ok

2019-03-26 00:38:40 UTC  

The lines going from observer to bottom of poles will close first

2019-03-26 00:38:48 UTC  

Cuz the viewer is closer

2019-03-26 00:38:56 UTC  

what if the object is equally above and below my eye level

2019-03-26 00:39:05 UTC  

Guys who is a Jake pauler here?

2019-03-26 00:39:06 UTC  

does bottom still disappear first? because angle to the top of the object would be the same

2019-03-26 00:39:31 UTC  

Its about the angle

2019-03-26 00:39:32 UTC  

Wait doesn't the atmosphere act like a curved lense?

Imagine it like a pair of scissors

2019-03-26 00:39:47 UTC  

And it can cause it to bend light

2019-03-26 00:40:00 UTC  

When the angles close in the lens. The light is gone

2019-03-26 00:40:13 UTC  

The light merges together

2019-03-26 00:40:21 UTC  

Eventually becoming a horizon line

2019-03-26 00:40:34 UTC  

Its still there..just unresolvable

2019-03-26 00:40:44 UTC  

Here's a video to go along with what he's saying.

2019-03-26 00:40:46 UTC  

that would happen to every part of the object simultaneously, not the bottom

2019-03-26 00:41:08 UTC  

@YouRYou no because the top of boat or mountain is further away from you

2019-03-26 00:41:14 UTC  

sup

2019-03-26 00:41:19 UTC  

how is it further

2019-03-26 00:41:22 UTC  

it's teh same distance away

2019-03-26 00:41:32 UTC  

Wrong

2019-03-26 00:41:33 UTC  

If im standing next to a building. What is further away the bottom or top?

2019-03-26 00:41:36 UTC  
2019-03-26 00:41:44 UTC  

the top

2019-03-26 00:41:46 UTC  

K

2019-03-26 00:41:51 UTC  

Now you see

2019-03-26 00:41:51 UTC  

Ding ding ding

2019-03-26 00:41:52 UTC  

but what if you eye level is in the middle of the object, like a boat

2019-03-26 00:42:01 UTC  

Depends on altitude

2019-03-26 00:42:05 UTC  

Then you will still see the bottom

2019-03-26 00:42:13 UTC  

Besides, how would something being further away make it easier to see

2019-03-26 00:42:22 UTC  

You raised your elevation

2019-03-26 00:42:31 UTC  

@YouRYou because of the angle

2019-03-26 00:42:39 UTC  

What angle

2019-03-26 00:42:51 UTC  

Come on, man..

2019-03-26 00:42:57 UTC  

You're using the wrong angle

2019-03-26 00:43:04 UTC

angular size is something else
