Yet another hour of my life wasted trying to follow a thread where Tom is really only showing his ignorance and blind faith in EnaG!
Nowhere in the linked thread does any FEer try to explain how you can see a sun half or 3/4 hidden behind the horizon, other than “by waves”
I have posted pictures of sunsets i have seen on board my ship, and the camera was zoomed to maximum, but guess what? The view i saw with my naked eye, was the same view i captured with the camera, as well as the same view i saw with binoculars. Ie half, 3/4 and finally 9/10 of the sun below the horizon, finally no sun.
There was never any “gap” to the horizon where the “perspective lines” were nearly meeting, nor was the sun restored by looking at it through binoculars.
Very often i knew my exact hieght of eye above the water, (34M) and can easily show that there was now way a 34M wave between the sun and myself. In fact the highest wave would have been about 1M high. That on the horizon at 12 miles away, could never obscure the sun (even if it is “only” 30 miles across)
So I would love for someone to explain the OP post, and refrain from citing EnaG as definitive, or trying to use the “dime hides and elephant” trick, because the thread linked did not show any proof from the FEers at all.
