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

Am I hearing you correctly that since I can see a pen top at 2 inches I should be able to see a celestial body from thousands of miles??

He also believes the Earth is 7000 years old.

That Antarctica is an Ice Wall surrounding the Earth Game of Thrones style, and that "they" won't let us see it.

He's like the crazy bar owner on Shaun of the dead who said Dogs can't look up.

I'm asking you a question. Stop being a bitch and answer it to the best of your ability

I will readily admit that my opinions are based on my personal observations.

Please explain to me how it is possible to stand on Falmouth Beach and see the beach on Nantucket which is approx 40 miles away? With an amateur telescope. It should definitely behind the curve, no?

Or am I so painfully stupid that even an intellectual superpower such as yourself cannot explain it to me so I can understand?

I’m taking it you cannot answer. Cmon.

Polaris is the same brightness in Ontario Canada as Mexico City. With alllll the dust. With all the moisture. With all the atmospheric disruption.

But it’s dust and moisture that keeps the southernmost part of a South American country.. that is over two times smaller than Texas. From seeing it.

Same brightness from Ontario to Mexico City. Dust, moisture, atmosphere. Same.

Can see from northern Equator. Can’t see in south.

Lay it out for me. Layman’s terms. Pull out your charts… your books… take celestial readings tonight. Don’t care.

Hit me with an explanation.

So? Now respond to these please.

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?

Answer any of my previous questions. You are directly stating that there is a physical limitation on human sight on a flat disk through the obstructive effects of atmospheric refraction. We know that the index of refraction for air at STP is 1.0003, while in a vacuum it is 1.0000. From that, I am asking what is the distance at which humans cannot see a distant object, because refraction isn't nearly as obstructive enough to make a distant object invisible to the human eye. Thus, what is causing the physical limitation of human eyesight on a flat disk?

Now, if the ship is truly disappearing beyond the curvature, how then can they be brought back into focus by a telescope?

---

Because magnification exists.

So I have to prove with charts my opinions, but you can just say that Polaris is the same brightness from any vantage point on Earth without proving it?? I already said that that I doubt any change in brightness would too subtle to quantify.

Read what you are saying. You said this. Any change in brightness would be too subtle to quantify.

For tens of thousands of miles. A change in brightness is too subtle to quantify. From the far North America to Central America. No easily seen change.

But. But… atmospheric phenomena keeps the southern tip of Ecuador from seeing it. When the northern tip can. In a country 2.5 x smaller than Texas.

Same thing in Kenya. Columbia. The Maldives. Same.

You have been just so on point so far to start answering questions with questions.

I can explain it. But you don’t believe it.

Now explain it to me.
