So in this case C would be the top of the object and B would be the bottom of it, right?

Basically

Its the center of our vision

Ok

And if the angle BAC is less than 0.02 it's unresolvable, right?

B is the ocean and c is the bottom of the boat

Yes

If it hits .02 degrees then its gone

Ok I understand it now

So the further you get away from the object the more the angle will change

Mmhmm makes sense

Nite =)

Ok

I think I have what I need to disprove it now

You cant disprove it

Its the way it works

<:lul:484994724118134784>

Ok then let's do the math

The given information is two separate facts that you have given thus far

First, the angle between the top of the object and the bottom needs to be less than 0.02 degrees in order for it to be unresolvable

No it is .02 degrees

Second, objects disappear from view at a distance of three miles

I said objects 5 feet high disappear

That's fine

Equal or less than

A 6 foot man at 3 miles you would still see his head

Mmhmm

His legs and body would blend in with the horizon

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
