It’s sad not everyone is born with good common sense and ability to obtain knowledge

It's true.

If you live in the dark your whole life, you are blind to the possibilities.

People say curiosity killed the cat but I believe it saved it

Interesting perspective.

If people didn’t investigate certain matters, we could of easily have been wiped out

If the nomads didn’t observe a plant growing from a seed, domestication would of never happened, we need curiosity to advance and prosper

Exactly.

And big science can result in us losing that very curiosity. Because it no longer falls on us to discover new things, people are just like "well, science will figure it out."

Back then, people identified a problem and attempted to fix it themselves.

Perfectly said, I don’t want someone to tell me how something is, I want to find it out for myself

^

All scientific papers contain methodology.

I see a lot of cherrypicked images there.

It's true though

Once again we both are unsure about the exact size of the earth and the forces controlling it so we can’t say why we don’t see a curve because if it is big enough there would be no visible curve

I’m sure you’ve heard of the Cavendish Experiment and other things, right?

Curvature is only ever in pictures you can't take yourself.

Even that had a methodology written and recorded

And yes, that is correct @Batcon

Says you.

Btw I have a bad habit of leaving things so if I ever gotta go without a response I swear it’s not because I’m intentionally ditching y’all

College life n all that

They say you can see ships and buildings sink into the horizon, then suddenly they start saying that you can't see the curvature because you need to be in some impossible to reach place.

And yeah I get that.

Well the reason it is impossible is because the distrust of scientists and our lack of money, training and education to get on a trip to there

You can see them disappear. There’s two ways.
1) The whole object gets proportionally smaller relative to the field of view, and
2) Curvature takes away the bottom portion from the field of view first

What’s the term? Angular size? Idk it’s been a while

This is a conversation for debate

Ew debate, yeah I’ll probably not go on there when I’m procrastinating a paper lmao

I’m doing the same thing currently

Except it’s a dbq

@RadRhys optical slant

The eye has an angular resolution limit of .02 degrees

I got a paper on agency

Once the limit is reached, the light is unresolvable

Still there but cant see it

I got a dbq on the debate over the national bank of the United States

The shallow angle of light coming from the object to your eye will disappear first

Followed by the steeper angle

The bottom of the boat or mountain or building is the shallow angle
