you do know you are not meant to post low content here right? i know septics threads turn into random ramblings here....

the video is not in jest. it is a serious comment and the principles behind it can explain some things we observe.

Okay, my bad.  I watched that video after yours and should've posted it in the lounge.  I suppose I can edit? I don't know if that will help.

Anyway, how do you think it explains it.  I mean... we saw glass disappear.

Bendy light says light doesn't reach our eyes.  The glass and oil in this experiment allowed light to pass right through without any refraction.  Are you proposing that a ship, far on the horizon suddenly allows light to pass right through it?

im actually proposing somebody who supports fet to be able to use this as more evidence.

i think it will aid the fact that the southern hemiplane see different stars. this could be due to the density of the atmoplane reaching an equal refraction index. same could be said for high altitude photography.

So how do they become visible?
lol - they actually believe the earth is flat!

The same way objects become visable on a foggy day.
It may of taken a while and given you have to ignore space travel, but FET answers most issues rather well and the model is becoming a lot better. I'm just trying to show you visually what some of the effects are.

Surely you are joking. This phenomenon has nothing to do with flat earth and explain nothing from a flat earther's point of view, if anything it explains well phenomena as selenelion and Bedford Level experiment that are due to atmosphere refraction.

Not meaning that objects disappear as in the video, but that refraction is a well known and accepted fact.

It sure doesn't.

Ahahaha oh god, my sides are splitting.

"Guys, I have a video that shows things can vanish, and since our whole theory is based on invisible things we can't see, well, you get the idea. More evidence!!!"
Scepti, this idiocy needs to stop and it needs to stop right now. You are making a mockery of this fine forum with your poor trolling. You are a complete disgrace.

That is refraction you are seeing, a well understood, well modelled idea that is used every day by people with eye glasses.

it is a visual tool to show the effects of refraction in the atmosphere. im not saying this is how it happens.
this is bendy light right here in a jar.

Bendy light is a separate phenomenon from refraction. Refraction says that lights is refracted in a medium. Bendy Light, I believe, has no discovered mechanism to produce the effect.

Even in the video they say light is bending.

It sure doesn't.

In fact it shows how "bendy" (refracted) light makes an object made of transparent material visible. You only see the glass rod when there is a difference in the index of refraction between the glass and the surrounding material (air or water). When the index is the same (glass and oil) you don't see the rod because the light doesn't bend at the interface between the oil and the glass.

If anything it only shows how incoherent the whole "bendy light theory" is.

The only thing this video shows is that under certain refractive indices of a medium light doesn't refract.

Yes it does reaffirm that I suppose, but was that ever in question? It is already obvious to most people, particularly those involved in science.

So then you -can't- tell the Earth is flat by looking at it?

I'm not being facetious, I honestly do not understand how a video of light not refracting through a medium is evidence of bendy light or some other flat-earth supporting phenomenon.

All we need to do now is get past the 1+1=1 problem and you've knocked the whole damn thing on the head!

Well done Rama.
