the formula you posted and the one steve used are equivalent]

Guys sheeple has a 2 TB files on this YOU AINT GUNNA WIN THIS ARGUMENT

but what if the universe is the neural network of God

It is a right angle we look out at. The curvature is C in that equation. A and B are at right angles.

You should also take into factor the elevation in which you are measuring,

ether as a fluid

The earth isn’t a uniformly smooth sphere

@Human Sheeple

Elevation makes no difference looking across a lake. Same on both sides of it.

what if Earth is God's pineal gland

Lol

@thing well your equation doesn't take that into account either

you guys gave the same equation

I know, that’s why there is more to be done then just simple math

I guess it does not but it would be a tiny percentage of an inch difference.

Take the atmosphere into account as well

Air pollution

All of the sort

refraction would be the only thing

and they do account for refraction :p

No they don’t.

i can't verify whether they did it accurately, but they do at least

They usually do basic math without accounting for refraction

I have no clue how you could figure out the exact distance from the center of the earth to get that formula to work with absolute perfection. Why you would care to do so. Wow I might be 0.001 inches off.

i'm just saying what they have done, idk what people usually do

No, you could be tens of feet off. You are doing simple math which isn’t account for the atmosphere

if the atmosphere can curve light around the earth in the globe model also

then it seems ok to say it makes the sun set on FE

Refraction is just a fancy word for mirage. They are more or less the same. Like a mirage refraction is far far less than perfect. You get a wavy image with refraction not a clear perfect image.

The atmosphere does tamper and bend light

the firmament

it does

but we're saying it bends light just so that it can curve around the earth

Not just wavy, there are reasons why scientists must take refraction into account

What is up in the firmament is what allows sunset and sundown. What it is like up there no one knows.

With your equation you are basically looking for curvature on a planet without an atmosphere

it's up for debate what the atmosphere does pretty much

No. I just understand what refraction and mirages are. If i see that well I understand my vision is obstructed.

the globe says it should curve down and FE says it should curve up

It isn’t really up for debate, there are countless research documents on refraction that all have metric data

If I see a lake in the desert I understand it is most likely just a mirage.
