So for a small height D ≈ √ (2hR)=√(2R) √h

The distance is proportionnal to the square root of the height but as i said the constant have a unit

so now answer the question, at one foot whats the distance of the physical geometric horizon supposed to be?

Idk it must be less than 6.21 miles as you ask

So if that is the case why do we see the horizon at ten miles plus at one foot height?

Because we dont see the geometrical horizon

we know, we been telling globers that for fives years an more 😄

So why is it at ten miles?

You know, refraction

which type?

Atmospheric refraction

well no, but okay

we'll go with that

so how can a non-physical horizon refract

Can i dm you an image

you can post here if you like, you now have perms 🙂

Thanks

The optic horizon is in H

so how much refraction can you have

Thats a good question

And a hard one i think

You can find a refraction simulator online

So it simulates flat? But its really curved?

can you show curved refraction downwards, an give the maths?

the earth is not flat bro

u trash

just fly a drone into the sky

Yea that was.... something

Here is an example of curved refraction downwards

I’ve done the maths before for a index of refraction that depends on the distance to a plane (like in the video) but i think its much harder for a sphere

I think ill try

Earth is not flat

I just can’t see the earth being flat
