Warum ist der Horizont so gerade? Martha Schalleck fragt W hy I s T he Horizon A S traight Line ? We Asked the AI S ystem ChatGPT „ ChatGPT , how far can I see on the ocean due to earth curvature ?“ „ Roughly 3 miles “ „ ChatGPT , what shape does the horizon have ?“ „ The horizon is curved because we live on a globe .“ „ ChatGPT , where on earth do we see a curved horizon ? “ ? Calculating : How F ar Can We See On The Ocean ? The Earth Curve Calculator works out how far we can see on the ocean ( or a level plane) to the horizon The higher the observer stands (h0), the further away his horizon ( On the ocean , the horizon marks the borderline between water and heaven .) Example : At an observer hight h0 of 2 m (6 ́ 5 ́ ́ ft) we can see roughly 5 km (3 miles ) to the horizon (d1). Here is the borderline between heaven and water . Behind this line we cannot see any water surface because of the curvature This of course applies to all directions , whether before me , left or right , or behind me. Clock of R ocks in the Ocean – What Does the Visual Range Tell Us Regarding the Shape of the Horizon ? Imagine a small island in the middle of the ocean Around this , are 12 large rocks , situated like the face on a clock . All rocks are at the same distance to the observer , at the exact visual range on the globe : 5 km. The rocks thus form a circle around us Some rocks lie before us , some to the left and right , and some behind us We are situated right in the center on a small sandy island What do we see in a 180 - degree view , looking in one direction ? How would the horizon that is being marked by the rocks appear to the viewer ? 12 6 3 9 Clock of rocks view from abov e Again : We are surrrounded by 12 large rocks , each at a distance of 5 km. This means , each rock marks the exact horizon line . Due to curvature , there is no water visible behind the horizon . So there is no water behind any of the rocks Each rock marks the borderline between heaven and water . Behind each rock, we see heaven instead of water . Thus, on a globe , we find ourselves in the middle of a circle of water surface , which is in this example marked by the rocks And how does this circle horizon appear to us ? Due to perspective , we see the circle that is lying before us in the shape of an ellipse The elliptical horizon is inevitable , when we apply the accepted scientific data about the visual range on the globe . ( When we draw equally long lines in different directions from one center point , we get a circle .) n ot true to scale Picture 1: Clock of rocks on the globe : elliptical horizon In reality , the horizon is a straight line If one of the 12 rocks lies exactly on the horizon line , then there will be water behind the other rocks up to the straight horizon - Nowhere on earth are there horizon ellipses There are only horizon lines This is why we don ́ t live on a globe Come agai n ?! Because on a globe , the horizon in the ocean would form a circle (an ellipse due to perspective ) around us and because this never occurs , we don ́ t live on a globe You can test it yourself at the beach . Look straight at the horizon and stretch your arms out to the left and right (3 and 9 o ́ clock ). If your horizon shows no sign at all of curving towards where your hands are pointing , you don ́ t live on a globe not true to scale Picture 2: Clock of rocks in reality : straight line horizon The Clock of Rock s : Where Are We Really : ... On a Glob e ? ... Or on a Flat Earth ? Curved horizo n The earth curvature limits the horizon equally in each direction , depending only on observer hight Straight horizon Lense performance sets the limit to the personal horizon as well as air conditions and observer hight Biblical World View Scientific World V iew Picture 1: Clock of rocks on the globe : elliptical horizon Picture 2: Clock of rocks in reality : straight line horizon hc = 5 km Due to perspective , the 5 km distance straight from the observer to the horizon appear the shortest . The same 5 km distance more to the left or to the right of the center appear longer This is called „ foreshortening of the perspective “. (This effect is also the reason why we see a circle from an angle as an ellipse .) In order to work out the actual distances from observer to different points on the horizon , we would need some data about fixed points in our view . The math is also very complicated The clock of rocks however , demonstrates beyond question that perspective cannot explain a continuous straight horizon It shows that the horizon must form a curve around us on a globe Somewhere , this horizon line must bend around us , when we have a 180 - degree view of the water Thus, foreshortening of perspective cannot explain how the observed endless straight line horizon could occur on a globe b = 5 km? a = 5 km? Could the Horizon Merely Appear as a Straight Line While in Reality, It ́ s a Circle? But Objects Are Cut Off at the Bottom in the Distance ! Yes, ships disappear lower half first in the distance . This has always been a number one argument for the globe . But this phenomenon is in reality explained by two well known , testable physical effects : - Refraction : Air humidity scatters the light and pulls the object downward like a magnifying glas. - Angular Resolution : Ou r lense performance is no longer sufficient to discern what belongs to the object ( the ship ) and what is ocean water If this is the reason for the disappearing of objects , we can easily zoom the whole object in again with a more capable camera . Objects that have disappeard behind the curve could never be zoomed back in again Video about refraction , e.g. bitchute.com (Rob Skiba) Refraction , Perspective , and The Atmosphere Video about angular resolution , e.g. bitchute .com Flat Earth Zoom Proofs (Kanal voiceofyah ) Warum ist der Horizont so gerade? Martha Schalleck fragt So, Once Again : Why Is The Horizon A Straight Line? Warum ist der Horizont so gerade? Martha Schalleck fragt An swer : Because the Bible Tells the Truth Jesus I s R eal W e Are L iars and Sinners , and the Earth is Not a Globe. I love each and everyone of you , my truth seeking brothers and sisters , beloved children of the Most High God Jesus died for you as well . He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. Whosoever believes in Him , shall be saved . Beautiful, eternal life instead of eternal torment Testable e xperiment : Ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you – in case He is real. Read the New Testament with an open heart , two times , if possible. Whosever calls on His Name, in his plight , even in his last minute , will be saved Please , never forget this www.martha - schalleck.de Read PDF, Download PDF, and German Video and PDF via www.martha - schalleck.de Rights: Public Domain Picture Ocean: Kelly Churchman via Pexels.com, free use Other Pictures: Public Domain also (via wikimedia ) Please feel free to re - upload
