we're only concerned with the latter height

that's what these equations calculate

and since they're different equations, they give slightly different shapes

one a parabola, one a circle

the one that is a circle is better to use when considering a spherical object like the earth

🤔

Sure, on a graph, with the parabola modeling the drop on a sphere from a tangent line

exactly

the parabola doesn't match the circle, eventually they diverge

uncharted what do u think

he seems unsure also

It matching a circle on the graph is irrelevant.

SO is there a debate to the shape of the earth?

b/c we have accuratly mapped it out, and that shows a sphere

About what?

@jeremy

Flight paths use this information to go from place to place

idk u posted the puzzling emoji

er thinking whatever that emoji is

Yes I know I posted that

what u thinkin about

I don't see what the conversation is about I don't mean to intrude

what do u think the formula for the curvature of a circle is

I don't care much for it if I'll be honest

It's simply a formula

the amount of money in ur paycheck is a formula that formula matters right lol

So are there any flat earth believers in here?

That's different

There are flat earthers here Frolic

Many actually

yeah but i think they are both pretty important formulas

Just change roles

If they have too many then they are a flat earther

Nice

The saying is true actually, or more an observation of the human mind

If one is to believe in one conspiracy they will believe in at least 2 more

Eh, not really.

if something has merit and evidence

There are many conspiracy buffs, but accepting conspiracies doesn't make you one for it

i thought i was gonna get somewhere today but now im even father back than before

It is true from what I've seen personally and many others know
