I'm just modeling the hallway myself

2018-09-22 13:58:02 UTC  

the program simulates light itself

2018-09-22 13:58:50 UTC  

Well, maybe one of you can just edit the zoomed in image to show what should be seen, according to you?

2018-09-22 13:59:00 UTC  

you can only see roughly 3 miles thru the atmosphere before the ship will disappear, unless its under the right conditions to let you see wht the naked eye further like rarely you can see the chicago skyline

2018-09-22 13:59:45 UTC  

humans don't have the ability to see far distances normally

2018-09-22 13:59:53 UTC  

we do

2018-09-22 13:59:56 UTC  

can only see a few miles over water

2018-09-22 14:00:07 UTC  

we can see something infinitely far away (theoretically) if it is bright enough

2018-09-22 14:00:08 UTC  

I was on a boat and looking at stuff thru my cellphone

2018-09-22 14:00:19 UTC  

I have done the test where ships go over the horizon and then I zoom them in

2018-09-22 14:00:53 UTC  

nope

2018-09-22 14:01:02 UTC  

stars aren't that far away either

2018-09-22 14:01:05 UTC  

It's biological fact

2018-09-22 14:01:09 UTC  

nope

2018-09-22 14:01:11 UTC  

that we can see anything if it's bright enough

2018-09-22 14:01:12 UTC  

oh?

2018-09-22 14:01:27 UTC  

its a scientific fact that light difuses thru atmosphere

2018-09-22 14:01:47 UTC  

every mile you lose twice as much light

2018-09-22 14:01:57 UTC  

oh, diffusion

2018-09-22 14:01:58 UTC  

okay

2018-09-22 14:01:58 UTC  

@Citizen Z I'm a bit confused as to how you think light works, so as you've just requested I've just written a quick simulation to model how light works, of two gaussian beams showing what I think you're saying.

Is this how you think two beams of light passing over each other would look, so that when they're ontop of each other you cannot resolve anything about them? i.e. 2 points of light ontop of each other look exactly the same as a single bright point of light?

2018-09-22 14:02:01 UTC  

you go far enough away you won't even see car headlights because of diffusion

2018-09-22 14:02:30 UTC  

on a clear night you could

2018-09-22 14:02:40 UTC  

stars are closer than what they say

2018-09-22 14:02:43 UTC  

just like the sun is

2018-09-22 14:02:43 UTC  

nope

2018-09-22 14:02:48 UTC  

Can we stick to the hallway

2018-09-22 14:03:07 UTC  

you are going to be in the hallways clueless for life

2018-09-22 14:03:15 UTC  

I don't mind tbh

2018-09-22 14:03:16 UTC  

you need to do real tests and look at videos, not model

2018-09-22 14:03:34 UTC  

actually look at the facts, not be an ostrich

2018-09-22 14:03:52 UTC  

I need some evidence to think things are facts

2018-09-22 14:04:14 UTC  

All the evidence I've seen shows that on a flat plane, unless you're very close to the plane, then it won't obstruct anything

2018-09-22 14:04:56 UTC  

ur on a flat unmoving plane right now

2018-09-22 14:04:57 UTC  

I can do the table experiment right now if you want

2018-09-22 14:05:18 UTC  

different times, different heights

2018-09-22 14:05:26 UTC  

because of limited human eye sight, we can only see so far

2018-09-22 14:05:40 UTC  

Do you want me to do the table experiment?

2018-09-22 14:05:47 UTC  

and because of optics and perspective, the further you get out the smaller stuff gets

2018-09-22 14:05:49 UTC  

but instead have the camera sliiightly above the plane?

2018-09-22 14:05:49 UTC  

isn't that obvious?
