There are different ways to measure visibility, however: Objects with different colors and textures are visible through fog at different distances.

Materials • 20 feet of straight sidewalk or hallway • Sidewalk chalk or two small objects to mark off 20 feet of distance • Tape measure • At least three volunteers to walk a short distance (Ideally, they should be different heights.)

As for the very early universe, instruments like Hubble and the Spitzer Space Telescope allow astronomers to find similar objects at varying distances and at different points in their life span.

Unfortunately, if distance measurements using this method are reported in the popular press, usually only the determined distance is given, not the measured red shift nor the used cosmological parameters; this can lead to the result that at different places, different distances are reported for the same object and the same study.

The measurement of the expansion rate requires the use of telescopes to measure the distance (or light travel time) of objects seen at different size scales (or redshifts) in the history of the universe.

Perhaps the best that can be said is that objects with a similar velocity and direction are more likely to lie at the same distance than those with different velocities.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden may have found the answer.According to the textbooks, our perception of size and distance is a product of how the brain interprets different visual cues, such as the size of an object on the retina and its movement across the visual field.

While Jodie's controls can be irritating at times, especially when she becomes stuck on environmental geometry, this does however create a strong emphasis on just how different Jodie and Aiden are, apart from being a human and a tethered soul: Jodie is «heavy» and confined to the pacing of the game; Aiden is quick, capable of traversing through solid objects, and can move anywhere in the immediate area so long as it's within the distance of Jodie's connection - this will vary based on certain conditions within each Chapter.
