You had an idea for an experiment and I don't understand it because you kind rambled through it and didn't explain it well.
It's literally the exact same as your experiment except it's far enough away that you don't have to care or measure the exact angle of the laser, only whether or not it's visible.
You make the target a camera lens instead of piece of cardboard.
No ultra accurate leveling device is needed... Just repeated moving flashes in a general direction that can be done by hand. And you either see the flashes from across the lake, or you don't.
At a distance of 200 miles on a curved earth the light would not be visible... But on a flat earth you should still be able to see the flashes even if only briefly...
Record even one flash from that distance and you win...
No, at a distant of 200 miles it would not be visible on a flat plane due to Beers law. I asked you to catch up on that concept and then I explained why, photons are deflectwd by particles in the air.
This, if the surface of earth was a hard vacuum, then you would still only be able to see within the optical range of your lense, considering your elevation.
So, I'm sorry but, you're wrong again. It's ok. The supposed curvature of the earth is so steep that it's laughable how obvious the globe deception is, once you apply reasoning and you're not afraid to admit you were tricked
Airborne lasers. The range of the ABL system (on the order of 200 miles) and its mission of boost phase intercept against Scud missiles, rather than ICBMs, would greatly limit its utility against Russia or China, where missile silos are at considerably greater distances than 200
miles from their borders
Practicality: The range of the YAL-1s COIL is only 200 miles, meaning that it would need to penetrate hostile airspace to counter ballistic missile launches
200 miles is only it's EFFECTIVE range... Meaning the range at which the laser still carries enough energy to destroy a missile. If you are measuring how far the light might be still be detectable from it's going to be SIGNIFICANTLY farther than 200 miles.
And lastly, your fucking idea of eyeballing a laser pointer using a lake and calling it level is stupid because that's subjective and allows you to point the laser wherever you want.
You will simply coordinate with someone on the other side adjusting the laser in the slightest increments until it hit's exactly where you want and then you will call it "perfectly level" with no objective instrument to verify your claim and a source of "trust me bro, I looked at it real good".
I'm not unblocking you FYI.... Just debunking your final red herring.... Well, I'm sure not your FINAL red herring... Just the final one I'm gonna put up with....
Why would I add an angle to the laser? You a bubble level. Use a strong laser.
Shine across a lake because you know it has to be unsubstructed by plants and stuff, and you make sure that you are pointing strait.
Do it 12 inches above the surface or 6 feet above. It's the same. Laser goes straight, that's how they work.
So, if the earth curves, then the target that is 12 inches exactly, above the water, or 6 feet, whatever, gets a laser pointer right on target. Ok if it's off by an inches., but it's not. Its maybe a cm or 2. Doesn't matter. The laser pointer should be off by more than 16 inches over just 2 miles.
It's just math and observations. You can do it yourself. Then go bitch at someone else about your crazy mental gymnastics you tried instead of just thinking logically for 2 minutes. You spastic fuck.
You just don't understand the point. It beers law, it physics. I'm just relaying the law of physics you should know.
Particles reflect light. and light cannot show through that far on the surface.
But, from 50,000 feet, from a spy plane using high powered lasers, then sure, they can write whatever they want you can't verify anything.
You're biggest problem is that you refuse simplicity.
You have very basic logic holes.
First, you can watch laser tests performed by people smarter than yourself if you know how use the internet. And, if you weren't such a pussy, you would just look up on a curve calculator, how much the earth curves over a few miles.
It's SO MUCH that a decent quality laser and a bubble level is accurate enough to observe the missing curve. Ie, the last shines across the lake at the pretty much the same height.
We are not dealing with millimetres. So being perfectly level isn't nessesary. You failed to understand even though you wrong quoted 6 inches curve over a mile. Still, that's huge and easy to observe without needing higher accuracy Lazer or set up.
So, you have lost again, both the same points you already lost about...doubling down against physics doesn't work. Beers law is just reality, and even if you aren't willing to use your brain to cope with reality, and you rather have other sources think for you, it doesn't change the fact light cannot shine through atmosphere forever. Not even the sun can. That's why you can't see the sun light at night. 😜
No, at a distant of 200 miles it would not be visible on a flat plane due to Beers law.
Not going down another ridiculous side-track with you. Every single one you've sent me down so far has been total bullshit. This one would be no different.
You're just trying to change the subject because I just proved you can't hold the laser level at a distance of 2 miles.
Tell me how you managed to determine that eyeballing the laser next to a lake is more accurate than a construction level... which would still leave you off by 64 inches at 2 miles.

BTW...... Here's what the internet has to say about your claim that the atmosphere makes it impossible to shine a laser 200 miles.
200 miles is only it's EFFECTIVE range... Meaning the range at which the laser still carries enough energy to destroy a missile. If you are measuring how far the light might be still be detectable from it's going to be SIGNIFICANTLY farther than 200 miles.
