- The wikipedia link contains citations to scientific refences for terrestrial refraction. You can by all means look it up.
- This is basic stuff - we both know this is the accepted scientifically position, and there are experiments and information to support it. As I said : demanding evidence is a rhetorical tactic you use so you don’t have to provide an argument. If you think something I‘m claiming is wrong - make that claim so that I have you on record saying something is untrue - and get shown to be false.
- If you recall. Both visual examples were taken from the video of mobile bay where you claimed there was no curvature - and I went through and systematically estimated the curvature - showing an identical amount of curvature to what was expected. I highlighted a picture of a crane, and the USS Alabama to show that the proportions of the image did not match the real world images - showing linear compression at the bottom portion : which is what you would see if according to terrestrial refraction.

Scientific method: noun; a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.
The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about.

Your using this as a dishonest and rhetorical tactic to contest the minutae of every scientific claim - no matter how trivial - in order to deflect the work load onto the person your arguing against.
This is a form of changing the burden of proof - and a standard you yourself do not hold yourself to, Given that the majority of your threads involve myself or someone else demonstrating via scientific principles that your claims are wrong: followed by pages and pages of your trying to avoid providing any scientific justifications for your claims.
Hence, whenever you call into questions rudimentary science - I will ask whether you are claiming it is wrong. If you don’t think it’s wrong - then no work is needed, If you think it’s wrong, then I can link the evidence to objectively show that claim is false - if you are not sure, I will be happy to link you to a Wikipedia article or summary so you can educate yourself on the basics before continuing a discussion on a topic you don’t understand.
