which vid?


Any that you or card have ever posted.

he even states in the video that the 3 miles is just an approximation, due to people having different types of vision impairments/prescriptions

it always helps to actually watch the video before asking questions...



Wasn't asking what some idiot in a you-tube video claimed but I suppose everything you believe is just what someone told you too believe.

So viewing the Rocky Mountains from Calgary , which is around 100km depending which of the 130 odd peaks you can see would be impossible ?

LOOOOOOL! What a fucking moron in the video! "Perspective convergence!"

Get this. Objects further away disappear only from the bottom. By such stupid logic, I could stand on the shoreline on my head and watch things reappear.

You can't make this shit uo, people.


Usually you can ask the right questions and get people like this to see the inconsistency, but he is totally unwilling to even acknowledge that I asked a question if he knows its going to smash his worldview.

It's pretty sad how brainwashed some people can make themselves.

Is there anyway we can test this kind of thing on neutral ground? Like a specific camera type and setting so we have a basis for comparison? Also could you give me some approximate distances to a few astral bodies? Including the sun and moon ofc


the problem is, a camera has one lens and it can zoom in and out, and it projects in 2D......a human has a set of eyes (twin lens) and cannot zoom and it projects in 3D......so I'm not sure how the comparison would work?

the sun is 3000 miles away and approx. 32 miles in diameter if that helps

Very much helps, how do you draw these conclusions?

Your eyes do not project in 3d. They project in 2d.

We have two eyes so we can have some measure of depth perception, but each eye is generating its own 2D image.

viewing what exactly? if your eyes are closed, then viewing the scenery would be difficult.

please, for the love of God, use some logic first, before asking questions........can u see an object the size of a tennis ball that is 3 miles away from you? can u see an object the size of a mountain that is 3 miles away from you?

It only works if he sets the parameters, dont care why he rejects them, he does so its not really important to rebut

there is no problem, except your misunderstanding of the law of perspective and convergence.

the sun isn't setting over the horizon. the sun is still in the sky and just reached the vanishing point (converged). It reached the limit of human vision until the sun is no longer visible, and then shortly after, the light radius from the sun is no longer visible to the human eye and we see night time




Pretty much what you said
