Thats what this exercise is
have you ever been in a car?
You don't experience a flat earth, you assume it.
You experience a locally relatively flat earth in short distances
saying the globe theory is too small to observe doesn't change the fact that we don't observe it
Is the car moving? Is it doing donuts around a track? Is my head put the window?
i mean going straight
for long distances
preferrably
Yup
have you noticed things far off in the distance you couldn't see before come into view?
because there are hills and buildings
Thats because all objects at sharp angles form into a horizon and the angle between the top and bottom of objects are not the same
Then you have obtical effects and other factors
that sounds similar, hills and buildings are larger in angle when close up
and yeah
have you noticed that objects far away near the horizon become much lower from the horizon when you get close to it?
it's not very noticeable, it supposedly happens
but there must be refraction whether it's flat or globe
going pretty straight
you can see that objects in the horizon get closer
Refraction tends to bend down unless there are heat waves or humidity that can cause heavy miraging
what causes the refraction?
dielectric responses in materials/air
The standard refraction model basically mimics angular resolution
is the sun above or inside the atmosphere?
What causes refraction? A change in medium
from which medium to which medium?
it can be a continuously changing medium
Atmospheric particles bend the light similar to .. a process of drag
Sometimes the heat and wind can lift the image and wobble it
Hmmm 🤔
Kind like how a paper bag moves in the wind
Angular size and refraction can be entirely separated as two different concepts
i don't think refraction can explain how much the horizon moves
refraction has a limit on how much the light will bend
we are saying they're separate albert
I agree, thats why i dont believe in the globe
The horizon is a property of a perspective matrix closing into a vanishing point combined with minor refraction
