And if you could also see Cedar point as a mirage from Canada

Hilarious begging the question fallacy.

If you want this channel about railroad maintenance ruclips.net/user/ccrx6700 you will learn that railroads spend time and effort to make railroad tracks as level as possible to reduce wear and tear on the rail and the trains and cars riding on them. The section of railroad I used is actually slightly elevated at the far end, perhaps 1 foot or so. Which further reduces any chance of curvature drop occurring here. There is no real refraction here, the optical phenomenon is actually diffraction, the light rays are colliding and interfering with each other. This was not an observation of flatness, this was an observation that diffraction causes, in this case an entire person to disappear and meld into the scene. So what can happen over short distance close to a surface can also happen at greater distances with the observing point next to a surface, especially one with a high reflective index, like water.

​@@RayleighCriterionheated metal rails warms the air above causing light to go through different densities of air, distorting the image and the real position of the man. That is refraction, don't know why you would try to deny that. Also I won't take your word about elevation.

​@@oswald9723 Nice cope

@@planereality3675 you forgot to put an argument in your Gen z slang

A limited angle will do that

@@siman6488 It even prove curvature, on the surface you can't see the buildings bottom, but if you raise your elevation higher then you will see the rest

@@phatsmall2007 incorrect, the distance would make the bottom unresolvable. The limited angle is to small to the bottom of the towers to resolve.

@@siman6488 Nope..You can watch here on RUclips there are several other Chicago skyline clips from 23 miles, 36 miles and 50+ miles, and the building getting even lower obscured by the water from the farthest distance. Definitely due to curvature, not about angle

It is not curvature, it is an optical illusion caused by Angular Resolution, Inverse Square Law and the Law of Reflections. My railroad videos have shown that curvature is not needed to make objects disappear. Because the tiny surface area of the bottom of the buildings are several magnitudes less reflective than tens of miles of water surface.

Imagine my chagrin when I saw short people sitting in the exit aisle seats, seats that tall people like myself need. The views out the windows wasn't that great anyway, too much cloud cover that was just blinding from the bright sun.

Just a bit of Physics regarding the Diffraction of Light www.olympus-lifescience.com/en/microscope-resource/primer/lightandcolor/diffraction/

This is diffraction caused by light bending through the small opening of the camera www.olympus-lifescience.com/en/microscope-resource/primer/lightandcolor/diffraction/

@@RayleighCriterionI am still thinking it looks rather like a mirage, formed by the temperature gradient in the air above the rails. The light is not diffracting around a corner, through a slit or a diffraction grating.

No way!! What are the odds!!!!

Yes, the story picks up and gets better after episode 4. I found it enjoyable to watch.

ohhh yes, but if you've already seen 3 episodes and are now asking something like that, you're not worth watching this masterpiece

​@@robz537It's not a masterpiece, not even close but that doesn't mean it's bad either nor is it good. It's like the 1st season of The Witcher enough to make you want more seasons, mostly because of the lack of satisfaction with how it ended cause i have more questions than answers than I've first started watching and some forced writing, a good example is how the main characters meet each other. All i can say in favour of the tv show is that it's better than Fallout 4's main story. This shows a solid 6 or 7 out of 10. Hope they improve if not it's gonna be another Witcher.

If you don’t like it after 3 episodes you probably aren’t gonna like it at all.

No, it's f qing shi. If you believe in human dignity and all that is good, do not watch this. You might die.

My backyard, which isn't too far from the boarder. I had planned to go further south towards Buffalo to be closer to the totality, but the cloud cover there was not cooperating.

I can use any desk globe and a tape measure to tell you any distance between any two points on earth and it will match reality, every time for every distance. Be a love and let me know which scaled flat world map I can use to achieve this same basic function. Ta muchly.

Thanks for the sub!

It couldn't hurt as the previous setup was really pulling on the cable the wrong way, enough to cause one of the cables to begin fraying but no further fraying has happened since the newer setup.
