Ehhh, depends on weather conditions
well when we see it its an illusion
according to the glboe
globe
*Technically*, yes. Though, I'm not sure how much we'd expect to see hidden because I don't have any numbers on me right now
it should all be hidden
the highest building should be hundreds of feet under the curve
I'll go crunch the numbers real quick
@jeremy Okay so, did some research
The distance between Michigan and the Skylines are about 53 miles(85.350 km), the difference in elevation is about 7 meters, give or take, therefore viewer hight is around 8 m. Plugging these numbers into a curvature calculator gives you a hidden height of 373 meters. The highest buildings in the NY skyline are around 440 meters tall, so using *standard* numbers for refraction, you'd expect to see about 100 meters of building standing out.
ok well we know we are seeing more than the curve accounts for thats not a debate
the excuse is refraction light bending whatever
once again why its happenning isnt important
we know we see more than we should
noone is doubting we see more than we should
I mean you still have to explain *why* we see more than we should. Especially since on certain days we see *less* than we should. We know refraction is a thing because we can test it on smaller scales too, so it's less of an excuse and more the best explanation for the phenomenon
globe and flat people both know we see more than the globe accounts for
i can tell ur in favor of obethe gl
in favor of the globe
Well I mean even if you ignore refraction you have 444 meters hidden
so would u agree what we are seeing is an illusion
lol
we know thier is a lot of illusions taking place when we look out over a body of water would u say
Depends on the kind of illusion
nevermind
forget it
This is where the *why something happens* part is important lol
i understand that
im just saying their is a lot of illusions taking place when we look out over a body of water
Yeet
?
Yes
whats yeet lol
oh ok
so lots of illusions taking place out there
it's the furry way of saying yes
but the boats going over the curve is real
why that one thing
thats the only thing thats real out there everything else is an illusion
the cherry picked observations
they cherry picked
