Oil rig image has been debunked also

2020-03-03 10:58:37 UTC  

What does that mean???

2020-03-03 10:58:40 UTC  

Again with the nonsensicle link...

2020-03-03 10:59:24 UTC  

Do you actually have any useful points to make @Logrian? You seem to post the same debunked images/video and the horizon nonsense without explenation every day.

2020-03-03 10:59:41 UTC  

Where is the debunking then

2020-03-03 10:59:49 UTC  

Pass it down

2020-03-03 11:00:10 UTC  

Refraction can explain both the ice video and the oil rig image

2020-03-03 11:00:44 UTC  

It's most clear in the oil rig image as you can see how distorted the farther rig is. This suggests a large amount of atmospheric distortion is in effect.

2020-03-03 11:01:27 UTC  

Using one of the earth curve calculators which has a perscription for refraction, you can apply a high level of refraction and find that the viewing distance at the heights mentioned in the full video are reasonable

2020-03-03 11:02:27 UTC  

Look at the crane on the far way oil rig

2020-03-03 11:02:34 UTC  

It's completely distorted

2020-03-03 11:03:10 UTC  

I'm not saying its the very extreme refractive case, but if you plug, say, 6 inches into one of these calculators and put the refraction to maximum (so the maximum limit) your viewing distance of a 1 ft high object can be at least 10 miles (I could have tested exactly how far with max refraction in that model but I figure 10 miles was sufficient to make the point).

2020-03-03 11:04:00 UTC  

Exactly.

2020-03-03 11:04:31 UTC  

Doesn't distortion come from things like mirage?

2020-03-03 11:04:45 UTC  

Exactly

2020-03-03 11:05:07 UTC  

Mirage has nothing to do with round earth. It would be possible on both

2020-03-03 11:05:37 UTC  

But it proves the image isn't proof the earth is flat

2020-03-03 11:05:53 UTC  

If you saw an oil rig due to refraction, you are seeing a guess a 'false image' of it. The image of the rig is a mirage in itself

2020-03-03 11:06:29 UTC  

There are many types of mirage. I want to say (off the top of my head) refraction causes a superior mirage

2020-03-03 11:07:58 UTC  

But your right that mirages as a thing don't have anything to do with the shape of the earth, and would happen on both. However, specifically mirages can have the effect of allowing one to see further than one would expect given the curvature of the earth.

2020-03-03 11:08:56 UTC  

In my opinion I think further mirages would work better on flat earth maybe

2020-03-03 11:09:06 UTC  

Which is why one has to be careful using observations very close to the surface where refraction will be at its greatest.

2020-03-03 11:09:47 UTC  

I'm not sure what you mean, sorry

2020-03-03 11:10:16 UTC  

It's alright, I must have not explained myself properly

2020-03-03 11:10:46 UTC  

No worries

2020-03-03 11:11:31 UTC  

But I would rather keep myself shut because my stupid opinions started fecal storms a few times

2020-03-03 11:14:07 UTC  

If you're sure, though I do try to listen to people's points rather than mock them.

2020-03-03 11:14:13 UTC  

Though I do have to go to work soon

2020-03-03 11:14:43 UTC  

Reasonable

2020-03-03 11:16:17 UTC  

I remember I said something about weed or chernobyl and instantly regreted it

2020-03-03 11:19:18 UTC  

People can be weird

2020-03-03 11:19:47 UTC  

I'd use a stronger term but I fear the automatic filter would get me 😛

2020-03-03 11:20:23 UTC  

Like I understand you people that believe in round earth and other things but it croses the line when name calling starts

2020-03-03 11:20:33 UTC  

Exactly

2020-03-03 11:21:07 UTC  

No point doing that. Or spamming. Just pointlessly creaming into the void at that point.

2020-03-03 11:21:17 UTC  

*screaming o.o

2020-03-03 11:21:23 UTC  

oh no

2020-03-03 11:22:11 UTC  

Ooof

2020-03-03 11:22:22 UTC  

Eh, still works I gues....

2020-03-03 11:23:28 UTC  

I think I need to read the Bible
