do u know how perspective and angular resolution refraction all that works ?

2019-04-24 14:48:33 UTC  

ive seen it done manhy times

2019-04-24 14:48:41 UTC  

cause there is a vid that does that exact experiment

2019-04-24 14:48:49 UTC  

Basically, on a flat earth, it is an "illusion"

2019-04-24 14:49:09 UTC  

it shows a boat with a huge carboard with stripes

2019-04-24 14:49:34 UTC  

as the boat moves away the botom stripes started to disapere

2019-04-24 14:49:44 UTC  

disappear*

2019-04-24 14:49:51 UTC  

sooooo

2019-04-24 14:49:55 UTC  

its a sphere

2019-04-24 14:50:19 UTC  

u know what the smart flat earthers said to counter that

2019-04-24 14:50:25 UTC  

"heat waves"

2019-04-24 14:50:27 UTC  

HAHAHAHHA

2019-04-24 14:50:28 UTC  

well a lot of what happens at the horizon is an illusion though right astrala

2019-04-24 14:50:51 UTC  

when we see chicago from michigan its an illusion

2019-04-24 14:50:54 UTC  

at the horizon

2019-04-24 14:50:58 UTC  

a camera can solve that problem

2019-04-24 14:51:51 UTC  

is that image astralsentient sent an illusion?

2019-04-24 14:52:10 UTC  

@jeremy Isn't that a bit ironic? Flat earthers having to deny their senses to explain away the obstructions if the horizon

2019-04-24 14:52:36 UTC  

that image he sent has to do with refraction perspective and angular resolution

2019-04-24 14:52:42 UTC  

I thought flat earth was about accepting your senses rather than mathematical theoretical constructs

2019-04-24 14:53:45 UTC  

that could be an obstruction of the horizon or it could have to do with perspective refraction angular resolution too though no ?

2019-04-24 14:53:58 UTC  

u act like the only explination is the curve

2019-04-24 14:54:13 UTC  

oh no there are other explanations

2019-04-24 14:54:20 UTC  

i just told u the other ones

2019-04-24 14:54:31 UTC  

sunsets

2019-04-24 14:54:43 UTC  

are we done with the boat thing

2019-04-24 14:54:44 UTC  

how can there be sunsets

2019-04-24 14:54:53 UTC  

sunrises and sunsets once threw me off flat earth

2019-04-24 14:54:56 UTC  

we won with the boat thing

2019-04-24 14:55:00 UTC  

The most rational explanation is that a hump of water is obstructing it.
Alternatives could include bendy light and such but remain unproven ad hoc speculation

2019-04-24 14:55:09 UTC  

u won the boat thing idk

2019-04-24 14:55:34 UTC  

but there are so much evidence surrounding the boat thing

2019-04-24 14:56:09 UTC  

i jsut gave u other things it could be besides the curve though

2019-04-24 14:56:19 UTC  

u arent taking them into consideration

2019-04-24 14:56:39 UTC  

yeah but it seems a bit farfetched

2019-04-24 14:56:59 UTC  

seems a bit realistic since thats how perspective angular resolution and refraction work

2019-04-24 14:57:12 UTC  

but the horizon is huge

2019-04-24 14:57:22 UTC  

?

2019-04-24 14:58:10 UTC  

ok then

2019-04-24 14:58:15 UTC  

how does it work
