$Can We Use the Apparent Horizon? - Nathans being Nathan The science denier community is trying to make hay with the idea of not being able to use bendy light and the apparent horizon. In this episode Bob looks at the error induced by uncorrected refraction in the Method Al Biruni. The dip correction on a sextant accounts not only for the curve of the earth but refraction as well. The result is a measurement from a horizontal plane. Remember to hit Like and Subscribe, your support of this channel is appreciated.
