@Citizen Z Well...what now?

I dunno ask the globies

my earth is usually flat XD

But nasa says flat is desirable alternative

To the complex sphere model

@Goldsteel sorry to hit you up out of the blue, but have you seen the definitive proof of the flat earth? Even NASA says it's true.

(Am I right for thinking they use less complex models when discussing physics where earth shape has little affect? And theres not proof of a flat earth in nasas publicly available records?)

Scroll up to where Z sends it of you want to have a look

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS It’s not exact proof. But I find it interesting that NASA would even take the time to entertain the idea, given that we supposedly had already been to the moon. It’s rather damning, actually.

True that

I wouldn't call it damming from what I understand of Physics (which is really not enough) you don't need to use full models in all situations. As long as you a count for the main issues for the situation

Damning?

But I'm waiting on a nerd to help

NASA has used transforms to convert spherical coordinates to flat for decades

lol

Here's one now

Oh, thanks

😄

Ok so what about all the NASA literature that uses the globe model?

NASA made a stereo graphic projection into a legitimate model, I don’t see how this would prove anything.

It's preferable! In some cases!

It’s preferable in almost any small scale test

The amount of additional math involved due to the smallest smidge of curvature throws off so many things and greatly increases the margin for error

Large scale tests are meant to take curvature into account, but subtleties like curvature for small scale tests is irrelevant, it simply overcomplicates things.

So the margin of effort to account for the curve is more difficult to deal with than not accounting for it?

For minuscule tests, yes
