Oh, I figured why you ask "how do you come up with 2.74 miles". I thought you knew this, sorry.

The phenomenon is called Fata Morgana. The visual horizon appears to be way behind the platforms. But the physical horizon isn't there, it's a different thing, it stands at 2.74 miles from the observer. You would need an ass long stick to measure it physically, your eyes won't help measuring it.

It's not a Fata Morgana. The next thing you come up with is refraction.

There are laser experiments and countless observations that we can see too far. As I said, I don't want to convince you and this argument is bullshit in my opinion. You can believe in your cgi balls in the sky. I really don't care.

Fata Morgana will affect lasers just as much as sun light. You should know that, light is light. Fata Morgana is just hot air acting like a lens.

You tried to convince me that according to "my" model (it's not mine) the platforms shouldn't be seen. I proved to you mathematically that they should. Only 30 feet are behind the physical horizon, optic illusions and sea level aside. So they should be visible just as they are, because the platforms are much higher.

You tried to prove Flat Earth theory to me and failed. Instead of admitting your defeat you proceed to degrade the language in an attempt to offend, pretending that you "don't care". I think that you do care, and that's OK.
