at 3 miles its roughly hiding 6 feet of curvature, according to globe believers
^
Per mile squared
Get it right
your going to continue to use stuff I said out of context?
YES
don't quote me again Big Lover
It's kinda funny
I'm warning you
No
The context matters
You’re getting the math entirely wrong Kevin. It’s 8 inches per mile squared. A tiny mistake in wording, but it makes a huge difference.
So one mile is eight inches
he's not interested in facts
Its the principle that matters meta
but good point nonetheless
Yes why does the horizon occur anyway?
the problem is that if you actually try to use it for close work, you can have hills creating fake curvature
or you can have someone level the hills, and then what, you removed that curvature in the short term?
And why does your horizon distance increase as you gain altitude?
some places are flatter than other places
Kevin did u see metaphysical recent change
Goto reception
Kevin why does the horizon exist, and why does it get more distant as you gain altitude?
Lol
@The18thDoctor gradiant slope
Optical slant
Do you have some sort of diagram?
Sure

What object or thing blocks the light from things beyond the horizon?
this shows perspective, and convergence at your viewing distance

How angular resolution works:

The further an object (i.e. boat, building mountain) gets away from the lens, the angular separation will continue to close until the light blurs together and eventually becomes a line or point or edge"

"As he looks downward toward his feet the slant approaches zero, as he looks upward the slant increases, as the center of clear vision approaches the horizon the slant becomes maximal, and at the horizon itself the land ceases to be a surface and becomes an edge"

As you look down the right side of the hallway, you'll see the angular separation of light begins to close the further you look. Then looking at the left side of the hallway you'll notice the angular separation of light does not close or blur as quickly as the right side.
