But I did it while there was a much bigger barge in the background... but way farther out. I could still see the barge, but not my friends boat. So that doesnt make sense.
Whatever, but this argument has been disproven and rejected over and over.
What I saw isnt an argument...its fact. So what are you talking about?
Without getting into your particular details (no time) I'm just saying that the 'boat disappearing over the horizon,' theory, supposedly proving that the earth is round, has been disproven, can be disproven.
there is also atmospheric perspective, the further distance there is more gases getting in the way, and there is more air dense air closer to the surface. Also the hotter the day the more evaporation making visibility poorer as well. So as your friend gets smaller the air gets more cloudier.
So if I go into a plane, how am I able to see the ground? If the particles become too dense to see a boat, how would i still see houses and shit?
And a higher powered telescope still would not let me see the boat, so how do you explain that?
well like i said there is more air closer to the surface very little up there..so it is much less atmosphere to look thru looking down than looking across the surface...the earth is much bigger than your friends boat...lol...so of course you can see the ground
>And a higher powered telescope still would not let me see the boat, so how do you explain that?
Lies. You would be able to see it come back into view if it had just disappeared.
That's because the barge is bigger. You need to move even further away for larger objects to shrink/disappear.
Well first off...not only was what you said about needing a stronger telescope not true, it's a pretty stupid and easily disprovable. So I could just redo my experiment with 3 strong telescopes and I guarantee I will not be able to see the boat...then you will believe that its round?
It's true, you're being stupid. Disprove it then.
If you actually did your experiment and the boat came back into view, would you believe that the earth is flat? Or at least that maybe it's possible?
