i put a video up. im done talking till you watch it and get my point of view.

good day.

I see that there's a sign, but I can't make out what it says until I put my glasses on

I will post text

i do like numbers

For you to read

citizen, you believe the earth is flat right?

Then I'm done till you see whats going on

if you were on a hill and someone lit a candle 50 kms away

would you be able to see it

well, no

your own source says no

it does

"you can even see a candle flame flickering up to 30 mi. (48 km) away"

BuT GOOGle Is CoNtRoLED B Y GOVERNMENT

kek

well, your own source only says to 48 km 😹

yes

what is 48 rounded up

also there is this

```
On a clear night, you can see the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye, which is 2.25 million light years away.
```

You want info?

BuT SpAcE Is FaKe

@Papi Perro that angle is steep not shallow

Do you want info?

Are you willing to look at anything?

where did you get your info

if it's an article then I'll read it

I just can't do videos

Scientific books and studies

how can you trust them then?

Use your brain and have discernment?

If science isn’t real your point is invalid.

ok so

This is how angular resolution works physically in the eye.

Cameras work the same way.
The cones of the retina is a zoom in of the eye. If the angular size of the target is not enough to activate more than a single cones/sensor the object is unresolvable.
There are 3 ways to decrease angular separation.
1. Move the two separate targets further or closer together.
2.Increase the distance.
3. Change the angle of view.

First here is a demonstration of how angle of view changes the angular separation of 2 targets. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/459806914331541504/unknown.png

For example in this image, as the stop sign's angular size shrinks from distance or angle, the image that prjected onto the retina also shrinks. Eventually it will reach such as small size the eye can not physically detect the light. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/379214321907007488/459808085436006410/refraction_cornea.png
A geometric analogy would be closing a pair of scissors. When the scissor tips are closer together than the spacing between the rods and cones of the eye then you get to see the target. The point where the tips cross from too close to normal vision is the angular resolution.

When the angle of view becomes to much it pretty much goes parallel, but you lose sight of the ground before that. It's the same on the globe too but even worse because the angle of view is increasing quicker because of the curving away of the ball surface.

These next images show someone how the angle stays the same but the area that you are actually observing increases. You can see the 5th image how the bottom of a building would disappear.

They are using this stuff for self-driving cars. To automate the driving they have to turn the perspective view into an orthographic top down view.

The soure of that image.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/0/20937803

Even though the title is BS. No one sees further. You ONLY capture more light.

This is how they build telescopes, to capture light.
Large telescope are reflectors. The larger convex lens gets the more distortion. So they made this. It all works the same generally speaking. A telescope will only help so much. It depends on the light collecting ability that is determined by the diameter of the lens. Some of these aren't built yet...

They are making the lens bigger not building 15 mile long telescopes.

Here is a demonstration of angular resultion effects with an eye charts 1D is distance from chart 2D is 2 time the distance etc...

"As he looks downward toward his feet the slant approaches zero, as he looks upward the slant increases, as the center of ckesr vision approaches the horizon the slant becomes maximal, and at the horizon itself the land ceases to be a surface and becomes an edge."
