i feel so attacked

how could you use such harsh words

@rivenator12113 What flat earth model?

You mean the flat earth hypothesis?

@rivenator12113 no. This server welcomes everyone. If you are having a hard time with someone. Please let us know

@sub-zero sandbox good question

The sun is not 93 million miles away

The sun is much closer. Therefore its light doesnt travel across the entire flat plane at the same time

As the sun gets further away its light disappears

Light isnt infinite

Ever heard of olbers Paradox?

@Citizen Z But how does the sun illuminate EXACTLY 50% of the world at any given moment, and sometimes more with phenomena like midnight sun

It isnt exactly 50%

That makes sense for a sphere but it's difficult to imagine for a flat plane

Yes it is

That's what is observed

Oh really

Lol

Why is that object rising as it moves back?

With your refraction model the earth would be lit more than 50% at all times

To say it is not 50% is splitting hairs. It's very nearly 50%

So you should re look at that

The gif is an example of perspective and angular resolution

Objects close to the water

How they look as they get further from you

Like a boat

Or mountain

That object doesn't look natural

Ir building

In that gif

Its based off the angular resolution equation

Optics

Things disappear bottom up

Due to the angular resolution

The angle at which the light is coming to the eye or lens

How does it turn into a letter H from its original shape
