sorry

2020-03-05 15:14:13 UTC  

no worries

2020-03-05 15:14:13 UTC  

You trust engineering, yes?

2020-03-05 15:14:17 UTC  

happens a lot

2020-03-05 15:14:23 UTC  

yes

2020-03-05 15:14:40 UTC  

And engineering uses gravity, yes?

2020-03-05 15:14:43 UTC  

@Trixxle you were going to work out the geometric horizon using your maths an draw it in yellow, remember?

2020-03-05 15:14:51 UTC  

we should get some geodesist for questioning 😄

2020-03-05 15:16:31 UTC  

what I'm still trying to figure out is why some globers spend so much time here every day

2020-03-05 15:16:34 UTC  

curious

2020-03-05 15:16:39 UTC  

i dont think engineers care about bending of spacetime man

2020-03-05 15:16:49 UTC  

why do they care so very much

2020-03-05 15:16:52 UTC  

Morbid fascination

2020-03-05 15:16:55 UTC  

lol

2020-03-05 15:16:57 UTC  

right

2020-03-05 15:25:32 UTC  

you guys ever tried breathwork?

2020-03-05 15:25:48 UTC  

@Logrian here you go sir

2020-03-05 15:27:21 UTC  

I don't understand why youre trying to make me do

Engineers, evidently, do use gravity quite a lot, depending on the specific application. Certain nuances of it also rely quite heavily on aspects of relativistic motion as well, so I guess the answer is 'yes'.

Trix, earlier you said that was the refracted horizon, well which is it, because you said from you maths the horizon from one foot is 6 miles and that past ten miles, im confused?

That mountain image is a bit fishy with the numbers

2020-03-05 17:21:05 UTC  

If you put the obs and target heights into the curve calculator you get results similar to the image. With/Without refraction

2020-03-05 17:21:32 UTC  

I have taken picture of what I mean from my screen but cant post them

2020-03-05 17:22:17 UTC  

post now

There we go. Been a long day

2020-03-05 17:34:15 UTC  

how is this simulation similar to the image? the horizon should appear after the structure not vanish before

2020-03-05 17:43:42 UTC  

I don't follow?

2020-03-05 17:50:56 UTC  

@Pit Droid the red and yellow structure is platform habitat correct? the image taken for black swan shows platform habitat appearing before the horizon but in your simulation, the structure appear to vanish after the horizon

2020-03-05 17:51:15 UTC  

Ahh no this is the mountain image not the rigs

2020-03-05 17:51:29 UTC  

oh right, then thats a different matter

2020-03-05 17:53:22 UTC  

@Logrian ah yes, cause I can clearly see how far the line is I drew

2020-03-05 17:53:43 UTC  

And the refractors horizon is the horizon we see

2020-03-05 17:53:49 UTC  

That's what I was referring to
