where is it coming from

what is its name

and how did you derive it

Atmospheric refraction

look up the term “standard atmospheric refraction” and don’t waste time in a discussion you’re not qualified to have. i already know you don’t have an experiment, i just wanted to see how long you’d stroke your egos

apparently for hours

It's an approximation on the perceived effects of refraction on earths apparent curvature.

I gave you a bunch of tries so it seems like you're not up for a semi-serious debate

i'm heading off now

If I had a dollar for every ego comment I could buy lunch

you’ll write essays about how you’ve won a debate but never prove the assertion. as far as I’m concerned, finish your thesis. get the last word. find your climax so you can sleep at night. goodbye

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height.

alright gn

@Morning Dew lol

I like your ad homs

They're pretty unique

Found your source: https://www.metabunk.org/standard-atmospheric-refraction-empirical-evidence-and-derivation.t8703/

1.) No idea if it's reliable
2.) No idea if author is qualified
3.) No way to check if it is right

I'm off to bed

"...This assumption is made so often that it's conventional in surveying and geodesy to use a “refraction constant” that's just the ratio of the two curvatures. A typical value of the ratio is about 1/7; that is, the ray curves about 1/7 as much as the Earth does"

is what san diego state u claims at least https://aty.sdsu.edu/explain/atmos_refr/horizon.html

Hello! My daughter is pushing me to research flat earth. Can someone explain to me this theory?

i'm not a great explainer o: someone else can better

Alright, thank you though! Is there anyone in particular who could explain?

there are actually a lot more members on here during the day

a lot of them just went to bed

Alright, I must be in a different time zone than all of you. I’ll check in later, thank you!

sorry i couldn't help tonight but good luck!

Hello

@Research_Flat_Earth my other account ; )

https://discord.gift/9v2natBXRwrYkRtM

Someone claimed it

Hello @Innovation

Lmao
You can’t hide from us Innovation

And you’re are welcome with the invite I guess

Why you no talk to us @Innovation 😭

He gave up

wasnt that a legit flat earth server before

not full with globe goons and idiots?

It is a debate server

So of course there will be people from both sides
