i can't see pixels of my monitor but i can see the image and text onit
how is that
the spacing between pixels is unresolvable they should disappear bottom up
b/c one pixel is so close to the other

How angular resolution works:

The further an object (i.e. boat, building mountain) gets away from the lens, the angular separation will continue to close until the light blurs together and eventually becomes a line or point or edge"

"As he looks downward toward his feet the slant approaches zero, as he looks upward the slant increases, as the center of clear vision approaches the horizon the slant becomes maximal, and at the horizon itself the land ceases to be a surface and becomes an edge"

As you look down the right side of the hallway, you'll see the angular separation of light begins to close the further you look. Then looking at the left side of the hallway you'll notice the angular separation of light does not close or blur as quickly as the right side.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself. Where is the plane of the eye? What is the relative angle between the surface of target and the plane of the eye? Given that angle , what is the angular separation of the points of light on that target?

Notice the blue cones angle compared to the orange cone. The blue cones angle will lose the light first on the bottom and the ground will start to blur with the object but if you raise in height the resolution will increase shown with the orange cone because the angle of light hitting the retina or camera is made larger. Once the angle becomes too shallow the light turns into a line or Edge. Think of buildings or boats or mountains not as objects but as quadrillions of points of light or photons coming to your retina at different angles and some will become non-resolvable before others. The ones closest to you disappear first as you back away. You will see the ground running up to the horizon then see the horizon as a line and will see things like the sky still or if there's a mountain or building you will still see the top parts but eventually those will also become unresolvable as they get further away and the angle changes.
Omfg
Thats huge

@Citizen Z So, your point is.....?
Im sorry if you cant understand yet..takes a while to throw your programming out the window and actually learn something new
Im asking
What do you want to prove
And if im not getting muted for this, you didnt let me explain something new
You really ought to listen.
See the angle decreasing?
@Derek Nelson I try
The lighy will eventually become unresolvable
But sometimes it debunks alone
Anyways gtg
Have a gnite
Not now, but I dont even know what hes trying to prove
That you cant see the curve?
There is no curve
Here we go again
Someone else really thinks that looking trought the window will see a curve? Earth isnt that small
Well in comparision to other planets is small
But itself is huge
The earth is said to be 24,901 miles in circumference. When we can see 1,200 miles through one window on an airplane. There is a BIG problem.
Youre stating earth is 12 times what we see from an aeroplane
I mean 24
Looking trought an aeroplane window wont let me see the next country
In that video, the guy is flying over Missouri. He can see all the way to Hudson Bay.
