Yes

2018-09-22 12:12:21 UTC  

What does that mean in this context

2018-09-22 12:12:24 UTC  

I might've missed it

and if you zoom and and watch that go over the horizon, you can get a more powerful camera, cellphone, binoculars, and telescope to go beyond that, and show that yet, it still hasn't gone over the horizon, its on flat earth where its still visible with a mor powerful zoom.

2018-09-22 12:13:08 UTC  

See how you can see more of the top of the hallway

2018-09-22 12:13:20 UTC  

Cuz you are closer to the bottom

2018-09-22 12:13:23 UTC  

Yes, Z?

2018-09-22 12:13:24 UTC  

Oh, yeah

2018-09-22 12:13:28 UTC  

yeah I understand that

2018-09-22 12:13:30 UTC  

The angle becomes more shallow

2018-09-22 12:13:34 UTC  

Quicker

2018-09-22 12:13:40 UTC  

Lemme do a quick drawing

2018-09-22 12:13:48 UTC  

And the light begins to blend

2018-09-22 12:13:49 UTC  

eventually there will be too much atmosphere and you won't beable to keep zooming in

2018-09-22 12:14:06 UTC  

Think of the objects or in this case the hallway The Arches not as objects but as millions and millions quadrillions of points of light

2018-09-22 12:14:18 UTC  

Photons if you wish

2018-09-22 12:14:38 UTC  

perspective

2018-09-22 12:14:48 UTC  

These photons are all coming to your eye at different angles

2018-09-22 12:15:17 UTC  

The more shallow the angle, the more the light will blur together

2018-09-22 12:15:26 UTC  

so you and me are on the same page Citizen

2018-09-22 12:15:57 UTC  

The top of that image shows two points of light

2018-09-22 12:16:07 UTC  

Thr bottom shows the two points merged

2018-09-22 12:16:26 UTC

2018-09-22 12:16:27 UTC  

then why don't we see this?

2018-09-22 12:16:28 UTC  

Its how angular resolution in the eye works

2018-09-22 12:16:49 UTC  

We do. Its just unresolvable

2018-09-22 12:17:01 UTC  

Now stretch the hallway 3 miles

2018-09-22 12:17:16 UTC  

we see this though

2018-09-22 12:17:16 UTC  

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/484515890759729182/493033039664906240/testthing2.png

2018-09-22 12:17:34 UTC  

I cant show you something thats become unresolvable

2018-09-22 12:17:44 UTC  

Thats the problem ppl have

2018-09-22 12:17:57 UTC  

of course. That's not unresolved though, that's half blocked.

2018-09-22 12:18:31 UTC  

If i could show you something thats unresolvable then it would be resolvable not unresolvable

2018-09-22 12:18:34 UTC  

Kevin said it was refraction, but you say it's perspective?

2018-09-22 12:18:55 UTC  

Its angular resolution and gradiant slope

2018-09-22 12:18:59 UTC  

shouldn't the sails be unresolvable too?

2018-09-22 12:19:02 UTC  

Optical slant

2018-09-22 12:19:10 UTC  

and, this is a zoomed image btw
