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

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

cy wanted to speak to you

2020-01-16 02:40:22 UTC  

he got banned tho

2020-01-16 02:46:35 UTC  

Yea
Pls don’t post formulas to toxic chemicals and telling people to huff it

2020-01-16 02:48:38 UTC  

Hey

2020-01-16 03:15:33 UTC  

its not like people are gonna have those exact materials

2020-01-16 03:15:40 UTC  

unless they knew the formula already

2020-01-16 03:16:05 UTC  

Can have some materials?

2020-01-16 03:16:13 UTC  

towlie vs mr hankie
