All of that which your talking about is is LITERALLY described in the video, I can't give you 20 minutes of details in 10 seconds, which is why you won't learn shit and remain a dumb fuck, that is not my problem but yours.
 Quoting: Doctor Manhattan

You don't have to give me 20 minutes of details in 10 seconds, you just have to give me two numbers that, as you claim, are in the video.

Again:
Distance = 123 miles
Observer height = ? meters
Target height = ? meters
Refraction index = ? (we can use standard refraction since I assume that the video maker didn't measure it)
 Quoting: Hydra

As expected: bullshit video #51

Distance = 123 miles
Observer height = 63 meters (Point Dume, Malibu)
Target height = 3302 meters (Mt. San Jacinto)

Applying standard refraction 1880 meters of Mt. San Jacinto is hidden and 1422 meters are visible.

The buildings visible in the foreground are from the Marina del Rey at a distance of 31 km. Given the observers height, less then 10 cm are hidden of the buildings.

Why do these flat-earth-distance-fuckwits never take atmospheric refraction into account? Is it on purpose, to deliberately deceive the watchers, or is it stupidity?

 Quoting: Hydra


The mountains should not be visible, if the curve were true (your having a functional disconnect here).

But they are, which means, there is no curve. Refraction or not, it would not cause the entire mountain range that would be behind a curve to magically appear over the horizon. Refraction/mirages do not work that way at all.

The only thing visible at that camera altitude if we were on a globe, would be a section of the top of the mountains - but instead we can clearly see it way more than just the peak, some of it hidden obviously because of distance and where the sky meets the land horizon line, but at that distance its called convergence and the image gets so tiny it gets compressed visually but nothing drastic like a mirage, and it certainly would not magically lift a mountain over the horizon because were using infared. It means were not a globe. It's hard to swallow I get it.

I don't get why so many refuse to see that, the end result is better anyway and more logical, God is real. Would you rather God not be real and us a random speck like they want to sell you, because the price ain't worth it.
