I am the flying dutchman
With a bag o weed
On the horizon
@skaffa yippa As you wish
😃
@The Gwench sounds spooky
No spoopy here please
Is the discussion here usually about flat earth?
@skaffa yippa What do you think of your name now? 😂
Eeeek
@HyperBaroque no. We like to talk Conspiracies
A lot
Like dirty filthy commies
However, because flat earth is one of our conspiracies, we attract many bully-like trolls...globules that is. 😂
And hobgoblins
Lol
this is certainly reflection You can see a horizon line behind the boat https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/533407941412388871/ship-fatamorgana-600x319.png
I mean, I do consider flat earth a validly discoursible conspiracy. I just don't consider it good debate because I can't be convinced the earth is flat, and I've already been in to the hilt with all the flat earther tactics, so for me it's only really worthwhile when the flat earther crowd comes up with a new one.
A new tactic. 🤔
It is generally accepted that mirage is formed when temperature of the ground surface, in a flat area like desert, is higher than the temperatures of the over ground air layers. In this case, light emerging from a distant object makes total internal reflection in the air layers and forms the image of the object that is called mirage. Our investigation on mirage formation in desert indicates that there is no meaningful relation between mirage formation and temperature change over the ground. In addition, we show that, the interference of the lights reflected from different air layers destroys the coherency of the image forming light. This happens because the temperature change occurs in an interval larger than a wavelength. In the second part of the report we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that flat rough surfaces behave like mirrors at very large incident angles. We show that there is a threshold incident angle for observation of image in a rough surface that depends on the surface roughness and light wavelength. The shortest distance between observer and the image is determined by the threshold incident angle. Mirage is such an image. Image formation is studied in rough sheet glass surfaces that prepared by grinding with powders of different sizes.
I do like some of the side discussions that come up. Especially about questioning the completeness of theories about electromagnetism (especially concerning Earth's magnetosphere), gravity, and light physics.
Jadon. You must first understand why flat earthers have come to their belief...then you will be able to debate better. 😉
If we don't question the theory of gravity, for instance, we'll never dismantle it and improve on it towards unifying it with other theories.
in short its just reflection, thats what a mirage is
Actually, <@484198784901840897> Citizen has been giving you valuable info that you choose to ignore.
there is no evidence i have seen with measurements of boats being shown to go over any curve. its always just assumed a curve because the boat starts disappearing or miraging
its not the same whatsoever
<@484198784901840897> Can I assume you learned about refraction with lenses?
<@484198784901840897> what happens to light when it passes through a convex lens?
Really focusing on thr issue now

If we turn the image 90 degrees , AT a further distance that would look like one windows and the horizon would appear to be where the wall is
Disregard the light part of the graphic and just think about the wave form. Imagine the ground or sea is like that. With a Side view , Say you are all the way on the right looking toward the left at the same height as the wave peaks. You would see nothing not light that goes "inside" the waves. To the observer it would appear as a smooth surface
What happens to light with a convex lens?
I mainly came here to see if anybody has listened to the recent Conspiracy Unlimited podcast about Paul Is Dead.
That’s correct Jadon.
@HyperBaroque no you can post?
