Walter Bislin Calculator Lake Michigan View of Chicago

Published 2018-06-25
Sounds boring, actually, it's fascinating how the Flat Earthers carefully cherry-pick the numbers that make this view seem preposterous if the earth were spherical. Joshua Nowicki is carefully monitoring lake temperatures and meteorological conditions to make an educated guess on whether the refractive index of the superior mirage above Lake Michigan can give him the .28 degrees refraction that allows him to see the top 900 feet or so of these 1100 feet high buildings.
Of course, in addition to cherry picking the number of feet below the horizon the base of the building is to make viewing on the real earth sound preposterous, the FEs also strip credit from Joshua Nowicki, a professional photographer and remove all Nowicki's explanitory notes when the FEs publish the ripped photos as "proof of flat earth." Nowicki is most likely pretty peeved about these deceptive (and illegal) tactics.

Good demonstration! Thanks for sharing. Been looking for a decent curve calculator to use.

Bs, I have seen the pictures. You can see the buildings day and night.

Great analysis. To bad FE'ers don't understand how perspective and refraction really works. Of course this is why they believe in a flat earth.
