That says the surface of the water bends down

2020-01-15 20:23:27 UTC  

light bends up

2020-01-15 20:23:40 UTC  

That contradicts the first gif

2020-01-15 20:23:53 UTC  

Which seemed to have suggested that light bends down then up

2020-01-15 20:24:12 UTC  

an the other image explains that

2020-01-15 20:24:13 UTC  

That's a Sheeple gif! Been a while since I saw that.

2020-01-15 20:24:20 UTC  

🙂

2020-01-15 20:25:10 UTC  

Please explain I don't understand it

2020-01-15 20:25:32 UTC  

Refraction causes light to bend upwards

2020-01-15 20:25:49 UTC  

This is what I need explaining

2020-01-15 20:26:31 UTC  

Wait

2020-01-15 20:26:35 UTC  

Bend upwards as in

2020-01-15 20:26:38 UTC  

The claim is boats *appear* to disappear over the horizon, because of up curving refraction.

Wait wait wait wait wait

2020-01-15 20:33:34 UTC  

Okay.

2020-01-15 20:33:50 UTC  

It's miserable how I cannot post an image to explain what I wanna know

2020-01-15 20:33:55 UTC  

Let me describe it

2020-01-15 20:34:52 UTC  

First: light travels down then up
Second: light travels forward then up
Third: light travels in a straight line with a downward component

2020-01-15 20:35:04 UTC  

Which one do you mean

2020-01-15 20:35:41 UTC  

Also, I do not understand refraction coefficient monitoring

2020-01-15 20:36:45 UTC  

you want reading material on REFRACTION being tested empirically?

Is it true that some flat earthers believe that Australia doesn't exist?

2020-01-16 01:50:55 UTC  

@Secrette yes. after laughing, we need to look at the proofs they have

2020-01-16 01:51:18 UTC  

and laugh again amirite

2020-01-16 01:51:35 UTC  

I've never met anyone who believes that Australia doesn't exist.

2020-01-16 01:52:04 UTC  

I heard it from somewhere, but I can't remember.

2020-01-16 01:52:16 UTC

2020-01-16 01:58:27 UTC  

@Rigg5 what do you think about sunspots?

2020-01-16 01:58:30 UTC  

what are they?

2020-01-16 01:58:39 UTC  

in the FE model

2020-01-16 02:02:09 UTC  

@Sassy Undeniably this new kid @Geekgasm has questions about FE
