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
@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?
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.
Why are some scientists' claims valid and others 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.
