h/tan(0.02 degrees) = d
h is observer height, and d distance to horizon. It gets about 3.2 miles at 6 foot observer height, which is more or less accurate. But at altitudes like 40,000 feet, it blows up.

@Citizen Z got up for a sec, glad you responded. why do you trust Wikipedia, a wiki anyone can edit, as a reliable source for "The angular resolution of the eye is .02 degrees"?

@Technomatrix so you discount visibility?

Visibility, sure, but on a clear day, we should see much father than we do in reality

@Technomatrix do you live inside a vacuum?

On a globe, it makes sense. On a flat earth, not so much

@Technomatrix prove it.

well, I got perspective accounted for. Now I'll just need footage from commercial flights

@vazorium it's not just wiki

@Citizen Z what primary source would you trust and why?

So you disagree?
The angular resolution of the eye is not .02 degrees?

@vazorium please show me your findings

I'm interested

@Citizen Z you made a positive claim, I want to see how you go about proving it

Test it

You have optical measurements that precise? lmao

Earth is round

Debate settled

Show me that it's wrong. I have no reason not to believe it. Its verifiable

Unlike the globe

Globe has been observed flat earth hasn't

@Bear. who observed the globe?

Did you?

@Citizen Z So, hold on a second, when people who disagree with you post primary sources from scientists you presume they're part of a government conspiracy but when you find Wikipedia articles that proport science-sounding facts they're gospel.

Why are some scientists' claims valid and others not?

@vazorium no. I'm saying optics is verifiable. Space is not.

Gtg for a bit.

@Citizen Z Right, so we can trust medical science now? Are *you* going to tell *me* that vaccines don't cause autism like medical science says?

This form of reasoning is extremely ad-hoc.

@vazorium I never claimed vaccines cause autism. However it's possible there is a correlation.

@Citizen Z Medical science says vaccines definitely do not cause autism. Again, ad-hoc reasoning.

The onset of symptoms of autism is around the same time vaccines are given. That's all

Autism is from birth

@vazorium ok. Your opinion based off a belief. See how that works...

It's like trying to say going to hospitals makes you sick

You didn't go to the hospital and then got sick. You were sick prior to going

@Citizen Z my "opinion" on the matter of the shape of the Earth is based on facts as stated by experts, something you are willing to do, blindly, for the anomy of the eye. if the former can be dismissed because of allegations of conspiracy, why is there no suspicion of conspiracy when it comes to human anatomy?

@vazorium appeal to authority

Not an argument

There's definitely medical conspiracies but this ain't one

@Citizen Z Appeal to authority is a valid argument, and something you will use in regards to the anatomy of the eye. Also, prove Appeal to Authority is a fallacy.
