142) “People claim
that if the Earth were flat, they should be able to use a telescope and see
clear across the oceans! This is absurd, however, as the air is full of
precipitation especially over the oceans, and especially at the lowest, densest
layer of atmosphere is NOT transparent. Picture the blurry haze over roads on
hot, humid days. Even the best telescope will blur out long before you could
see across an ocean. You can, however, use a telescope to zoom in MUCH more of
our flat Earth than would be possible on a ball 25,000 miles in circumference.”
Actually, sort of true. A little bit, but not much. However..
So the explanation here isn't bad. Yes, images lose coherence over such
a distance that they probably won't be visible over long distances.
However, things like 'pulsing' lights have far longer visibility, and
can even be found in the 'light signal' of a photodiode if they aren't visible
with the naked eye. I had to do this for an experiment once; it is one of the
many techniques to evade strong (white) noise.
The explanation does certainly fail, however, when you notice that the
horizon-distance is such that under normal circumstances, they obey the formula
found using the non-flat earth theory. And, what's more, when you don't find it
you do find non-normal circumstances...
Luckily, the point ends with a claim made without explanation or
foundation.
Again, the "blurry haze" is called refraction and it has nothing to do with magnification. Secondly, utilizing radio/radar we can thoroughly debunk the claim that we can't see the earth beyond the horizon because of atmospheric obstruction. And again, the following video sums up the logical inconsistencies of the so-called "law of perspective" and explains how radar/radio disprove the weather/atmosphere-claim:
