Commons talk:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems

Clarification

Count Count got me wrong. There are two components, that work together, when the hull of a ship dissapears on an ocean with waves. I would never support the absurd pseudoscience of the flat-earth people. I didn't even know, that they abuse the aspect of perspective effects for their nonsense. Perspective is one component, curvation of the earth is anonother component. Both together lead to the visible phenomenon, that the hull of the ship seems to go down. If the earth would be flat, it would take a much longer distance, until it disappears. Because the earth is (off course) spherical, it disappears sooner than it would only due to the other component alone. I studied geography at the University of Frankfurt am Main. I am a college teacher for geography and biology. I represent here only the scientifically undisputed proven views, which I share with all other natural scientists here. My point was that the example with the ship is not such a good proof, because you cannot explain the phenomenon monocausally, unless you see it on an ocean completely without waves. This is a correct animation on an ocean without waves [1]. We should show something like that in our articles. Sciencia58 (talk) 10:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

• @Sciencia58: What is the context of this, what does it have to do with Wikimedia Commons, and, in particular, how is this a problem about a user that calls for administrative action? - Jmabel ! talk 03:25, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
• And now I see this is on the talk page of the Administrator's noticeboard, which makes even less sense. - Jmabel ! talk 03:26, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

  I don't know. There was once a misunderstanding, but that has long since been cleared up. This section could have been archived already. Sciencia58 (talk) 14:19, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
