An aperture and a vanishing point are inextricably linked. No optical device, whether eye or Hubble Telescope, can observe a receding object forever. Yet, according to Cal Tech, "The farthest that Hubble has seen so far is about 10-15 billion light-years away." Let's do the math. 15,000,000,000 ("light-years") x 5,880,000,000,000 (miles in a "light-year") = 88,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles. That's 88.2 OCTILLION miles.

I have no idea what the rest of that is supposed to mean, but this - is nonsense.

Two things!

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Amongst the things these videos prove are how dumb your side is, how gullible you are, and how disingenuous your arguments are!

Three things. I'll come in again.

What's your point?

BTW, it's light that Hubble sees. And everyone sees that light too, it's just too dim for people to resolve. Light goes forever unless it's absorbed. Therefore, Hubble sees "forever" except for the light that hasn't yet reached it because stars may be too far away to have traveled to us in the last ~14 billion years.

Does Hubble actually exist according to flat-tards? I'm not up to speed on this.

Nope.

You don't say.

I actually got blocked by a FE account on twitter when I asked why the illuminated part of the moon always faces the sun, assuming the sun is farther away. He got really mad and blocked me after I sent him maybe 4 messages. That was pretty bad.

OK OK OK OK OK

Explain this clearly for me.

I can stand at the beach and notice a boat disappears. ERGO curvature

I can get in an airplane and go thousands of feet in the air, and see a perfectly straight line from left to right.

How is this compatible? Answer it plainly, don't add any insults or memes. Contribute to the discussion.

This is pretty good and I will be sharing this with others. Thanks.

BigOT - unblock Westley just to look at post #3916. It's worth it.

When you watch a boat sail away and disappear, you're watching 10 to 15 feet of the boat being hidden by the curvature. Do you expect to be able to look out a plane window at 10 or 15 miles of horizon and perceive 15 FEET of curvature?

How many times have you been flying over the ocean with no clouds anywhere to be seen?

What kind of curvature are you expecting to see when you're at most 7 miles from something when flying, that is 4000 miles in radius or 8k miles in diameter so less than 1/1000 of the diameter of earth? I think someone posted a video where you cut a orange which is a sphere and that's what you're seeing when on earth--the round "flat" circle" i.e. the horizon.

Yeah but you can see really far in every direction and the horizon is always in front of you, and never beneath you?

Weird

Are you referring to perspective? If I was on the top of a mt, lets say mt Everest, I’m pretty sure the horizon would be below me.

Disappointed in everyone not just letting this thread die after the putrid **** posted by those two about LV.

They don't even deserve this entertainment.

Right, and I'm "pretty sure" having an atmosplane in right next to the vacuum of space is possible.

Just like how you can throw ice cubes in a fire and watch them burn, right?

lol

Just like you’re pretty sure the earth is flat because you feel like it. Gtfo of here with your logically nonsense. Is the horizon above you on a tall mt, clue me in all knowing Oz.

Of course it is. You have to acknowledge gravity to understand it.

Theyre dozens of videos, reasons, contradictions, etc in the LV shooting. If you're so upset about it why don't you do yourself a favor and back out of the thread and keep your head in the sand somewhere else.

When you're on Earth or anywhere close to it, the distance to the horizon is the same in any direction, so it has to look straight. Once you reach a certain altitude, the curve becomes apparent, just as you can see the curve on a bowling ball. Many passengers on Concorde at 60,000 feet reported seeing the curve, and US reconnaissance pilots on U-2s and SR-71s have said that is the altitude where you start seeing it. Most people probably first saw it in the photographs that John Glenn took on his three orbits in 1962. In 1968, of course, the Apollo 8 crew took the first TV pictures and photographs showing the whole globe in space.

Not long ago I passed Mike Palin on the Heath. He was out for a run, in vest and shorts, and very red in the face. I thought, 'You know, that stuff isn't really good for you,' but obviously didn't say so.

I sometimes run into Terry Jones on the Heath as well, and he always greets me like an old friend, though I don't know him at all, we've just crossed paths now and then. He's got a particular form of dementia which leads people to greet anyone they think they might recognise, just in case -- 'Good morning!' he'll go brightly, at four in the afternoon -- so I just say hello back.

In b4 we hear that the Concorde, U-2s and SR-71s were all hoaxes.

I've seen U2's fly right over my head at about 300 feet, so I know they aren't CGI.

My gf saw U2 in concert. Confirmed real.
