Why is gravity formally known as "Newton's LAW of universal gravitation"?
Let that sink in.

wait, are you for, or against the reality of gravity?

It is a law of nature

Yes
Perspective
There is no visible curvature at high heights unless you are looking at things like NASA or redbull.
Optical slant. @روح ادریس

"We can see the curvature of the Earth but we came up with this other explanation that makes less sense so let's go with that." @Citizen Z

@vazorium who sees it?

also are you a geologist?

@vazorium are you a curvature scientist?

Who sees the curve?

Name one person not related to government that sees the curve

ancient sailors for one

like if you're going across an ocean you can literally see it. this has been documented for centuries

They never saw a curve

okay they were all government spies who time traveled to fool us in the modern age

Its called optical slant. It looks as if something is disappearing from the bottom up, but its just the way light and the eye or lenses works

Seeing something disappear is not seeing a curve

sure, buddy, go with the explanation that makes less sense

The angular resolution of the eye is .02 degrees

It doesn't make less sense. Look into it

"The angular resolution of the eye is .02 degrees" how would you know this?

I dare ya.

nah I'll prove how it makes less sense. how would you know this "The angular resolution of the eye is .02 degrees"

Yiu are not seeing a curve. You are just losing resolved light

If the angular resolution is 0.02 degrees, which it approximately is, then we should literally see over 10,000 miles from a commercial flight by known phenomenon of optical slant.
Of course, we don't, because earth curve.

Huh

Where did you get that info?

Ever hear of visibility?

You can do the calculations by assuming a flat plane and a 0.02 degree resolution

K show me the calculations.

Alright, just a second...

Then realize there is something called visibility.

WHAT CAUSES GREAT VISIBILITY?

You forgot about that

Plus, we do see further when up higher.

Waiting for your calculations

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
