@here looking for a civil debate against the FE. Who's down?
that dosent ping anyone because you don't have any perms to use that
Hey
Who wants to debate me
meeeeeeee
debte me i need practice
Optical slant. Visibility
Amphidromic points
You have nothing but baseless assumption
we have
like
Good luck with your religion
well
nvm
anyone wanna talk abt how the earth isn’t flat
you a flat earther mae mae?
nope
hbu
just doesnt make sense to me
@Citizen Z Suppose that the earth is a sphere of radius 3963 miles. If you are at a point P on the earth's surface and move tangent to the surface a distance of 1 mile then you can form a right angled triangel. Using the theorem of Pythagoras a2 = 39632 + 12 = 15705370 and thus a = 3963.000126 miles. Thus your position is 3963.000126 - 3963 = 0.000126 miles above the surface of the earth. 0.000126 miles = 12*5280*0.000126 = 7.98 inches. That is the formula for finding the curvature.
Also there is a branch of mathamatics called Geodesy thats sole purpose is to calculate the curvature of the earth.
I suggest looking into that @Citizen Z .
Yes look into it
Pythagoras proves the flat earth
Do you have papers that weren't written by a crackpot?
Perhaps unbiased papers?
I will assume you only use insults when you are pushed into the corner of globetardness
but
omg
Zoom on the back of your head?
The earth doesn't bend light that way
If you zoom you're zooming in the direction you're pointing
Such light cannot be bend by earth.
Exactly
That's their standard refraction model for 123 miles
Well the blue is the earth. The red is the path light takes in their standard refraction model
So anything on the earth at the blue will be elevated to the red
by refraction
So that is the standard 7/6 R
If your at 1000 miles altitude I guess you can see the other side lol
Here's the thing. Actual experiments show refraction varies from 20X to - 20X

On the other hand, our empirical results show that the
refraction coefficient k may reach magnitudes as large as +12 to +16 over grassland at 1.8 m. This clearly
exceeds previously published ‘extreme values’ (e.g., maximum values of k = +6 at 1.5 m height over grassland,
cf. Hübner [1977]). We acknowledge that surface types like ice or water may even produce larger refraction
effects, as described in section 2.
As you can see from what I just posted , they measured what would be radius that would be 16 times larger than the earth radius
They think k they model refraction ,.In fact they model the deviation from from the globe radius.
They don't measure the refractive index of the air. the impute it from the deviation of an expected value
of course. Their model follows earths curve perfectly
think about how nonsensical that is. exactly equals the curve of the earth...idiocy...
