is their an experiment for why we see chicago from michigan ?

2019-05-06 14:36:22 UTC  

What kind of experiment would you look for?

2019-05-06 14:40:13 UTC  

i would also throw the inverse square law into the perspective refraction and angular resolution as to why the boats appear to be going over a curve

2019-05-06 14:40:57 UTC  

some sort of proof that it would be possible to see chicago from michigan from behind a curve an experiment that proved that

2019-05-06 14:42:04 UTC  

I..I mean. You could get a buddy who lives near the lake and tell them to take a picture at different elevations and see how much of the buildings you can and can't see

2019-05-06 14:42:13 UTC  

Then crunch the numbers and see if they match reality

2019-05-06 14:42:18 UTC  

more experiments should be done before we start assuming things

2019-05-06 14:43:08 UTC  

i dont think their could even be curved water int he first place

2019-05-06 14:43:18 UTC  

im not a flat earther but im not a globe earther either

2019-05-06 14:43:24 UTC  

i want some proof

2019-05-06 14:43:25 UTC  

@jeremy tides prove water isn't flat over large bodied

2019-05-06 14:43:33 UTC  

Uhm

2019-05-06 14:43:41 UTC  

You know water drops are curved, right..?

2019-05-06 14:44:07 UTC  

the ocean is curved and water drops are curved are you saying they are curved for the same reason ?

2019-05-06 14:44:16 UTC  

More or less, yes

2019-05-06 14:44:22 UTC  

Those are different causes

2019-05-06 14:44:33 UTC  

gravity is pulling the water to the center of earth so the water droplet is curved ?

2019-05-06 14:44:47 UTC  

No the drop is surface tension

2019-05-06 14:44:48 UTC  

or is it surface tension

2019-05-06 14:44:53 UTC  

yeah i know

2019-05-06 14:44:56 UTC  

It's falling bc of gravity

2019-05-06 14:44:57 UTC  

not the same thing

2019-05-06 14:45:05 UTC  

And tides are due to tidal gravity

2019-05-06 14:45:12 UTC  

i can show u a water droplet curved that isnt falling though

2019-05-06 14:45:15 UTC  

Cohesive and adhesive forces pulling water molecules together

2019-05-06 14:45:17 UTC  

Hi ive just became a flat earther

2019-05-06 14:45:20 UTC  

surface tension can happen in a glass of water

2019-05-06 14:45:24 UTC  

Yep

2019-05-06 14:45:31 UTC  

But tides is something else

2019-05-06 14:45:33 UTC  

But your exact words were "I don't believe that water curves"

2019-05-06 14:45:47 UTC  

Yet, since droplets can curve, water can demonstrably curve too

2019-05-06 14:45:49 UTC  

I like how the earth is round

2019-05-06 14:45:50 UTC  

i dont believe a large body of water not in a container can curve let me specify

2019-05-06 14:46:00 UTC  

Now that's a lot better

2019-05-06 14:46:02 UTC  

lol

2019-05-06 14:46:07 UTC  

u guys are nitpicky

2019-05-06 14:46:17 UTC  

Language is important bud

2019-05-06 14:46:20 UTC  

yeah

2019-05-06 14:46:37 UTC  

so thats waht i believe if not for surface tension water doesnt curve

2019-05-06 14:47:05 UTC  

surface tension and gravity pulling the oceans to the center of earth are 2 totally different things

2019-05-06 14:47:11 UTC  

one is real one is a theory
