re: Why are "they" so obsessed with mentions of 'FLAT EARTH'? Just a silly "CT", right?

Again, there's a term for this. And define those physical limitations for me.

Next time you're at the beach, take a clear glass and draw some water from the ocean into it. You'll be able to see through the water and the glass. Then why can't you see the bottom of the ocean if the water appears clear at the surface? Because water dissipates light. There is shite floating around in the water that you can't see with the naked eye that aggregates at distance obstructing your view.
Ok… so you ARE saying Polaris is much brighter in Canada than Florida. Right?? Your example makes that assumption clear.
Are we on the same page??

No. I'm not saying that. Although I doubt any change in brightness would be quantifiable.

Stop being a bitch and stay on point.
How can you mathematically define the distance limitation of human sight on a flat disk? Usually flat-earthers use the visibility of distant objects to suggest curvature does not exist. Your argument now includes physical assumptions (which you can't seem to name for some reason) that you aren't extending equally to suggest why on a flat disk you can't see a distant object. It is breathtaking in its retardation.

Ok let’s break this down.
Polaris is the same brightness in the entire northern hemisphere. Even with all the atmospheric flows. It’s the same brightness in Ontario as it is in Cuba.
So it’s not brightness that allows the visibility of Polaris all the way to South American Equator.
But. buuuuut. Then it’s all this dust and atmospheric moisture that prevents central Equator from seeing it.
Am I hearing this correctly??

The idea is that the moon is not Terra firma, but merely a night light. It isn't reflected light, but emits its on light that just so happens to be vastly different than sunlight as it were.
Of all the ignorant views in this thread, this one cracks me up the most. What is the source of light? Why does this light go through phases?
And concerning lack of visibility in our atmosphere, if the sun is only a few thousand miles above a flat earth, why is it visible to some and not others? Even with microscopes. Or telescopes that can see non visible light? You do know visible light is a small portion of the entire spectrum?
Also, air is not a liquid. Just because it has microscopic liquid molecules.

Why can't you grasp that the air isn't clear of obstructive things like dust and moisture? Especially looking over an ocean. A telescope doesn't filter out things in the atmosphere.

If you were "surveying" a lake, would you "account for curvature"?
What are you surveying? Are you talking about soundings? Because you don't survey the surface of a lake. You take depth readings and determine MHW/MLW elevations.
Do you really think Earth is flat?

Ready to be dazzled and set straight.
Please cite the text book/website you're using to explain too.

He does.
He also believes the sun is small and 3000miles away, and that there's a firmament over the earth.
He also believes so called star forts are portals to alien worlds.
And that it was impossible to transport bricks in the 19th Century.

Again, what acts on human sight such that there is a limitation the ability to viewing a distant object on a flat disk? The index of refraction for a vacuum and for air at standard temperature and pressure are nearly the same, so your notion of obstruction isn't satisfactory enough to explain the limitations of human sight for any object which is high enough.

What in god’s name do you think causes immiscible fluids of differing densities to separate like that?
I’ll give you a hint, do you think this:
would happen in zero gravity?
