Fack it, this is GD so i might as well ask, why when magnified does the 1 moa dot stay the same size? Lol

It's the same effect as a line drawn outward from the center of a spinning disc.  A point on that line closer to the center of the disc is moving at a higher speed, but making the same number of revolutions as a point further away from the center.

Here, I've included a diagram:




If you put a magnifier on the gun behind your EOTech, the holographic reticle gets bigger.  So does everything else.  

If you need a quick class on how magnifying lenses work, let me know.  I have several hours before this bottle is empty.


Now, if you really want me to bend your head in half, is it that reticle still using a 1 MOA dot?

Why would it not the whole image/view is magnified not just the reticle

Because 1 MOA is 1 MOA at any magnification.

No bro it's a 3x magnetfier. 3x1=3 so the dot is now 3 moa but your target also grew by 3x so it's like a giant person  so it cancels out and your dot goes back to 1moa

Can your Eotech see into the future as well as into the past?

Absolutely!

 
Through the magnifier, my Eotech can see in the past where the last bullet impacted on the target and also in the future where the next one will land....

It will take 87 minutes duuuuhhhh, everyone says it would take 1 hour but I'm like "Nooo, 87 minutes, and all they do is look at me funny."
