Cameras work the same. Derp

The are a lens!

they have the same resolution of the eye

who told you that

They have angular resolution

Citizens right

yes, but its improved, its not the same as the eye

Once the angular resolution hits a certain degree, the object(s) become unresolvable

Its optics

Read James Gibson. 1952.

But thats not what happened in the video. He raised a balloon up til he could see it across the lake with his naked eye. Then when he zoomed in with the camera, it was still just above the horizon with his camera zooming in all the way too it. I think he said it was 10 miles away, and it was attached to at least 25 feet of string, which wasnt seen by the camera or his eye.

And theres more

A rising balloon will work the same..you just see further as you rise in elevation due to the angular resolution

Imagine looking at your tv from center view. Then imagine putting your head against the wall and trying to watch it

He did it again with a longer string, and that one had flags attached. He let it go really high, then measured how much of the string was missing, first with binculars, then again with the pictures from his camera, with different zoom obviously

Why can you see more of the right wall than the left?

You are further from the right wall..closer to the left wall. Yet you see less of the left wall

hmm

And again

how can 3 different views of the object, with different zoom capabilities, give you the exact same effect, if the effect was supposedly due to the angular resolution of the device or eye?

The closer you are to the ground, the less you see

Especially over miles

In the pictures youre posting, you see less of the wall on one side than the other, but with the right zoom, you can see the entire wall on both sides

Eventually the light is unresolvable

If on a shallow angle

there were no angles in the balloon thing tho

A steep angle (rising elevation) you will see further

they were both on the shore

Explain what you mean once more plz.

There was one guy on one side of the shore, with a balloon and a long string. The other guy on the other side of the laske couldnt seek the first guy or his balloon. Then the first guy slowly raised his balloon, until the guy on the other side could see it. Then he zoomed in, took pictures. Even with the zoomed in picture, it was just over the horizon as it was with his naked eye, but from the perspective of the guy holding the balloon, it was at least 20 feet high.

Angular resolution

Did they measure the distance vs observer and target height using 8 inch per mile squared?

they measured the distances and heights, but I dont remember them. It was somthing from school. Let me see if I can find it

If you woke up this morning, you winning 🥇

Did it match to the globe model?

You can find multiple similar tests where it doesnt match the globe math

So you should scrutinize the info you are looking at and do the math yourself

If it matches the globe math, then great. Why do so many tests not?

Like Dr. John D's observations

Is the test you are looking at verifiable? Could it be faked? Probably
