first one of which was talking about glass
second of which didn't specify the material
`c. Creep. The change in dimension of a material under load over a period of time, not
including the initial instantaneous elastic deformation. The time dependent part of strain
resulting from an applied stress.`
we can safely assume that isn't glass though
for the fact that glass shatters
Where is the link for that source
hold on
I think I still have that tab open
page 2, section 4
Of what?
the pdf I linked to with the quote above
Your moving the goal post and it's driving me nuts
which goal post have I moved?
I had to prove their was no non linear deformation of the light
Now I have to prove that under static stress
If the deformation was enough to cause a sigficant and acknowledgable deformation to the light you would have died flying the airplane
I wouldn't say that was moving the goal posts tbh. there's the issue of the shape of the windows but additionally there's the stresses involved with the changes of internal air pressure to compensate for the changes to the external air pressure. it's not moving goal posts so much as the fact that there's other factors which need to be included
The other factors are negligible
And are therefore ignored
the document cited mentions the stresses as well as the myriad materials selected for the inclusion within the aircraft. but you do need to show proof of this neglibility
Yours
as well as the proof to your claim that it doesn't cause distortion
I told you a simple experiment you could peform
That is proof
it has been said by others, possibly yourself, that curvature has been witnessed through aircraft windows, so, we need to establish whether that's as a result of these windows or as a result of actual earth curvature
your simple experiment uses the wrong materials and that wouldn't be very scientific
I was debating laws of optics
sure, but in any case, you haven't substantiated that
nor have you disproved that the curvature witnessed isn't the result of these windows
The light going through the window experiences a linear deformation
so you keep saying
without substantiating
You know what a linear transformation deformation is right?
Right?
Just send all flat earthers to space to prove it once and for all
it's where light passes through, it's transformed then deformed and presumably should result in lack of distortion
@positivity globe believers are the ones that believe space is real! send them all up there to prove the globe
Exactly
Therefore
No distortion
