Fair enough

This guy was a globe earther im pretty sure but knew how optics worked
Hold on bud I'm not finished yet
You have to debunk james gibson
So we would have something like this?
Not me
With 15840 feet equal to three miles
And the eye level of the observer at 6 ft
I dunno what you are trying to work out
Observer 5 feet
Fine I'll change it
Observer 5 feet. 15000 feet..5 feet gone
Ok but this is the information that was given, yea?
Thats with 20/20 vision
🤔
The object would be gone from view at three miles away
We good so far?
Thats what it seems to be when tested at the beach
At about 3 miles 5 foot objects are gone
K keep goin. Dont forget to read James gibson
Gnite
Ok just a sec I'm doing the math
Tired nite
This is what the angle would be using the height of the observer and the distance of three miles
Which part ?
1 inch off the ground or 5 feet up?
6 feet?
I'm tired gotta goto sleep
The angle that was labeled in the last pic
Ugh whatever ok
What height did you use?
This is the distance the object would disappear using 0.02 as the angle and 6ft as the height of the observer
I used 6 ft for both
Feel free to check the math
It's simple geometry
Cool.thanks ill look at it
