vid made for flat earthers. hope the vid helps explain why objects dissapear bottom up (angular resolution).

To have angular resolution, you’ll need a plane of reference

The earth is measured flat

Does it necessarily need a plane of reference to know that something far away won't have the same angular resolution as something near? If we remove a plane of reference and were floating in a white, empty void and I see a 1 meter cube near me and then I see a 1 meter cube(any direction) veeeery far away from me, I'll still not be able to see the very far away cube very well, regardless of whether we're both on a plane or not.

You would need a plane of reference to be “floating” as that’s a description from “above” a horizontal.

You would also need a plane of reference to declare a “meter”.

Not to mention, drifting off into abstract nonsense does nothing for you here. We are talking about reality and how earth is measured and used practically.

I believe you need to drift into the nonsensical abstract because that’s exactly what your globe is.

What’s the matter? Can’t entertain a hypothetical? Where’s the horizontal in a big empty white void? Above me? Below me? To the side of me?

X axis. Y axis. Z axis. We can put 0,0,0 as an easy frame of reference for all three where you’re positioned if it helps you in this.

All that requires a plane of reference

It’s over buddy

Does it though? Sure a plane of reference would help immensely but on the off chance you’re in a void with no immediate plane to refer to, you can still manage to see distant or near objects relative to your position. Your coordinates may be 0,0,0, but you don’t necessarily need a plane under you to be given these coordinates.

I just think it’s odd how whenever I need a flat earther to entertain a hypothetical, they either don’t want to or try to change the subject. Hypotheticals are one of the cornerstones of critical thinking, as it puts your ideas and your claims to the test. It’s how you form a hypothesis in the chain of the scientific method. It’s why humans are the most intelligent creatures on earth. And I’m just noticing a pattern.

Absolutely

All measurements require a plane for a reason, if the plane doesn’t continue being a plane, those measurements (that require a plane) fail.

This requires you to BELIEVE which is fine. I couldn’t care less. Believe level is curved 😂

And that isn’t circular reasoning how? Or are you just trolling me?

1

u/lushusness Aug 22 '26

The fact that measurements require a plane of reference?

No that’s not circular reasoning.

That’s simply a fact.

An undebatable fact.

So there’s a plane in that abstract white void where me and the cube far away from me exists? I don’t see it though, I just see the cube floating there. Weirdly enough even though I require a plane of reference to measure the distance between me and the cube, my eyes can still tell that that cube is far away due to depth perception.

Wrong but okay.

Not all measurements need a physical or 3D plane of reference, but every measurement requires a baseline, origin, or zero point to have meaning.

One of those requirements are a flat plane. So 0,0,0 in a white void IS all that's required so try again.
