@Pit Droid if you hold the compass at a 45 degree angle, the arrow will move slightly up or down relatively to which side it's at a 45 degree and will be pointing at the north. how is this possible on a round earth? this can only work on a flat level earth where the north pole is on the same level of compass

2020-03-05 18:09:12 UTC  

they try so hard

2020-03-05 18:09:25 UTC  

but actually the trolling is increasing flat earther numbers

2020-03-05 18:09:41 UTC  

people are wondering why so much troll activity

2020-03-05 18:09:47 UTC  

Not a troll sadly

2020-03-05 18:09:53 UTC  

of course not

2020-03-05 18:09:56 UTC  

I assume 45 to the north?

2020-03-05 18:10:13 UTC  

As in +/- 45 degrees

2020-03-05 18:10:29 UTC  

no, like like holding it 45 degrees vertically

2020-03-05 18:11:07 UTC  

Ah ok, with you

2020-03-05 18:11:41 UTC  

Same reason as for a flat earth, the magnetic field is (roughly) parallel with the surface

2020-03-05 18:13:54 UTC  

isn't the magnetic field of the round earth on the north pole, wouldn't the arrow always be pointing a bit down for the curvature of earth?

2020-03-05 18:14:38 UTC  

oh ok

2020-03-05 18:14:38 UTC  

My mum is a man

2020-03-05 18:14:53 UTC  

Take it to the lounge

With enough refraction you can easily see past the oil rig

2020-03-05 18:17:13 UTC  

Only a little bit would be hidden according to the graph

2020-03-05 18:17:22 UTC  

Which is exactly what happens in the photo and video

2020-03-05 18:18:38 UTC  

does that say 553 km? am I missing something?

2020-03-05 18:18:45 UTC  

Again, how much refraction there was in the video and photos is impossible to guess, in just saying that it would theoretically be possible

2020-03-05 18:19:30 UTC  

I cranked the refraction up to 0.99999 and that's what it gave me

2020-03-05 18:19:41 UTC  

but we're talking 10-20km range

2020-03-05 18:19:44 UTC  

But the main thing i wanted to show was the graph

2020-03-05 18:19:51 UTC  

Yeah I know, I typed that in

2020-03-05 18:19:57 UTC

2020-03-05 18:20:18 UTC  

then it's irrelevant

2020-03-05 18:20:27 UTC  

All I'm trying to say, is that with enough refraction it's a very reasonable distance

2020-03-05 18:20:34 UTC  

no. it's not.

2020-03-05 18:20:39 UTC  

Sure

2020-03-05 18:20:47 UTC  

at that distance it would be insignificant

2020-03-05 18:20:55 UTC  

How come

2020-03-05 18:21:10 UTC  

because it's a very tiny effect, esp at 10km

2020-03-05 18:23:28 UTC  

Well apparently not, cause with enough refraction you can theoretically see 553km away

2020-03-05 18:23:32 UTC  

You read it yourself

2020-03-05 18:23:42 UTC  

Of course it's not a realistic scenario

2020-03-05 18:24:10 UTC  

But it goes to show that 10.10miles is very reasonable

2020-03-05 18:25:00 UTC  

I'm not trying to start a fight btw, I know it's hard to sense the tone of the person over text 👀
