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

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
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
Observer 5 feet. 15000 feet..5 feet gone
