is seen
through the tube. ... Voila I bet if you checked the angle of elevation of the
pipe it would be dipping down. no longer level...
