To be able to zoom on on distant objects. Why do ships have masts for a the spotter to sit on if theres no curvature and elevation is irrelevant? How come with a powerful enough telescope i cant see austin from the oklahoma devon tower? And iv yet to see someone zoom in on the horizon only for a ship to magically appear from nowhere, only bring into focus whats already there. Its pretty easy to test this at any sufficiently large body of water
well because obv the higher you are the further you can see and there are plenty of vids of people not being able to see a ship with naked eye but can with a camera zoom or telescope. what your seeing with your eyes is a limited amount. think pixels on a tv, for example a tv that is 1080p compared to one that is 4k is a huge difference, its the same with our eyes, after a certain distance we cant see because of that, fog, waves etc etc but with a telescope that is enhanced and zoomable.
"well because obv the higher you are the further you can see"
Why is that, magic? Its because the higher you are the more you can see over the horizon. Given the earth curves about 8 inches per mile squared the crows nest allows you to see about 40 to 50 miles over what the deck can. And you've just explained why the telescope lets you see things you cant with the naked eye yourself, it brings them into focus. Keep the telescope on said object as it moves away from you and you'll watch it dissappear over the horizon, no amount of zooming will bring it back into view after only a couple miles at sea level.
With your logic, a sufficiently powerful telescope could see across the entire damn ocean but obviously it cannot, not even if youre standing on a skyscraper. I should be able to see the lowlands of Louisiana from the devon tower here in Oklahoma, but i cannot. All of this is basic stuff that can be tried at home, as iv done myself. Seems a bit moronic to invest yourself into something as groundbreaking as "the earth is flat" and just take someones word for it, just go to the ocean and bring a good telescope or camera. Stand on top of a skyscraper and look for landmasses that should be hidden by the [very visible] curve, you wont find them. This is pretty basic stuff, theres a reason we teach it to children.
Sorry, but thats some of the dumbest shit iv ever seen. Look at his math, hes 50 miles away and admits the 8 inch per square mile curve. That leaves only 33 feet obscured, meaning only a fraction of the 3-400 foot skyscrapers. That video was made either by a retard that cant do math or a shill who knew you wouldn't question it. Dont be gullible, and dont just take my word for it. Do the math yourself with the figures hes given
Edit: his math is even dumber than i realized, why the fuck is he multiplying? Hes 50 miles away. 8 inches per mile of curve. This leaves 33.4 feet obscured, aka the height of a ships mast. I even already pointed out that masts let ships see an extra 50 miles. Come on man wtf is this
