but, what if really? Will we ever know? :D


we know the earth is not flat.

science.

but common knowledge comes into play also 😌👍

Thank you.

Why do you divide it by two? This implies that the angle at the top of your drawing equals the angle in the middle of the circle. What is that assumption based on?


See the picture?

See the angle at the horizon leading back to you but also points to the center of the Earth ?

See the little symbol inside - it is the universal symbol for 90°

This is what people are taught to make you think the Helio view is correct and done on purpose to fool you into thinking "Ah, that makes sense" 90° horizon.

The correct 2 dimension side view is to show that your eye doesn't meet the horizon - it only happens in the 3rd dimension aka depth of field aka the "z axis" perspective.

Does the fact that humans are generally ~6' tall and the radius of the earth is ~21 million feet have any impact on your nice little scetch card?

This is from a video to show you how to figure out how far the horizon is away and the most important thing to understand is that the angle at the horizon will always be 90° - leaving the angle to view the horizon + the angle of inclination between the center of the earth and you and the horizon as the other 90° and so no matter what scale of model you use it will always be less than 90° and it shows how wrong that thinking is that the horizon is up, and that it is the curve of the earth.

We dont live in flatland so showing or try to explain a 3 dimensional perspective with a 2 d side view of flatland understanding is inherently flawed.

It's also not my drawing. This is a Heliotards drawing showing you his retarded logic and why he cant understand flat earthers.

None of this has anything to do with any of the questions I've asked, so I will go ahead and call this a dodge.

Care to respond again, and this time just stick to whatever it is we are talking about?

Except you magically assumed the angle is 45 degrees. Yeah, the tangent line is always at 90 to the radius, but the angle the person is looking at depends on their size. As you shrink the person down, the viewing angle will approach 90 as well. In other words, for a very small person on a very large world, the viewing angle to see the horizon will be almost 90 degrees, making the person look straight ahead of them and making the horizon appear to be at eye level. Which, amazingly, is exactly what happens in the real world.
