@Citizen Z Is this the right place?

2019-03-30 21:26:16 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

So i think that the horizon dropping below eye level with altitude is proof the earth can't be flat

2019-03-30 21:26:47 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

Ok i can tell you my measurements, show you images, would that suffice?

2019-03-30 21:27:29 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

Didd that include a theodolite, and an accurate indication of horizontal eye level?

2019-03-30 21:27:49 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

Yes, but I'm measuring the visual horizon

2019-03-30 21:27:56 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

That's the better one to use

2019-03-30 21:28:39 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

wait do you know what a theodolite is?

2019-03-30 21:28:44 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

it measures angles, not distance

2019-03-30 21:28:56 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

sorry I'm a CE surveyor, you're wrong

2019-03-30 21:29:24 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

yards isn't angle

2019-03-30 21:29:30 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

i'm not using it in distance mode

2019-03-30 21:29:43 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

No you're 100% wrong sorry

2019-03-30 21:29:54 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

It reports the visual angle between any two things in your view

2019-03-30 21:30:09 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

And it can tell you horizontal accurately

2019-03-30 21:30:56 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

It isnt' measuring the distance

2019-03-30 21:31:07 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

Can you SEE the horizon through the sight of the theodolite?

2019-03-30 21:31:10 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

then you can measure teh angle

2019-03-30 21:31:14 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

And that's all you need

2019-03-30 21:31:43 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

It's not used for distance

2019-03-30 21:31:46 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

it's used for measuring angles

2019-03-30 21:31:48 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

like a sextant

2019-03-30 21:32:14 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

A theodolite /ฮธiหหˆษ’dษ™laษชt/ is a precision optical instrument for measuring angles between designated visible points in the horizontal and vertical planes.

2019-03-30 21:32:23 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

No you're wrong, if it' sin your view you can measure the visual angle

2019-03-30 21:32:26 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

Dunno why you're saying this

2019-03-30 21:32:49 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

Just like i can measure angular size of the moon or sun

2019-03-30 21:32:55 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

or an object out in the ocean

2019-03-30 21:33:23 UTC [The Ice Wall #civil-debate]  

1 microrad is a typical resolution for the angle
