why is there no curvature?

2020-02-15 22:59:04 UTC  

tell me that

2020-02-15 22:59:27 UTC  

that's not all that high up

2020-02-15 22:59:42 UTC  

not too high up, but high enough to see strong curvature according to the globe earth numbers

2020-02-15 23:00:00 UTC  

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

2020-02-15 23:00:06 UTC  

could you show those numbers?

2020-02-15 23:00:25 UTC

you can get DRAMATICALLY different visuals depending on those variables.

2020-02-15 23:00:36 UTC  

hard to tell by this picture

2020-02-15 23:00:47 UTC  

also it'd be more useful to measure directly rather than just look with your naked eye

2020-02-15 23:01:00 UTC  

earth's curvature calculator

2020-02-15 23:01:13 UTC  

honestly man I HIGHLY recommend looking at Eric Dubay's videos

2020-02-15 23:01:25 UTC  

he is the one I looked at for years to answer most general questions about the topic

2020-02-15 23:01:32 UTC  

thats why it took me years to get serious

2020-02-15 23:01:44 UTC  

after that time i became open to talking and debating about the subject

2020-02-15 23:02:11 UTC  

these are all questions that he has hours of videos explaining

2020-02-15 23:02:20 UTC  

so with that graph

2020-02-15 23:02:21 UTC  

my simple words won't do anything when these questions are asked

2020-02-15 23:02:23 UTC  

yeah?

2020-02-15 23:02:33 UTC  

do the diagrams on the bottom show observed curvature or?

2020-02-15 23:02:46 UTC  

yup

2020-02-15 23:03:01 UTC  

good eye I didn't catch that

2020-02-15 23:03:06 UTC  

so at 23 miles the curvature would be really negligible

2020-02-15 23:03:17 UTC  

but still visible

2020-02-15 23:03:19 UTC  

around 120000 feet

2020-02-15 23:03:29 UTC  

maybe with a very precise ruler

2020-02-15 23:03:33 UTC  

if I find a NASA video at a mere 80,000ft you will see heavy curvature

2020-02-15 23:03:35 UTC  

kinda weird...

2020-02-15 23:03:52 UTC  

At 120,000 feet, the view is several hundred miles in every direction 360 degrees.

2020-02-15 23:03:57 UTC  

there are no nasa videos of earth that have 0 curvature at high altitude, when in reality, that's how it is

2020-02-15 23:04:37 UTC  

At that height, we really should see something.

2020-02-15 23:04:48 UTC  

how are you measuring that?

2020-02-15 23:05:05 UTC  

How can you measure zero?

2020-02-15 23:05:12 UTC  

what is life? what are numbers?

2020-02-15 23:05:21 UTC  

you are just a number

2020-02-15 23:05:26 UTC  

you'd need to distinguish it from an extremely slight angle

2020-02-15 23:05:28 UTC  

now it all makes sense

2020-02-15 23:05:37 UTC  

something you probably wouldn't see with the naked eye

2020-02-15 23:06:58 UTC  

octo do you believe in the apollo moon landings?

2020-02-15 23:07:21 UTC  

Jtolan Media makes awesome videos. He has an infrared lens attached to his camera. That pierces through atmosphere we normally couldn’t see through. He sees hundreds of miles at only 30,000 feet-ish high. Through 1 window.

2020-02-15 23:07:30 UTC  

i mean
