Think he wants an explanation from you

2019-08-15 02:31:19 UTC  

alright

2019-08-15 02:31:20 UTC  

With a source to back it up

2019-08-15 02:31:26 UTC  

lets begin

I have not seen it with my own eyes, and here is the reason: You should be able to detect it from an aeroplane at a cruising height of around 10,600 metres (35,000 feet), but you need a fairly wide field of view (ie 60 degrees) and a virtually cloud-free horizon.

2019-08-15 02:32:02 UTC  

I did not have a wide enough field of view

2019-08-15 02:32:15 UTC  

the plane window is rather small and restricts the field of view

2019-08-15 02:32:34 UTC  

what people usually mean by this is actually a misnomer, they are actually seeing their horizon curve around them and not the curvature of the Earth

2019-08-15 02:32:44 UTC  

What you see when you look at a sphere is a fraction of that sphere proportional to your height above it (h) and the radius of that sphere (R), the proportion you can see is given by (h/2/(h+R)). This boundry forms a circle which we call the horizon.

```HYMN TO "R"
Our Eratosthenes whose sticks measured the heavens,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy circumference come,
Thy radius be done,
On Earth as it measures in the heavens,
Give us this day our daily shadows,
And forgive us for assuming the distance to the sun,
To give us the globe.
R-men```

From just 200 meters elevation, on a 4000 pixel wide image at 94.4 degree field of view you should expect about 7 vertical pixels of rise out of the horizon circle

When providing evidence make sure you provide your own explaination and source to provide proof
EX: Water has three states solid liquid gas *paste source*

2019-08-15 02:34:00 UTC  

don't make hasty generalizations

2019-08-15 02:34:14 UTC  

They think they do because the window is fish eye lensed

2019-08-15 02:34:26 UTC  

That's like saying Satan isn't bad because other satanist say otherwise

2019-08-15 02:34:29 UTC  

In this form of faulty reasoning one's belief is rendered unfalsifiable because no matter how compelling the evidence is, one simply shifts the goalposts so that it wouldn't apply to a supposedly 'true' example. This kind of post-rationalization is a way of avoiding valid criticisms of one's argument.

2019-08-15 02:34:36 UTC  

You can't use someone else's claims to justify

2019-08-15 02:36:37 UTC  

keep this pyramid in mind

2019-08-15 02:37:27 UTC  

name calling isnt valid

2019-08-15 02:37:37 UTC  

sound something like "cause you're a child"
