is what it is
ice walls aka ice shelves
imagine i come from austrialia
and everyone there is literally so dumb
nah
Wait hold up
yes we believe "Australia" exists
That artist rendering on the ice wall
Has a curved earth
Im uhh
Befuddled here
It’s an artist rendering, yes.
Would said artist be implying that the earth has some level of curvature, even if it may not be spherical?
The edge of earth may in fact be curved round, though we can’t really see it ourselves from where we are.
you mean the live feed that stops every 45 mins for 2 hours
ya we laugh at it
its cgi
we dont care
Fake
Thats a good point tbh, stuff like this isnt too hard to whip up in 3ds max
cgi is not reality
This is how angular resolution works physically in the eye.

Cameras work the same way.
The cones of the retina is a zoom in of the eye. If the angular size of the target is not enough to activate more than a single cones/sensor the object is unresolvable.
There are 3 ways to decrease angular separation.
1. Move the two separate targets further or closer together.
2.Increase the distance.
3. Change the angle of view.

First here is a demonstration of how angle of view changes the angular separation of 2 targets. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/459806914331541504/unknown.png
For example in this image, as the stop sign's angular size shrinks from distance or angle, the image that prjected onto the retina also shrinks. Eventually it will reach such as small size the eye can not physically detect the light. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/459808085436006410/refraction_cornea.png
A geometric analogy would be closing a pair of scissors. When the scissor tips are closer together than the spacing between the rods and cones of the eye then you get to see the target. The point where the tips cross from too close to normal vision is the angular resolution.

When the angle of view becomes to much it pretty much goes parallel, but you lose sight of the ground before that. It's the same on the globe too but even worse because the angle of view is increasing quicker because of the curving away of the ball surface.
@The Big Gambino - Dude, ..go do an image search, ..and or go see just about ANY documentary on "Antarctica"
you'll see ice walls/ice shelves...
big gambino
95% of Antarctica's coastline is ice walls/ice shelves
if your just gonna argue
why are you here
To discuss I'm guessing
hes not
Oh, kk
@The Big Gambino stop.and learn
hes just here to win some fake debat epoint sin his head
reminds me of potato
Angular resolution for the eye at about 0.02 degrees
@The Big Gambino no. Its not wrong
