Black Swan Observation Revisited(And How it Doesn't Prove a Flat Earth)

[@FlatEarthKiller]

1:20 Spoiler Alert: we do see some land to the right.

Globe proofs are common observation. I'm more surprised that Taboo Conspiracy's voice is still as annoying as it was 2 years ago...

[@FlatEarthKiller]

You literally can see the excitement in his voice at around 0:24

2:50 I’m confused on that 9 miles thing, what was that about ? Distance to what

[@Proto34-w2r]

Also this is jetpond. I was shadowbanned somehow lost access to my account KZbin won’t give it back, and about half my comments on that entire account are deleted now

@@Proto34-w2r Taboo said to multiply the observer height in feet and multiply by 1.22, hence why i got the 9.76 miles figure. I may have done the maths done wrong, though. 8x1.22=9.76 1.22x8=9.76 8 divided by 1.22 = 6.55737704918033

@@FlatEarthKiller well it’s 1.2 √h but it’s still perfectly fine with atmospheric refraction. Because first you do the square root of 8; then multiply that by 1.2 So it’s 1.2 √8 1.2 (2.8284) = 3.45 So it does give the result he showed in his video, But agajn, it’s perfectly good with atmospheric refraction. Refraction can allow us to see very far

[@FlatEarthKiller]

I see. Thats why i said i may have used the math wrong. I’m not really good at math, tbh.

[@Proto34-w2r]

@@FlatEarthKiller correction to myself It’s 1.2 (2.8284) I had it as 1.2 (1.8284)

Distortion is not refraction.

[@FlatEarthKiller]

@@philindeblanc It is.

[@philindeblanc]

@@FlatEarthKiller I work in optics. It is not. you are wrong. You can claim it to be all you want. You will be wrong doing so. If you want help with it, let me know what makes you think something refracting has anything to do with something distorting. They are 2 separate descriptors. And when you say they are the same, you make yourself sound like a broken record.

[@FlatEarthKiller]

@@philindeblanc In some instances, distortion is refraction, this is one of them, answer this. Why is the crane crooked?

[@philindeblanc]

@@FlatEarthKiller can you see my longer reply with the reason why its distorted that explains it for you simple and true?

[@FlatEarthKiller]

@@philindeblanc They may be two different descriptors, but one can make another occur, which in this case happens. Why is the crane crooked?
