@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
they try so hard
but actually the trolling is increasing flat earther numbers
people are wondering why so much troll activity
Not a troll sadly
of course not
I assume 45 to the north?
As in +/- 45 degrees
no, like like holding it 45 degrees vertically
Ah ok, with you
Same reason as for a flat earth, the magnetic field is (roughly) parallel with the surface
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?
oh ok

Take it to the lounge
With enough refraction you can easily see past the oil rig
Which is exactly what happens in the photo and video
does that say 553 km? am I missing something?
Again, how much refraction there was in the video and photos is impossible to guess, in just saying that it would theoretically be possible
I cranked the refraction up to 0.99999 and that's what it gave me
but we're talking 10-20km range
But the main thing i wanted to show was the graph
Yeah I know, I typed that in
then it's irrelevant
All I'm trying to say, is that with enough refraction it's a very reasonable distance
no. it's not.
Sure
at that distance it would be insignificant
How come
because it's a very tiny effect, esp at 10km
Well apparently not, cause with enough refraction you can theoretically see 553km away
You read it yourself
Of course it's not a realistic scenario
But it goes to show that 10.10miles is very reasonable
I'm not trying to start a fight btw, I know it's hard to sense the tone of the person over text 👀
