Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Snell's Law proves long distance sighting is not due to refraction
« on: May 10, 2021, 02:07:51 PM »Are you talking about the photo posted in this thread? I had a look on the website and can't find any information about exactly where the photo was taken from, what the viewer height was. Exactly which direction they were looking at. I don't even know how to start investigating this without any of that information.Yeah, you are claiming these mountain ranges have changed apparent position on the earth.Never mind the mountain ranges that are visible when they shouldn't be.Can you give an example?
They changed apparent position also, I guess.
There's no dispute that refraction is a thing. So sure, sometimes results don't match what you'd expect on a perfect sphere with no atmosphere - because that's not what we live on.
I've yet to see a long distance photo which would, say, show from a viewing height of 20 inches above the sea level that it is possible to see people at the waters edge on the adjacent beach 23 miles away.
Seems like an example to me.
If you go to the website it says where the picture is taken from, the distance to the mountain that they are viewing, and the height of the mountain they are viewing. Use google to determine height of the cameraman by searching the height of the mountain they are on.
To save you time, these mountain ranges should not be visible. The only explanation from the round earth perspective is that it is refraction. But if it were in fact refraction we would notice a larger apparent angular size of the sun, but the sun actually remains the same apparent size on the horizon as it is during mid-day... This tells me there is no atmospheric refraction, because otherwise the sun would appear larger.
I'm working on a theory that includes the circumnavigable aspects, while also maintaining the apparent flatness in the 3D
