But changes them in the northern and Southern Hemispheres
Have any of you ever seen a ship sail off into the sea?
is the earth convex or something? how is it that you see the backs of the ships disappear first? as if its going downward?
As far as I can tell they just claim that’s not true
i've seen it happen. i sailed from florida to mexico
Apparently it goes away in a telescope
im talking about the naked human eye
Which is interesting because there is not really any evidence to back that up, and I’m guessing most of the people who say that ha e never tried it
No apparently it coming back in a telescope proves the earth is flat
either that is so scientifically complicated that i cannot understand it, or, its just to dang dumb.
so the WARPED image from the telescope and ONLY when its coming BACK when its going the complete OPPOSITE direction proves it.
who comes up with this stuff?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

America isn’t real
agreed
Nope nothing about American History is valid.

Optical slant
If you are closer to the bottom of an object, it will disappear first as the object or you move further away
The angle is more shallow the closer you are to the bottom
As you move away further from a mountain, the angle between you and the bottom of the mountain is more shallow,.therefore the angular resolution of the eye or lens will decrease faster than the angle between you and the top of the mountain
Once the angular resolution hits a certain degree, the eye or lens will stop resolving that part
That part will turn into a line
The horizon
That line is the ground infront of you starting to blend with the background
On the ocean, the surface of water and bottom of boat will start to blend together first before the top of the boat and the sky
The sky is on a steeper angle than the water
We see the flat earth. Pathagrams theory is enough to compute the curve we should see. But it is not there.
Say that triangle top angle were the center of the earth. B is the radius and a the distance. Thus C would be the radius plus the supposed curve.
When you do the math you confirm. Multiply 0.666 times the distance squared. That gives the curve you should see.
It works up to around 300 miles.
A squared plus b squared should equal c squared
But it doesnt
This is in feet. Use 8 instead of 0.666 for inches.
Not on earth
Square b the radius. Square a the distance. Add together. Take the square root and then subtract the radius and then multiply to get the feet of the curve.
Because it will give you the curve in miles.
