clear air turbulence
if you use a telescope it happens sometimes where the atmosphere calms down in your scope sight
the lower the object is on the horizon the more distortion you see since there is more atmosphere between you and the object you are viewing

>The ageing process of a particle in a superluminal system (1+3), observed from a subluminal system (3+1), would look as if the particle was moving like a spherical wave, leading to the famous Huygens principle (every point on a wavefront can be treated itself as a source of a new spherical wave) and corpuscular-wave dualism.
That’s the money shot right there
Here’s the thread where I talked about this topic:

time is woven into the spatial dimensions
that's why it's 4D (3 spatial and 1 temporal)
special and general relativity cover this topic quite well
it's called "minksowski space"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_space

>In mathematical physics, Minkowski space (or Minkowski spacetime) is a combination of three-dimensional Euclidean space and time into a four-dimensional manifold where the spacetime interval between any two events is independent of the inertial frame of reference in which they are recorded.

>our brain constructs a single image from two eyeballs and projects this hologram outside and we perceive "geometries" but we fail to understand that there is no such thing as a simultaneous "geometry" due to the fact that what we are seeing with our vision (light) is a projection that has built-in delays (depending on relative distance to your eye) that our brain compensates for in order to construct a single image where you have depth-perception and can track motion
this delays and relative distances have more pronounced effects at larger scales
hence the silliness of the question "what is the shape of the earth"
it's nonsensical since there is no simultaneous shape at that size, relative to how big humans are
