The light should be according to my maths 930 odd feet below line of sight at that range
Watch this ^^^^
Flat earthers will quote the height and range of a lighthouse and then claim the light should be hundreds of feet below the horizon at that range if the world were spherical. So therefore the world is flat. But they are assuming the listed range of a lighthouse is the maximum range it can be seen from a ship at sea; it is not.
The range listed is the "nominal range" of the light, i.e. the range the light can be seen when the meteorological visibility is 10 nautical miles. It is solely a function of the light's brightness.** Why make a light brighter than it could ever possibly be seen at those distances on a spherical Earth? **Fog. A very bright light will still be visible from several miles away in light fog. That was very important in the days before electronic navigation methods became available.

I knew it was gonna be immediately buried... 😒
I mean, he does bring up a clever counterpoint.
It’s not the typical “wElL rEfrACtiOn, bR0.”

Where else can I find that photo of light bending
what photo?
Flat earth refraction
Is anyone here proficient in AVR Assembly?
(Kind of random, but I figured I’d ask.)
no im not
Microprocessors? Nada
