it depends on the angle the light is coming to your retina

Do you think earth is round or flat?

2019-02-07 19:41:33 UTC  

light goes into eye and into your optic nerve

2019-02-07 19:41:37 UTC  

if the angle becomes as shallow as .02 degrees, the light is unresolvable

2019-02-07 19:41:42 UTC  

causing the wonderful thing known as sight

2019-02-07 19:41:49 UTC  

plus you have atmosphere

2019-02-07 19:41:49 UTC  

Teith?

2019-02-07 19:41:56 UTC  

I think the earth is round

2019-02-07 19:42:02 UTC  

Ok

2019-02-07 19:42:04 UTC  

there is priolly 5 storms between you and the tallest mountain

2019-02-07 19:42:13 UTC  

plus angular resolution

2019-02-07 19:42:33 UTC  

lmao a really bad storm just went over us yesterday actually

2019-02-07 19:42:34 UTC  

if you can debunk angular resolution let me know

2019-02-07 19:42:41 UTC  

wdym angular resolution

2019-02-07 19:42:48 UTC  

look it up

2019-02-07 19:42:49 UTC  

tallest, highest, or furthest from the center of the earth Z :^)

2019-02-07 19:42:50 UTC  

as long as there are no obstructions, you can see

2019-02-07 19:42:56 UTC  

wrong

2019-02-07 19:43:12 UTC  

things disappear bottom up depending on the angle of view

2019-02-07 19:43:21 UTC  

Teith is right

2019-02-07 19:43:28 UTC  

no teith is not right

2019-02-07 19:43:35 UTC  

light focuses into your lens then bounce around your eye things then go into your optical nerve

2019-02-07 19:43:41 UTC  

teith he is making the point that at far enough distances things dont reflex or emit enough lights for your eyes to distinguish them

2019-02-07 19:43:42 UTC  

you guys dont know how optics works

2019-02-07 19:43:56 UTC  

its known

2019-02-07 19:43:56 UTC  

no u

2019-02-07 19:43:58 UTC  

Hey citizen, can you show me that 1 flat earth image pls?

2019-02-07 19:44:01 UTC  

yes, there is light coming from them, just not enough light

2019-02-07 19:44:07 UTC  

as long as there is light

2019-02-07 19:44:09 UTC  

you can see it

2019-02-07 19:44:13 UTC  

no matter how far away you are

2019-02-07 19:44:22 UTC  

it may be hard to distinguish but you can see it

2019-02-07 19:44:26 UTC  

teith, that isnt true

2019-02-07 19:44:41 UTC  

light doesn't just stop moving like that

2019-02-07 19:44:45 UTC  

can you see a coin from a mile away?

2019-02-07 19:44:45 UTC  

if thr light gets to a degree of less than .02 the eye cant resolve it

2019-02-07 19:44:48 UTC  

yes

2019-02-07 19:44:50 UTC  

you can

2019-02-07 19:44:53 UTC  

ok, do it

2019-02-07 19:44:54 UTC  

no you cant
