These next images show someone how the angle stays the same but the area that you are actually observing increases. You can see the 5th image how the bottom of a building would disappear.

They are using this stuff for self-driving cars. To automate the driving they have to turn the perspective view into an orthographic top down view.

The soure of that image.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/0/20937803

Even though the title is BS. No one sees further. You ONLY capture more light.

This is how they build telescopes, to capture light.
Large telescope are reflectors. The larger convex lens gets the more distortion. So they made this. It all works the same generally speaking. A telescope will only help so much. It depends on the light collecting ability that is determined by the diameter of the lens. Some of these aren't built yet...

They are making the lens bigger not building 15 mile long telescopes.

Here is a demonstration of angular resultion effects with an eye charts 1D is distance from chart 2D is 2 time the distance etc...

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

Next we have what is called Spatial Disorientation & Visual Illusions which includes our visible horizon. Sometimes called the offing, this apparent line is where the sky meets the ground and is being perceived as an edge because of perspective due geographical slant and other optical phenomena.

Jesus fucking Christ

Lol

lol wat

Dump of dumps

O

Remember to give citations at least

[John 11:35]

So much text

So much scrolling

Jesus wept is a good quote

I agree

Citations are there

I can post that on people's cringe compilations

Citations where

@[Ex-Mitch] 21.2.19 It’s really great to see you. Are you on a time limit?

Somewhat.

Hey mitch

👋

Don't feel like speaking right now.

Listen.

Hey Mitch

#BYEEEEEEEEE

No

I'm having connection issues

I'm in the chat

It's too late for me to contribute properly

I'm sure

I have my own work to do
