do some flat earthers think that what we mean by refraction that light bends toward the earth because its denser?

We know what you mean and it doesnt make sense

light is a wave

light travels slower in denser mediums

imagine a density gradient

the wave is traveling parelel to the gravient

the closer part of the wave will be traveling slower than the farther part

causing it to bend inward

it does make sense

temperature influences density

the fact is that earth is flat, and we see further than we should.

the IDEAL gas law shows that temperature influences density

we have never left low earth atmosphere, and free masons have tricked the public at large with psyops, NASA is a psyop that lies to the public.

we have never seen a blackhole, its made up science fiction, all we have is CGI images.

pressure also influences density

and the weight of the atmosphere itself applies a pressure onto the atmosphere below it

according to einstien who has been proven false, light is a constant and doesn't change how fast it moves

creating a density gradient that decreases farther from earth

there is no such thing as space, we live on flat earth, anything above the firmament is water as far as we know from the bible.

even on a flat earth this phenomenon should still exist

atmospheric refraction

Wait if you're saying we don't see across the horizon in a flat earth is because the light is bending towards the earth, then the waves with a smaller wavelengths should bend more than the ones with a larger wavelength

you have some mirage stuff going on with atmosphere, and some refraction.

you still have an atmospheric weight per area applying a pressure on the atmosphere below it

its not about applying pressure, its trying to see thru atmosphere that causes distortion the more you look thru

wavelengths are irelevant

why we have limited sight distances

they will bend the same no matter what

altho there is the effect of chromatic aberation

wich is where the refractive index depends on wavelength

well, we also have limited human sight, we can only see so far

there is no single function for this

its all measured

is there some conspiracy about refraction?

if flat earth existed then the horizon should be above eye level

I generally push one or so conspiracies, not stuff that isn't really debatable...

(ignoring haze)

horizon is at eye level

no matter how high you go

@Σ5 no no no, imagine I split a white ray of light and shine it across the horizon, if what Kevin says is true then certain colours must bend more
