Also explain this why must you take the Coriolis effect into account when making a 900+ yard shot if the earth is truly "stationary"

keep it simple. the more questions you ask the worse answers you get. you toss out 20 questions and he'll only answer the 3 he can explain away with alternative explanations.

in no way can someone explain a ship half above and below the horizon that's in full magnified view.

Ok i re-read the descriptions. it's all attributed to clouds and high waves. no where is there an explanation of how a boat could be in full view through a telescope AND half above and half below the horizon. no where in there.

so the picture i posted is unexplained to you.


That because ships dont disappear over the horizon , once they pass the wave front edge they begin to be affected by a visual distortion known as the mirror line - which is an optical inversion of itself and this effect rises because of perspective until this line of distortion rises enough to optically hide the boat as it travels out to sea.

I circumnavigated my neighborhood to, does that mean my neighborhood is a ball or that I just went around it.

Classic misdirection and misunderstanding on your part and why we even believe in Copernican BS theory in the first place - so English merchants had a reason to shut up sailors who dint want to sail far away from home and merchants could make more profit.

i posted one of thousands of pictures. some have VERY large object where clearly half of it is beneath water under telescopic magnification. if we were talking small object you may have a point, but the mirror line is not a mirror zone. it doesn't extend much outside of a small area, which clearly disappearing objects behind hte horizon do.

the problem with this is you can't simply admit something that anyone with a telescope can observe on a clear day of calm seas because it decimates your theory. it's not as if this takes some sort of NASA help to obsever, anyone with a 20$ telescope can observe it, it is beyond question. it is not distorted you can watch it disappear in real time, slowly ebbing away.

again mirror line (which is a real thing) =/= mirror zone.

your inability to acknowledge simply observable facts that put holes in your theory is the basis for your intellectual dishonesty, see how i acknowledge mirror lines but talk about how they aren't sufficient to hide large objects?

Iso your explanation of this tard_sultan: why must you take the Coriolis effect into account when making a 900+ yard shot if the earth is truly "stationary"

So do you think boats fly in the sky past the horizon to or can you identify the mirror line on these boats?

Are the mirror lines at the exact same point on these two ships or is one higher than the other?
