It makes no sense to me when I show proof of objects obscured by the horizon while clearly seeing it and they tell me I don't understand how optics works.
Because OBVIOUSLY objects can be obscured by level water on a flat plane
Yes. @Technomatrix optics
Optical slant and angular resolution. Why distant objects distort and disappear from the bottom. https://youtu.be/FD9PDJ-xZgI https://youtu.be/uLLwzKPwTDc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVAWQGlXRWg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSAlVua7T4g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0Db03o_uIw
oh ok hi
that's a lot of links
@Citizen Z And what about the sun which is 4000 miles above the surface
it's not sliding across the ground
Objects could not be obscured on a flat plane, simple. Angular resolution is about diffraction and aperture

Well some people don't seem to understand
its possible on a flat earth
@Technomatrix show a reproducible experiment of buildings popping up above a curve in a scale model experiment
@Citizen Z angular resoltion is not teh angle between one object and another
@Citizen Z atmospheric lensing
@YouRYou angular resolution of the eye or lens
yep that's true
but as something gets far away it disappears all together, not bottom up
what if it went up away from you into the sky
would the bottom disappear first?
When the AR hits .02 in the eye, the light is no longer resolvable
right
It would disappear uniformly yes
the object will no longer be discernable
But in reality, it gets obscured while resolved well within angular resolution
@YouRYou bottom first because the bottom is closer to you than the top
wouldn't that make it disappear later? if it was closer?
The light is merging together with the surfac3
@YouRYou no
sso closer means it disappears first
how
The steeper the angle the more it will be resolvable
that's not the right angle when talking about angular resolution
that's the angle of view, not angle for angular resolution
angular resolution is the arc length of the object in the field of view
Angular resolution doesn't obscure anything, it becomes diffracted and depends on aperture of optics
Imagine those verticak lines are towers or buildings
i'd still be able to see the bottom no matter how far
Notice where the observer height is
until the object itself disappears
