Right so if you put a boat going down the hallway...you would lose the portion you are closest to first
It would need to be a very long hallway
Miles and miles
Hmm ok
How does the sail disappear so fast then
Wouldn't it have to travel much further to disappear?
The sail disapears last cuz its further away from you
Ok
Imagine the sail isnt a sail
Its billions and trillions of points of light
Trillions of photons coming to your eye
Those photons are on a steeper angle than the hull compared to your position on the beach
The sail is higher up
Steeper angle
Will be resolvable longer
See how the light blends together on right side of hallway faster than left side
Cuz the camera is closer to right side
The angle is more shallow
But the hallway doesnt curve
Yet we lose the door frames and picture frames
Oh lord
See the building you are closer to becomes less reasolvable than the building further away
Satan never could understand optics
🤗
I'm gonna have to continue this in a bit I gotta get back to work
In the meantime what's the distance that is required for a ship to fully disappear relative to its height
5 ft at about 15000 feet
Which means you lose objects at 5ft tall at about 3 miles
K cya
Why do we never use binoculars or telescopes to spot the object when it gets away
You can go try it
Z what would you say the distance is when we see no further
Like at what distance the object disappears and our eyes reach vanishing point
5 foot tall object will be mostly gone with human eye at around 3 mile
Okay
And it doesn't need to obstructed by anything? Our vision just reaches it limit?
