Ya, whats the angular component?

It’s roughly the measure of the angle difference between the light coming from the top of the object and the bottom of it as it enters the eye/reciever. If that angle is too small, we can’t resolve the image.

Resolution limits too

They are generally one and the same, and caused by the same thing - the physical concentration of light detectors and the method of processing the image.

Or just a pixel thing?

Same thing as the resolution limits above, just a different word.

I would say out of optical range when something is too small to see.

I agree, however the term i used also implies that the object’s light is actually still reaching the observer/detector - it just can’t be resolved into an object due to lack of adequate resolution.

The boat, which is about 5 miles or more out to sea, and still there is visable horizon behind it.

True.

So how could a curve be possible? Its not. Thus, earth must be flat.

In the view of the globe believers, the horizon and its ability to hide distant objects from the bottom up and reveal them from the top down as they approach is the curve.

In both their view, and ours - the boats in this video are not far enough out to be hidden by the horizon (which is itself an optical illusion, as well as the setting/rising phenomena of distant objects interacting with it). That is why we can zoom in and see them. When they are further than that point, and are truly hidden “beyond the horizon” - zooming in will not bring them back.

It is a logical error to assume that the ability for the horizon to obscure distant objects is proof of a globe. Likewise, and for the same reasons, it is also a logical error to assume that observations like this prove it flat.

They are still following politics like democracy is real

The tv/screens are bad for our health :( Especially if you believe what you see on them is true!

Anyway, it is my view that it is up to us who see to help the others - if we can. We’ll have to keep trying! Repetition works on everyone.
