AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the relationship between apparent height and real height over distance, questioning whether it follows a specific law. Initial experiments suggest a linear relationship rather than an inverse square law, with measurements indicating that apparent height decreases as distance increases. Participants noted that doubling the distance resulted in a halving of apparent height, leading to the conclusion that the relationship can be expressed as apparent height equals a constant divided by distance. This indicates a potential linear relationship rather than a more complex mathematical model. Overall, the findings suggest a straightforward correlation between distance and perceived height.

Anyone ever wondered what law pespective follows? If there is one... I mean a relationship between apparent height and real height over a distance. I was going to try an experiement if I ever get round to it. I'll be disapointed if its just another inverse square law :biggrin:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I just did a quick exp then and I think its a linear relationship.
 
I tried it with the lights at work and it didn't seem to be I'll try again lol
 
Well i held a phone x distance awy nad held a ruler to my eye and measured the apparent height, and then i moved the phone 2x away and the height increased lineraly (i think!)
 
Hmm found a ruler. I seem to get it as it halfs with doubling the distance. So is that 1/d? Can't think tonight.
 
Yep - linear relationship

Apparent height = k/distance

where k is a constant

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
