photos taken from an airplane, are taken through the windows which are curved to align with the shape of the fuselage (for aerodynamic purposes) so, the image taken through those windows is distorted and not proof of curvature
what
ok
im dead
lmao
hi
Hi
@CryptoCypher the angle of refraction of the window is very close to that of air, meaning that the distortion that you speak of negligible, and photos and views seen through it are deemed accurate
@catman prove it!
I’m not gonna get too deep into this Bc I have a game of EU4 to play, but the burden of proof lies on you, Cypher
You made the initial claim that these windows’ shapes distorts light
@Santa Phil *what happened?*
Crypto I'll admit I made a mistake in my explination
@CryptoCypher prove what its literally a fact
But when light passes from air to glass it refracts by 37 degrees , when it leaves it refracts back to it's original path
Although the glass is curved it is not a lense
Curved glass does not necessarily make a lens
Maybe you should research lense desing
hm
Cause if you do you will realize your claim is false
good point
my claim isn't false, if you're seeing curvature through a glass window of an aircraft, that right there is the proof. there is no curve
r u serious
im too tired for this
but the curve of a window is negligible, meaning that images can still be taken as true and accurate, like @catman said
Fredward that isn't the effect
and that's only one piece of observation evidence
sorry
i meant the distortion
*i think that's correct*
The curve is the same on both sides
The change of angle is constant
Meaning no distortion like you speak of
Think of water in a glass, the glass is curved. If you look at a straw in the water through the glass the straw is still straight
Or it is larger
right
yeah
Meaning that the glass causes a linear transformation to the image
