you're looking at a model that has a feature for distance measurement, whcih is an add on

2019-04-24 02:01:11 UTC  

No its not invisible. Its just not an accurate measurement

2019-04-24 02:01:18 UTC  

why wouldn't it be accurate

2019-04-24 02:01:28 UTC  

it's still an object in view, so why can't you measure its angular size

2019-04-24 02:01:40 UTC  

Look at the specs. I didnt invent it

2019-04-24 02:01:46 UTC  

You don't nkow what the specs mean

2019-04-24 02:01:51 UTC  

you're looking at one with an add on

2019-04-24 02:01:59 UTC  

i'm talking about regular theodolites that dont' measure distance, only angles

2019-04-24 02:02:08 UTC  

Because theodolites only measure up to max 600 meters

2019-04-24 02:02:17 UTC  

in disatnce ya, but not in angle

2019-04-24 02:02:21 UTC  

Show me specs that prove otherwise

2019-04-24 02:02:30 UTC  

From the manufacturer

2019-04-24 02:02:32 UTC  

sure i'll show you a regualr theodolite taht measure angle

2019-04-24 02:02:35 UTC  

Angle

2019-04-24 02:02:42 UTC  

Show the specs

2019-04-24 02:02:42 UTC  

one taht doesn't even have a distance measuring add on

2019-04-24 02:02:55 UTC  

Show me the data

2019-04-24 02:03:01 UTC  

From the manufacturer

2019-04-24 02:03:10 UTC  

Enough debate

2019-04-24 02:03:15 UTC  

Prove it.

2019-04-24 02:05:33 UTC  

A theodolite doesn't measure distance anyway

2019-04-24 02:05:47 UTC  

and it doesn't only work for objects within a certain distance

2019-04-24 02:05:57 UTC  

if you can see the object you can measure teh angle between it and somethign else

2019-04-24 02:06:13 UTC  

How did the mayans measure teh angle between teh sun and moon? are those closer than 600m?

2019-04-24 02:07:36 UTC  

^nothing about distance limitation

2019-04-24 02:09:14 UTC  

^accuracy stated in terms of angle, not distance

2019-04-24 02:09:39 UTC  

No

2019-04-24 02:10:51 UTC  

He's talking about theodolites that have laser range feastures

2019-04-24 02:10:55 UTC  

Which is an add on

2019-04-24 02:11:15 UTC  

Even lasers curve up in air

2019-04-24 02:11:30 UTC  

So the longer the distance, the more the deviation of actual horizon and refracted horizon

2019-04-24 02:11:47 UTC  

so how was it detected at the same height as teh source, over 40km? wouldn't the earth hae to be curving up for that to happen?

2019-04-24 02:12:22 UTC  

te DOME

2019-04-24 02:12:25 UTC  

What defines the "actual horizon" on a flat earth?

2019-04-24 02:12:36 UTC  

No, your belief in light always travelling in a straight line and ignoring lapse rate, ignoring snell's law, ignoring the fact cold air has a higher refractive index than warm air is why your model is wrong.

2019-04-24 02:13:44 UTC  

@Human Sheeple so using a laser to measure for flatness is flawed

2019-04-24 02:13:46 UTC  

I agree, but flat earth ignores that too
