on a flat earth the train tracks would only appear to converge, then under higher magnification they would reappear. On a round earth the items disappear over the horizon, under magnification you still wouldn't be able to see past a certain point.
The best that a flat earther can do to "explain" this, as anyone with a telescope can go out and test this phenomenon, is to create terms with "clouding" in them.
The same concept applies to a boat half above and half below the horizon on a clear day under magnification. the best flat earthers can do is to again claim "clouding" or even more pathetically claim the swell is the cause even when there is no swell or clouds.
your ideology can't explain a boat past the horizon, it just simply cant. i know u cant grasp that but maybe some day you will.
always fun to watch u spin your wheels though, you're basically victorino. but instead of Beta this and Alpha that you're just spewing terms you picked up on a weird FE forum.
All you need to do is get a pair of binoculars and actually view a boat past the horizon and see its not going over the curve at all, it become subject to the effect of the raising mirror line caused by the atmospheric lensing of magnifying your view past where the ground becomes optical viewable.
I know you can't understand words to well so maybe you'll do better with pictures?
