Couldn’t tell you, I’m hardly in here. But it seems like a lot of people take it serious then a good majority don’t
Somebody brought up a good point
Somewhat powerful telescopes are easy to get, albeit very expensive
If you were to aim a telescope to a large land mass far away, you wouldn’t see anything do to curvature
this is something you could do with ease
This place is legit with real conspiracy theorist Izzle
@Edillon That's not due to curvature..
correct me if I’m wrong, but with a powerful enough telescope to see mainland, wouldn’t the vanishing point be past it?
From where to where ?
Purely hypothetical
Doesn’t matter which landmass to which
From where to where?
That doesn't help
You can't see Europe from the US
If that's what you mean
no
That’s way too far of course
Then from where to where?
I mean like Hyannis to Boston
Maybe
It would depend on a few factors such as Angular resolution, atmospheric lensing, diffraction, refraction, weather.
Things like this
right
would be hard to get a clear view
Simply put, there are too many observations that go beyond the curve for the curve to be the reason we don't see things on certain days. And a really easy way to use logic against the curve is that long distance photography is usually done when the weather is favorable and refraction is as low as possible. For things to loom up over the curve, you first need to demonstrate light bending down (but that's a separate issue), then you would need a large amount of refraction for to do what people say it's doing to come up over a ludicrous amount of curvature.
I guess not so simple 😅
For sure
completely understandable
Oh, good! 😋
Although I do happen to have a photograph that shows boats out at different distances
Man why do all the images you post have to be so low resolution
bruh
Tfw can’t post images and can’t get verified
Personally I believe it’s round
Thank you
