Lul

@Quorum listen, you said something about Polaris, I responded about Polaris,
then you tried telling me the star trails aren't of Polaris.
I never said the star trails were of Polaris.
I think this is a misunderstand and I'm done with it.

I thought you meant that in my reality, I also thought that Polaris was below the equator

Polaris is the north star

You said "yet people see polaris below the equator". You said that right after saying "so in your reality"

The wording confused me.

Ok np

People do see Polaris below the equator

Which shouldn't happen on a globe. Another claim for a mirage

It's only just barely under the equator, which I'm pretty sure the article said

It starts to fade the more south you get from the equator

"Under typical atmospheric conditions, this adds 0.57° to an object’s altitude, so Polaris would barely show up from 1.23° south latitude."

The two points I listed are way further down the equator.

Deducing things from the spherical model is wrong to begin with

What? I concluded that the point in those photos is not Polaris, meaning it is a different point in the sky using simple deduction. Idk what you mean tbh

K. Please show me your measurements of the surface

Interested.

What kind of measurements?

Measurements of the earth curving at the globe math given

1 sec

Someone told me about the 8 inches per mile squared thing, he said this: "8 inches per mile squared calculation is a parabolic approximation of a circle, rather than a linear drop off."

Ships going to the horizon will start to dissapear from the bottom of the mass to the top. This is bc the horizon is curved or round

On a flat earth the boat would just get smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

Brb in like 5-10 mins or somethin

@jlegend wrong

How

@jlegend things disappear from the bottom up because that's how light works

It is bc the ship is going past the curved horizon

When you are standing on the beach and looking into the distance, the farther you look, the more shallow the angle becomes. Once that angle of light bouncing of the objects in the distance hits .02 degrees, the light becomes unresolvable. Think of a boat as trillions of photons of light coming to your eye. When that light hits a certain angle, it's not longer resolved

@jlegend your last comment. that's the reason the globe gives. Its assumed. It is not science. Its just an assumption based of thinking you live on a ball. No measurements, nothing.

Based on my reason

The correct reason

We live on a round earth

And I hate to tell you but its incorrect
