Oh lord

2018-12-27 06:49:32 UTC  

See the building you are closer to becomes less reasolvable than the building further away

2018-12-27 06:49:54 UTC  

Satan never could understand optics

2018-12-27 06:49:58 UTC

2018-12-27 06:50:53 UTC  

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

2018-12-27 06:53:29 UTC  

5 ft at about 15000 feet

2018-12-27 06:54:12 UTC  

Which means you lose objects at 5ft tall at about 3 miles

2018-12-27 06:54:49 UTC  

K cya

2018-12-27 07:09:29 UTC  

Why do we never use binoculars or telescopes to spot the object when it gets away

2018-12-27 07:16:25 UTC  

You can go try it

2018-12-27 07:16:32 UTC  
2018-12-27 07:17:49 UTC  

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

2018-12-27 07:19:15 UTC  

5 foot tall object will be mostly gone with human eye at around 3 mile

2018-12-27 07:19:34 UTC  

Okay

2018-12-27 07:19:55 UTC  

And it doesn't need to obstructed by anything? Our vision just reaches it limit?

2018-12-27 07:21:05 UTC  

Our vision has a limit yes

2018-12-27 07:21:33 UTC  

Globe model says its earth obstructing

2018-12-27 07:21:43 UTC  

Flat model says its our vision and the way light works

2018-12-27 07:21:50 UTC  

Ok

2018-12-27 07:21:54 UTC  

Cameras work the same as our eyes

2018-12-27 07:22:01 UTC  

They have limits also

2018-12-27 07:26:30 UTC  

The further an object (i.e. boat, building mountain) gets away from the lens, the angular separation will continue to close until the light blurs together and eventually becomes a line or point or edge"

2018-12-27 07:26:55 UTC  

Eventually the points of light all merge and appear as just a line on the horizon

2018-12-27 08:30:28 UTC  

I'm back

2018-12-27 08:30:43 UTC  

One more clarification hun

2018-12-27 08:31:09 UTC  

Yes?

2018-12-27 08:31:38 UTC  

By 0.02 degrees you mean the difference in angle between the top of the object and the surface of the sea, right?

2018-12-27 08:32:16 UTC  

I mean the angle at which the photons are traveling to the eye

2018-12-27 08:33:09 UTC  

So you look at your feet then look to horizon ehatever you dont see is because of that angle of light

2018-12-27 08:34:16 UTC  

Yeah but the eye can't differentiate between photons that hit at an angle that is has less than 0.02 degrees of difference?

2018-12-27 08:34:42 UTC  

That's why things merge together?

2018-12-27 08:34:49 UTC  

No if its at .02 degrees then the eye has lost it

2018-12-27 08:35:03 UTC  

What

2018-12-27 08:35:12 UTC  

Little rods and cones in the back of the eye

2018-12-27 08:35:32 UTC  

Cant see anything at the resolution

2018-12-27 08:35:49 UTC  

I'm not following
