Thats what we are talking about just human vision limits
Ok hun
The angle of light going into the retina
In the back of the eye
Yep

Would you care to explain how the sail of a sailboat does not become unresolvable gradually when aided by a telescope then
It does
Or maybe why it doesn't appear to sink when viewed by the naked eye
It does
It doesn't
Sure it does
It becomes unresolved to the naked eye before it becomes unresolved with a telescope
It appears to sink and even starts blending with the sky
Telescope brings it back into view
If your theory was correct you would be able to see it vanish behind the horizon once with the naked eye then again while using a telescope
You do
You don't
Go watch a boat then use binoculars
I will
Let me know what you get
But if I don't see it sink twice you're gonna have to explain that to me
Ok
Nite

Looks like it was 17000 feet not 299 feet
Okay so three things:
1. That's not a right triangle, it's isosceles. The formula depends on it being a right triangle. With an isosceles triangle the sides could be literally any length. That's why you're getting the exact same distance you put in.
2. You're using a different input. The height and angle are still the same, but you're using 17,188 feet instead of the agreed upon 15,840 feet.
3. My math with the 300 ft only used the height of the observer and the angle of 0.02 to find the distance at which the angle would be 0.02. It didn't use the three mile distance at all.
15k feet for 5 feet not 6
I never said 15840 feet
I said about 3 miles
Either way your math is obviously wrong
It doesn't work that way
Mr Z isnt good at maths it seems
Its to bad globies are stupid
