      The flat earthers are wrong with that as well. Most people don't care about the shape of the earth. Only when you start to care about the shape of the earth do you start to make hypothesis about whether it is flat, round, donut shaped or whatever. Flat is a presupposition because to begin with everyone is agnostic about the shape of the earth.

      Incorrect. Regardless of the shape of the surface, due to refraction there will be a visual horizon, although no actual horizon exists on, for example, a flat surface.

    @Planarwalk: Your deviation of the dip correction from the Almanac comes from the refraction coefficient used in the Almanac. The Almanac uses a refraction coefficient of k = 0.17 as calculated from standard atmospheric conditions at sea level, which yields a refracted radius of 6/5*R = 1.20*R rather than 7/6*R = 1.17*R.
    The refraction coefficient that leads to 7/6*R is k = 0.143, which is used in geodesy where they measure over land rather than water. Over water refraction is commonly slightly stronger than over land. This is taken into account in the Almanac by using 6/5*R for the refracted radius of the earth.

  • @Bunny99s
    @Bunny99s Před 2 lety +6

    When we said "you can not see such a small angle" we talk about seeing or noticing it with the naked eye. Just like we say you can not see the curve when looking at the horizon because the curve is tiny. In an actual image when you use a straight edge you can actually see the slight curve, given your observer height is high enough, when comparing it to an actual straight line. Many people have shown this. Any yes, we know that cameras and fisheye lenses can have distortions. However we specifically talk about images from cameras where the horizon line is below the center of the camera. Distortions are circular around the center of the camera. So a line above the center would be bent downwards at the far ends so it would increase a potential curve. However straight lines below the center would be bent upwards. You have seen this countless of times when an actual fisheye lense was in use. However we do have images from cameras in space which do not have such a lense and when looking at a horizon line that is below the center and it is still bent in the same direction, all arguments about lens distortions are out of the question.
    When we talk about the angle to the horizon from a certain observer height, there is actually a slight dip that goes over 180°. So we indeed look slightly downwards by a fraction of a degree when we are off the ground. However the dip is so small that a human can not notice this dip with the naked eye. However having a telescope that has an integrated artificial horizon, you can actually observe the tiny difference which gets larger as you go up in altitude. Though even at a relatively high altitude (say crusing altitude of an airplane), the dip is tiny, but still there.
    Though the misconception of Nathen goes much deeper here. First of all we do not live on a 2d circle but on a sphere. Also we don't stand at the exact top of the sphere. Since the earth rotates, your angle to a certain celestial object changes with time depending on your location on earth. Yes, when you are at the geographic north or south pole, your view would not really change (at least not over the course of your lifetime). So yes, if you visit the geographic north and south pole and take a picture of the nightsky all around, you would notice that the stars close to the horizon look the same, just inverted as those you see on the other hemisphere. Also there's a slight overlap of what you can see. How large that overlap may be depends on your height above the earth and of course on the topological structure around you. Even though the earth is a sphere on a large scale, on a local scale you're dealing with local mountains or slight ups and downs in the terrain around you. So you usually don't see a clear horizon anyways.

    I think the other mistake he's making is thinking that the diagram is to scale. A dip correction of 4.6 arc minutes is very small over the short distance (such as the radius of the earth compared to a person's height), and makes a difference only over long distances (the distance to stars). He needs to learn trigonometry. To give an approximate scale, a soccer ball viewed from about 756m is 1 deg side to side. That's already pretty small. 4.6 arc minutes if .0766... deg.

    I got about half way through before I couldn't take any more... A few thoughts. The problem Nathan has with his views is exactly as you state, it isn't a debate but a circle jerk and that is only fun (if you're into that sort of thing) if you're a participant. The quote mining and cherry picking practiced by Oakley and other flat Earthers is standard operating procedure for them, so it's annoying but no surprise. If as you say, the visual horizon varies because atmospheric refraction is inconsistent, all it does is make R uncertain, it doesn't make it disappear. My analogy is that if there's an elephant in the room and we all have difficulty measuring its circumference, it only makes its circumference and therefore R uncertain, it doesn't make the elephant disappear!
    Now here's one that Nathan hasn't considered... Nathan does in fact believe that there is a visual horizon and that it's due to atmospheric refraction. The only thing that can possibly cause atmospheric refraction is an atmospheric pressure gradient and this is something that Nathan DOESN'T believe in because if he did he would have to admit that both gravity and space are real. You might also ask Nathan if space isn't real, what is between the molecules in our atmosphere, but you will probably have been muted by then... 😆

    You said "Whether the Earth is flat or a sphere, the horizon can be refracted"
    That's baltantly false.
    The horizon can't exist on a flat earth. If there is no horizon, how can it be refracted?

    • @Tsudico
      @Tsudico Před 2 lety

      There would be a geometric horizon, just like they hate against for the globe model. However, their geometric horizon would never be visible due to the atmospheric scattering of light due to water vapor and particulates in the air which leads to things slowly going fuzzy and blending into the atmosphere (generally called atmospheric extinction). If they looked out into the ocean, as their line of sight approached "eye level" the ocean would gradually blend into the color of the atmosphere and so there wouldn't be a definite line that could be claimed to be the horizon and no visible separation between water and sky.

    • @MrRolnicek
      @MrRolnicek Před 2 lety +1

      @@Tsudico But there would still be refraction. Air is still a thing and there's still less pressure higher up, even they have stopped denying it.
      So ... maybe if you stood on the southern coast of Italy, looking out over the see, maybe you could see an orange blob in the sky that is the Sahara desert? I know there'd be lof of air but it'd be a lot less dense along the line of sight.

    There are definitely some rounding errors in your Python script because a Python calculation with only integers will result in an integer (losing any fractions). You should use floats or Decimals instead:
    >>> 7/6
    1
    >>> 7.0/6.0
    1.1666666666666667
    >>> from decimal import Decimal
    >>> Decimal(7)/Decimal(6)

    Hey, nice videos...I would like if you could think about my idea for a moment...now I'm not talking about a real magnetic monopole, just a construct of magnets that have their net magnetic field appear as a monopole at a certain distance from the construct...it seems only to work when you have an icosahedron (I've done the geometry a long time ago using the circular magnets representing a face of an icosahedron)...then you can shape the individual magnets to connect into a ball or sphere...in other words you can connect magnets using their poles to form a ball...they don't like to be in that position so they crash/implode...but if you can create a light metalic construct to keep them from "imploding" (aluminium frame) and adjust the for the curvature of the magnets and their strength (thickness)...meaning the thicker magnets would be just one pole to the outside of the ball so as to create a net south or north looking from the outside...also I would imagine that keeping the magnets in this position it would demagnetize them in a relatively short-or-I-don't-know time, can this construct be of any use? Also given the manufacturing of the magnets these days they have a variety of magnetization options and shapes of magnets it shouldn't be a problem to connect them almost perfectly in a sphere shape...and the bigger the shape the inverse square law could bring down the force that's causing them to "implode" inwards...
