I already did explain it and the gif you posted shows exactly how it was done, which should be pretty clear to anyone who cares to question the global dupe.
You mean you repeatedly avoided it and the gif shows exactly why you are wrong.
The gif clearly shows that when looking level (as established by the water levels lining up) the horizon is below eye level.
You can only make it line up with the line by looking down from above the line.


We don't dismiss what you say.
Who are you trying to kid?
No one, unlike you who needs to contiually ignore large sections of posts which so clearly show you are wrong.
That is why I said we explain what is wrong with the garbage you say, which is distinct from merely dismissing it.

Who are you trying to kid?
Everyone in the world?

Because yet again you ignore extremely simple questions that show you are wrong.
Again, why shouldn't the RE have a horizon?

Are you a real person?

That's for you to decide.
My advice to you is to treat me as a bot and stay clear. Ignore me and get on with other stuff. Can you do that?

Nice dodging
Dodged the part where 3d simulations were provided and insyead going with more irrelevant non answers.
Draw your horizon.
I can't draw any horizon.
The horizon is theoretical and is only visible to each individuals eye level.

Fine
Draw the dark and draw the not so dark regions.
Draw what we are seeing and how it hits peoples eyes.
Draw your model.
I can't. What am I drawing?

The horizon is right in front of your eyes. Go and take a look. You ask for some silly things.

Draw a side view of what we are seeing.
What is it?

The horizon is specific to you. It is your horizon.
Why?
Because it's the convergence (theoretical) line to your vision. Your horizontally level vision.

Darker verses lighter shades of light spectrum.


The distance to your theoretical line is determined by the elevation.
You are not looking down to an edge you are looking directly level to the very same shades of light from top to below converging to the horizontally level eye line.


Putting up globes as if you see an edge to a curve, is nonsense.

Repeating the same lie and ignoring the refutation of it wont help you. It just shows how desperate you are.

Again, the gif quite clearly shows that when you are looking level at this height the horizon is clearly below the line. The only way to make it line up is if you look down.
And that means the horizon is below level.

Now again, care to explain why the RE shouldn't have a horizon?

The horizon is specific to you. It is your horizon.
No, it isn't.
It is simply the tangent to your eyes.

If you want to claim other nonsense, explain it, preferably with a diagram, clearly indicating how it causes the appearance of the horizon which is independent of the optics used and isn't a blur.

Again, I'll stop my "repetition" when you can start addressing the issues raised rather than continually ignoring or dismissing them.

No you haven't. You spouted handwavy nonsense which in no way explains why we have a clear horizon a finite distance away which doesn't depend on optics.

You just need to pretend to have explained it as you know that the RE is the reason why we have a horizon.

Just like you need to pretend to have explained how the photo shows the horizon is below eye level, because you know an honest analysis shows it is actually below eye level, which destroys your claims.

Now again, why shouldn't the RE have a horizon?

Yes, I made a typo, so what. The intent is clear.

And just how does the gif show you are correct, as it clearly shows the horizon is BELOW eye level?

Simple question, simple answer.
Assuming it was magically possible to stand on a globe as you believe it to be, then looking over  that globe with level sight will only offer you a curved angle away from your level vision. It leaves you with sky. That's it.

You may not like this answer but it is an answer, so don;t be coming back saying I haven't answered.

What a bullshit non answer.

Your eyes are full of light receptor cells.
When  a raybeam of light hits a receptir, it triggers the brain to percieve that.
So
Where are these light rays coming from.

No, it isn't an answer, it is yet another deflection.
I didn't ask you why the RE doesn't have a horizon at eye level.
I asked why it doesn't have a horizon. That would include one which is not at eye level, including those below it, as repeatedly observed in reality.

Given the previous interactions, you KNOW that I am not limiting it to a level sight, such as by the previous line of inquiry, you start with your head looking down seeing nothing but ground/sea, and slowly lift it up until you can see nothing but sky. Visually what happens in between?
What separates the ground/sea from the sky?

This means you didn't answer my question.
Instead you substituted the question with a different question, one you felt you could answer.
So don't come back saying you have answered, when you threw in an additional restriction of a 0 degree level sight which were not in the original question.

So I'll ask again, why shouldn't the RE have a horizon?

This time see if you can actually answer the question asked rather than a different one you want to answer because you find it easier.

See, this is where you misunderstand size, scale, and perspective here on Earth. Your mind just doesn't seem capable of differentiating between what you see while standing on top of a basketball, compared to what you see while standing on Earth.

I'm not mixed up.
The Earth that you believe in will always curve downwards and away from your vision.
Anything you look at from a level vision will never reach a distant object just a score miles away.

8 inches per mile squared is all you need to know. It does not end up trivial even over the one mile, never mind mile after mile.

What's really strange to me is that you truly don't understand the mechanics of a globe earth, the thing that you rail against. Using the accurate measurement calculations it works like this.

Here is a 50' tall Target Object. The Observer is at 6'. The distance to the Target is 1 mile. The amount hidden by the globe is 0:



Now we push the same Target out to about our normal optical range limit of the Horizon, around 3 miles typically, at the same Observer height. The amount hidden by the globe earth is 0.0000001485':



Now we push the same Target out to 10 miles at the same Observer height. The amount hidden by the globe earth is 32.68':



Looking through a 2" level tube would look something like this:

No, it wont.
For example, if you look down, you can clearly see it.
But even when looking out level, initially perspective makes it curve up into your vision, as repeatedly shown.

8 inches per mile squared is all you need to know. It does not end up trivial even over the one mile, never mind mile after mile.
Except as already shown, that is an outright lie. The angular drop for the horizon is roughly 2.7 arc minutes, i.e. basically nothing.


There is no horizon on your globe so all that stuff you put, is bumph.
Stop just repeating the same pathetic lie.
If you want to assert the RE can't have a horizon, you need to explain what separates the ground/sea from the sky (visually).
If you need to continually appeal to a 0 degree level sight, it shows you have no case, as it is no better than saying "If you look straight up you can't see the ground".

Your self-indoctrinated faith based religion of one is, well, at least consistent.

You've been provided an endless stream of demonstrations and evidence to the contrary and your only argument is that it's all a lie based solely on your belief system. You refuse to provide and demonstrations, experiments, or evidence of your own to counter. You don't even understand what the thing is you are against. It's just you stomping your feet saying, "It's all a lie!"

Like I said before, no one even remotely thinks you would ever change your mind. Faith based religions like yours don't work that way. Faith usurps all logic and evidence.

All that's being done here is pointing out that you provide nothing but your devotion to your religion when faced with actual reality based evidence. There's no debating with faith. You've made that abundantly clear.

No, it wont.
For example, if you look down, you can clearly see it.

If you look down, of course you can see it.
Do we all go about looking down or do we generally look horizontally level?

And, if your Earth does not curve down and way from you then what the hell does it do?

And that is one of the key points.
You look down YOU SEE GROUND/SEA.
You look up, you see sky.
So what visually separates them other than the horizon?

Stop appealing to your stupid 0 degree level sight which no one has.
Instead just address the simple fact that the RE SHOULD have a horizon.
Either explain why it shouldn't, or admit it has one.

None of you can put anything forward from your own minds. You can't put anything into simple basic because your whole set up is all about following what's set out and replicating it.
It's a bit sickening to be fair.
I feel like I'm dealing with some people on some kind of spectrum.

Quote from: Stash

All that's being done here is pointing out that you provide nothing but your devotion to your religion when faced with actual reality based evidence. There's no debating with faith. You've made that abundantly clear.
There's no religion but my devotion is in getting the truth or at least ensuring people can think for themselves and go looking for it. Because one thing's for sure. The oblate spheroid spinning in a vacuum around a big fiery ball of fire is sickeningly yet bemusingly nonsensical.
