The top of that image shows two points of light
Thr bottom shows the two points merged
then why don't we see this?
Its how angular resolution in the eye works
We do. Its just unresolvable
Now stretch the hallway 3 miles
we see this though
I cant show you something thats become unresolvable
Thats the problem ppl have
of course. That's not unresolved though, that's half blocked.
If i could show you something thats unresolvable then it would be resolvable not unresolvable
Kevin said it was refraction, but you say it's perspective?
Its angular resolution and gradiant slope
shouldn't the sails be unresolvable too?
Optical slant
and, this is a zoomed image btw
No because they are farther away from you
2 metres further than the hull
Yes
this is an image from a camera though
might i say ...
"ocean swell" is a real thing, too
..even on lakes, too, but yeah
_Swell waves often have a long wavelength, but this varies due to the size, strength and duration of the weather system responsible for the swell and the size of the water body_

Cameras work the same as the eye
@✧Mike Flatbird (Mike Blackbird)✧ Thank you, that is the only other reasonable answer I have got
They just capture more light
?
k
The focal length is decreased
crap I mean fov
The angles still the same
not focal length
you can see al lthe waves on that water before the ship happens
Once the light is blurred...its blurred
this is how zoom works
you're capturing light from a smaller angle
the focal length is increased, the field of view is decreased
as you look thru too much atmosphere your view will be stopped
