No, they become less distinguishable due to the dense atmoplane.
Yet we can magically distinguish the towers?
Reference to what?
A reference to a straight line.
According to him, it is referencing the horizon.
It is to allow you to compare the horizon to a straight line, without obstructing the horizon.
It is most definitely lense distortion.
Explain how. I have explained how we know it isn't due to lens distortion.
Cue unsubstantiated, baseless, "NO U!"
Yeah, I figured you would pull some shit like that as you are completely unable to defend your claims, so you just repeatedly assert them and say everyone else is lying.
A line superimposed after the fact on top of a picture would not serve or bolster your statement
Sure it would. These lines show that the towers are not distorted due a lens. This shows that the curve is due to the lens.
Intelligence people do not engage in speaking the truth.
Perhaps I should have said intelligent, honest people.
Is this an admission that you are intelligent but are intentionally lying?
Intelligent honest people would not say the crap you are saying.
FTFY.
No, you didn't fuck it for me, you fucked it for yourself because you are unable to honestly and rationally defend your position, so you need to lie about what others say.
You cannot make any determination concerning the shape of the Earth from ground based visual observations alone.
Yes you can as I have explained in numerous threads.
In fact, this thread has one such demonstration.
These towers following a curved line is one such visual observation which can be used to determine that Earth is curved.
What you can't do is say this 1m long stretch of water appears flat so Earth must be flat, because over that distance you cannot tell the difference between flat and following the curvature of Earth.
