Why are you unable to tell us what magic stops the blue line, or what magic causes the Earth to have a light to dark blend instead of a clearly visible edge?
I gave you the instructions.
And JJA carried out the experiment according to your instructions. You then dismissed that as fake and made your instructions more complex, and a smaller FOV, making it more equivalent to an 11 foot long tube rather than just a standard tube you find in a kitchen, potentially to try to make the FOV so small you can't see the ground.
And this needless complexity does nothing to ensure the tubes are actually level, so if the experiment was carried out and still showed you were wrong, you would just dismiss it as fake and make more ridiculous demands.
Again, what stops something like this:
And no, your extra cross hair wont help with that either.
It does not ensure you don't angle your view.
It is just a needless complexity likely to make no one want to do the experiment so you can pretend you have won, while also reducing the FOV making it harder to see the ground.
Meanwhile, my logical argument against your nonsense remains unchallenged.
Again, what magic stops the blue line?
Unless you have an answer, there is no reason to think a tube magically gives you your magic parallel tunnel vision.
And again, the fact that you can see more of an object that is further away through the same tube shows that you are not seeing parallel.
If I was to get to the top of that hill and level the tube, I wouldn't be seeing any ground below it.
That is your baseless claim, which has been refuted by the logical argument you refuse to engage with, and by the evidence provided by JJA.
Stop just asserting the same BS, and start trying to defend it.
Your dishonesty reeks to high heaven.
Projecting yet again.
You are so very very confused. Forget about your tube obsession for one second. Ok? Put down the tube and back away slowly.
You have said multiple times you can't see the edge of a globe you are standing on. You have said their is no horizon, no edge.
And there isn't. And you and every person should be under absolutely no illusions about it once a little bit of sit down and think time, without fear of peer pressure to the contrary.
And edge to a ball?....for crying out loud.
We are under no illusions about it.
All balls have clearly visible edges.
Why should Earth be any different?
How in the hell a ball can have an edge
You have seen plenty of pictures of balls in this thread.
And what did they all have in common?
There is a clear division between the ball and not the ball.
That is an edge.
A ball is pretty much all edge.
It has nothing to do with tubes. The globe photo is to prove that yes, balls like any solid object has edges.
Well, you failed miserably.
Projecting again.
Again, you clearly see a region where the ball is, and clearly see a region where the ball is not. There is a clear separation between the 2.
That is the edge.
Forget your semantic BS about if that edge is real or theoretical. It is a clearly visible edge to the ball.
It is not a blend from light to dark like you claim Earth should have.
Think about that for a little bit. HORIZON. Horizontal.
Notice how they are 2 different words?
They don't need to mean the same thing.
Or do you think orienting something means you need to put it in Asia? (i.e. the Orient)?
Because that is even simpler. Orient, Orient.
I've done all the thinking on this stuff. The bits you can't get take little time to understand.
You mean the bits you can't get takes very little time to understand, but it requires you to not hate the RE so much that you will use whatever dishonest BS you can to dismiss it.
Perhaps this will make it easier:
See that red line? That is an edge of the ball. That is the "horizon" in this picture.
It doesn't matter what semantic BS you wish to invoke.
It is a clear separation between the ball and the surroundings.
This is just like the horizon which is observed in reality.
Now with this ball clearly having an edge/horizon, why shouldn't the RE?
