If I put a dime, behind a quarter, and get flat and level with the desk,

2020-02-05 21:30:44 UTC  

I cannot see the dime?

2020-02-05 21:31:05 UTC  

i guess dont know how big these are

2020-02-05 21:31:10 UTC  

but go on

2020-02-05 21:31:19 UTC  

Do you have coins in your country?

2020-02-05 21:31:22 UTC  

Where are you from?

2020-02-05 21:31:27 UTC  

germany

2020-02-05 21:31:31 UTC  

I will form my analogy best for your understanding.

2020-02-05 21:31:34 UTC  

Ok, one second please.

2020-02-05 21:31:49 UTC  

wich one is bigger

2020-02-05 21:32:13 UTC  

What coins do you use in germany?

2020-02-05 21:32:16 UTC  

The Mark still?

2020-02-05 21:32:21 UTC  

euros and cents

2020-02-05 21:32:37 UTC  

doesnt matter continue with your point

2020-02-05 21:33:00 UTC  

A 1 euro coin, is larger than a 1 cent coin correct?

2020-02-05 21:33:32 UTC  

I just want to be sure, as an american, you would think the "cent" is the smallest coin we have, but alas, it's n ot.

2020-02-05 21:33:34 UTC  

*not

2020-02-05 21:33:44 UTC  

yes i got dime quarter comparison up so go on

2020-02-05 21:33:50 UTC  

Excellent.

2020-02-05 21:33:59 UTC  

If you put the largest, infront of the smallest,

2020-02-05 21:34:04 UTC  

Would you be able to see the smallest?

2020-02-05 21:34:31 UTC  

Say we did it on a 6 foot desk, and you are flat and level.

2020-02-05 21:34:48 UTC  

You have the 1 euro coin in front, with the 1 cent coin behind it, further along the table.

2020-02-05 21:34:55 UTC  

Can you see both coins? Or only 1?

2020-02-05 21:35:16 UTC  

depends how close you are to the dime

2020-02-05 21:35:35 UTC  

...

2020-02-05 21:35:40 UTC  

6 foot desk.

2020-02-05 21:35:46 UTC  

You are eye level, with it's base.

2020-02-05 21:35:50 UTC  

With a 1 euro coin in front

2020-02-05 21:36:02 UTC  

and a 1 euro cent behind the 1 euro coin.

2020-02-05 21:36:11 UTC  

Can you, or can you not see the smaller coin behind the larger one?

2020-02-05 21:36:29 UTC  

oh ok then no

2020-02-05 21:36:39 UTC  

Well, if the earth was truly flat,

2020-02-05 21:36:50 UTC  

Than that observation would be factual.

2020-02-05 21:37:04 UTC  

If the water of earth, was truly flat,

2020-02-05 21:37:16 UTC  

smaller objects, would never be seen behind, or above, larger objects.

2020-02-05 21:37:21 UTC  

i think that kinda observation would match in all 3 models

2020-02-05 21:37:36 UTC  

and it does

2020-02-05 21:37:46 UTC  

in the one thats real too

2020-02-05 21:37:58 UTC  

So,

2020-02-05 21:38:03 UTC  

Instead of a 6 foot desk
