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?
@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
@Citizen Z what primary source would you trust and why?
So you disagree?
The angular resolution of the eye is not .02 degrees?
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
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.
