Earth curvature is simple. When we don’t see any, why should we keep believing there is?
ok so
originally you were talking about vacuums
Topics like that can take more time.
and you didn't really answer me on that
definitely, Derek
octo i specifically said im not going into vacuums again because we completely go over each other
my stronger point of debate
is that photo i provided
120,000ft altitude
why is there no curvature?
tell me that
that's not all that high up
not too high up, but high enough to see strong curvature according to the globe earth numbers
your photo doesn't mean much.
I don't take much stock in photos from low earth orbit because what you see depends heavily on camera lens and field of view
could you show those numbers?
you can get DRAMATICALLY different visuals depending on those variables.
hard to tell by this picture
also it'd be more useful to measure directly rather than just look with your naked eye
honestly man I HIGHLY recommend looking at Eric Dubay's videos
he is the one I looked at for years to answer most general questions about the topic
thats why it took me years to get serious
after that time i became open to talking and debating about the subject
these are all questions that he has hours of videos explaining
so with that graph
my simple words won't do anything when these questions are asked
yeah?
do the diagrams on the bottom show observed curvature or?
yup
good eye I didn't catch that
so at 23 miles the curvature would be really negligible
but still visible
around 120000 feet
maybe with a very precise ruler
if I find a NASA video at a mere 80,000ft you will see heavy curvature
kinda weird...
At 120,000 feet, the view is several hundred miles in every direction 360 degrees.
there are no nasa videos of earth that have 0 curvature at high altitude, when in reality, that's how it is
At that height, we really should see something.
