'' hurr durr earth is not inside a glass of water '' he forgot about atmospheric refraction and water evaporation by the sea
lol
youre all inside a glass of water that i am drinking, fair thee well travellers
@FatBeat no personal attacks nor remarks like that please
😱 not a glass of water
lol
'make the image look more dodgy' is not a valid way to explain the phenomenon we observe. Also, I just explained to you, really clearly, that your claim doesn't match what is said in the wikipedia article...the article explains how refraction affects objects in the distance. This perfectly explains why the lighthouse is hidden by the water, and is a proof for a spherical earth.
The cats will knock it over lol
lol
lol
I guess this is over then?
lee theres a way to stop cats from knocking things off of surfaces
None
Make cats actually care about their owners
It's not proof of convexity no
get a box for them
I can't, you win. '' Because it's affected by atmospheric refraction and it doesn't look like where it truly is it means that the earth is spherical! ''
You...just missed everything that I've been getting to...
that light house is very far away
cats will knock it over
atmospheric refraction would have a definite effect on it.
🥛 🐈
lol
Lol
🐖 💨
That is not what my proof is. I was defending the fact that the image I showed demonstrates visible curvature of the earth. You denied that and said it was caused by atmospheric refraction. I explained, that while the lighthouse is affected by atmospheric refraction, atmospheric refraction does not cause the lighthouse on a supposed non-spherical surface to appear the way it does in the picture.
Makes you see curves Nd makes your hair go curly too
As per, exactly what the article you linked implies.
''atmospheric refraction does not cause the lighthouse on a supposed non-spherical surface to appear the way it does in the picture.'' that's litteraly what atmospheric refraction does LOL
You also do understand that the phenomenon we are talking about are on wikipedia because it fits in perfectly with the globe earth theory you distrust, correct?
That might've been a poor choice of words...You get what I'm saying, though. That image is not possible on a flat earth.
yes also you used ''Astronomical or celestial refraction causes astronomical objects to appear higher above the horizon than they actually are. Terrestrial refraction usually causes terrestrial objects to appear higher than they actually are, although in the afternoon when the air near the ground is heated, the rays can curve upward making objects appear lower than they actually are'' Did you even read the beggening? The lighthouse is nor astronomical nor celestial
"Terrestrial refraction usually causes terrestrial objects to appear higher than they actually are"
You used that as proof that for globe earth
You're nitpicking now. That is not my main point. When I said it's proof, I meant that atmospheric refraction accounting for objects that should be hidden behind the curve appearing is a valid proof - that's another topic, though.
'' although in the afternoon when the air near the ground is heated, the rays can curve upward making objects appear lower than they actually are '' sea evaporation
