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
How
@jlegend things disappear from the bottom up because that's how light works
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
How is it incorrect
If you would like to show me your direct scientific measurements. I might believe you.
I'll be waiting.
But I'm not just going to take your word for it
I've seen zero evidence for a globe
I have some measurements telling me its flat
You can prove it using observation
Go to the ocean and look at the ships leaving
If the world were flat as you say then the ships would not be visible only from the top.
What abt Eratosthenes study
I think flat earthers say it also works with a small and local sun, idk how true that is though
Ffs are you dumb
