itsame watch the video i linked i think east takes u to the equator
he already doesnt think u end up at the equator so dont watch astrals his is what i am opposing
I wish I could post pictures here
@jeremy yes if you travelled at an initial heading of east, you'd eventually cross teh equator, that would effectively put you in the same path as an orbit with the inclination of your latitude
ok
boom
perfect
try telling these guys
but that's if you're stuck to the surface
light rays are not stuck to the surface they come from the sun
No, you wouldn't cross the equator, not dead reckoning east.
@AstralSentient well wait lemme think
b/c i think you would
if you set your initial heading as east, and never adjusted it again, didn't look at a compass
your magnetic heading wouldnt' stay east
this is not cut and dry as some people thing
think
Dead reckoning would be directionally east, not based on compass.
at the start?
u are in new york u go east at the sunrise on the equinox
I'm talking throughout, staying on an east path, relative to your starting position
well you'd need a compass to do that
which i guess is dead reckoning still
Mark it on a map or globe
but imagine you start on a heading of 90 and never 'turn' left nor right
eventaully your magnetic heading will change
you wuoldn't follow a line of latitude in that case
yeah i know
u end up at the equator
now ur gettin crazy
and south of it, then you'd return back to where you started
lol
would you cross the equator at an angle, or would you be parallle with it, in your opinion?
the equator is the only place u can start at and go east and never get off the equator line
imo
Dead reckoning, you would follow a line of latitude
at least ur saying if u started in new york and went east u would end up at the equator
East
