Here's an abc57 piece talking about the picture taken of the Chicago skyline from the Michigan shoreline at 60 miles away.
https://www.abc57.com/news/mirage-of-chicago-skyline-seen-from-michigan-shorelineIt should be impossible. Chicago should be hidden below the horizon 2000 feet. But they give an explanation.
A picture of the Chicago skyline taken almost 60 miles away, is actually a mirage.
But it can't be a mirage because a mirage is an inverted image created by a reflection. But they explain this away.
This is a form of Superior Mirage, superior in this meaning the mirage or image of the skyline is seen above where it's actually located.
Convenient wouldn't you say? Lol. Except for the fact they provide a link that explains what a "superior mirage" actually is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fata_Morgana_(mirage)A superior mirage can be right-side up or upside-down, depending on the distance of the true object and the temperature gradient. Often the image appears as a distorted mixture of up and down parts.
Now I personally have questions about this. Like how would distance or temperature negate the inversion of a reflection? That just doesn't make any sense. This phenomenon only occurs when somebody is trying to explain why an object is visible when it shouldn't be. There's literally no other example of a reflection negating inversion other than this scenario but let's assume it does even though that's retarded. It's still a reflection off of the atmosphere, or what I like to call the either, that is at a distance of at least 2000 feet above it and the atmosphere isn't a set object. It is comprised of gases that are not uniformly set and therefore would have distortion.
Here's the earth curvature calculator.
https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/earth-curvatureSo can anyone explain how the skyline is casting a perfect non-inverted reflection 2000 feet above it and point out the "distorted mixture of up and down parts" that would occur due to the reflective surface being compromised of moving gasses that are not uniformly set?
And if you claim refraction can achieve such an effect, can you give an example of this phenomenon on a smaller scale? Because if it can't be reproduced on a smaller scale, then your argument is no different than telling me the Holocaust happened simply because people said it did.

I will restrain myself from calling out your obvious - lets call it "naivety" - that require you to simply default to calling someone kiked or kike by not holding your point of view. This just as a courtesy given the fact that you provided calculations which seem to fit your narrative but avoid other variables.
Regarding your app in the phone.That is irrelevant as well, and the reason for that is that in several pictures I have looked for which were taken from the same place, the mirage is not showing up. And I did this little research again as courtesy given the fact that you provided calculations. But then again... fitting your narrative.
Wrong. You are taking just one part of the definition to fit your narrative. The first definition is: "an optical phenomenon, especially in the desert or at sea, by which the image of some object appears displaced above, below, or to one side of its true position as a result of spatial variations of the index of refraction of air."
It doesn't necessarily means that it always have to be inverted. Specially not from a place that can reflect the light, such as the sea.
Additionally, what do you call an illusion of an oasis in the Desert? You don't see that inverted. You see it above the ground in the horizon due to what? a mirage.
What you tell me falls beside the point. Flat earthers always try to use some part of the whole scheme at convenience of what they want to say and when proven wrong the default into tantrums just as I have seen you do in your entire post.
"Muh people don't agree with me... they are kikes..."
It doesn't help your position and instead of proving to be right you keep digging your own hole where to crawl.
You asked for proofs, you can easily research pictures of the same place with different weather conditions in which the mirage does not appear. And see that in fact the illusion is posible.
If your reply is going to be something in the sorts of "muh you kiked or dumb" thing... well refrain from doing it... You can only project so much when you are incapable of listening to others, or agree to disagree... so in that tone... fuck off we are full.
