It's not light bending like bendy light unless you use very thin layers of denser and denser materials.

Actually, bendy light requires light to bend in a direction opposite to what normal atmospheric refraction would cause.  The atmosphere generally causes the the sun to appear higher than it really is.  Bendy light would need to cause the sun to appear lower than it really is in order to explain sunsets.

I am going to try to come up with a new child's toy or maybe a Spencer's type of adult gift named "Bendy Light" ... it just sounds cool.

It's too bad for you that you contributed nothing relevant to the discussion.

Well, not to put too fine a point on it but - why criticize others about 'making your daily task' easier, when you were supposedly never coming back [or more accurately 'gone']. It would appear that you are the one coming back for more so ... you are simply getting what you ask for. Not to mention that kind of sounds like the old axiom 'the pot calling the kettle black' wouldn't you say?

Enjoy,

It's not exactly the same thing, but it's in a similar vein.

When doing point to point wireless installs (bridging), one must actually add height to each antenna mast to ensure that the signal (and the accompanied Fresnel zones) clear the curvature of the earth (and then one adds height for obstructions like trees, hills, houses, etc).

Why don't we try the ship experiment with wireless bridges? Find two shores more than 10-20 miles apart (yes, they'll reach), hook up the antennas as close to water level as safe, and see if we hit anything.

The sinking ship experiment works with just about anything. It was probably devised at a time when ships were the tallest man made object that many people could regularly observe.

But it works just as well for buildings, bridges and masts as well as natural objects such as mountains / volcanoes.

Any of the newer FE's want to comment?
Any of you thought of any better arguments?

How is that bendy light theory going?

I haven't read but about 100 posts into this and I realize that ideas about light "bending" may have changed since two years ago when this thread started, but if light bends around earth like some posts where saying, then why on a RE at night when the sun is on the opposite side of the earth does a person not see the light bending around the earth?

I think it makes better since to say that light travels at a straight line and only changes angles once it hits the Earths atmosphere.  But like I said, I haven't finished reading through this marvelous "debate."

And you wonder why people troll here.  1) I stated that I had started reading and  2) I mentioned information from posts in this thread.  Seriously, you act the age of the person in your avatar.  And since this is the debate forum, you really shouldn't have pointless threads, i've heard it may lead to bans.

The only reason I said anything at all was because I knew I wasn't going to get through all 23 pages of posts anytime soon and I wanted to express a thought that ran through my head before I forgot it.  Regardless of FE or RE, my question about light in a straight line (instead of "bending") was legit.

Welcome to the FES, that is pizzaplanet, he will make many such comments during your time here. There is hardly ever a reason to respond to him as he is usually wrong and just likes to poke people with his e-fork. I hope you enjoy your stay nonetheless.

Because the light bends upwards when it goes away from the Earth and downwards when it goes towards the Earth.
This eventually causes the light to bend 90 degrees.  If you were to look above the Earth and sun you'd find yourself looking at multiple suns and moons.

Look, I don't make this stuff up, I just tell you how they see it.
You have been ignored for common interest of mankind.

And you wonder why people troll here.  1) I stated that I had started reading and
And I claim that you lied, based on the fact that you didn't know the basic information contained in this thread at the moment of your posting. Reading threads before posting is fundamental, though often unpracticed by people such as Raver, who then complain for not being taken too seriously. who generally have no will to be taken seriously.

2) I mentioned information from posts in this thread.
Which doesn't make it any less incorrect.

Seriously, you act the age of the person in your avatar.
That's me.

This thread isn't pointless.

You should have at least tried.

Regardless of FE or RE, my question about light in a straight line (instead of "bending") was legit.
The question isn't legit at all. You're asking why people why FET doesn't work when applied to RET. It reminds me of people who ask: "If Darwin was so damn smart, then why is he dead?"

Yes, you were right about being a troll. I also encourage you to stop telling people if their questions are legit or not, grow up kid, when someone asks a genuine question like the person did and you answer in the way you did, it is just trolling (or at the very least you are doing your best to appear as one).

I apologize, I might have gone to far, I am not trying to stir any trouble. Just pointing out that PP's way of treating someone new (and polite might I add) is usually considered to be an act of trolling, but I shall refrain from posting here again as you wish so long as PP stops his attempts to troll bait me.
