thats some sweet graph paper better than the one i found lol
i wouldnt even know how to start graphing it even if i could make lines
Right, this might not be very good for this purpose.
You put in equations. Like, something simple, x=8, or y=4
For a circle, that is
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
hang on im watching some youtube vids on this subject
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = 3,953^2
And you get the cross section of the spherical earth since r for radius is about 3,953 miles
Idk how to do best represent the 7.98 inches per mile squared with this, probably better to just look for pictures
i just watched one and 8 inches per mile squared didnt work for a quarter of the globe it was way off
can u link youtube videos in here?
I think you can
he makes it look pretty clear the 8 inches per mile squared doesnt work
is that guys math wrong ? is the formula for the curvature of a sphere under debate ?
it looks like it is
flate earthers and globe believers are both saying its wrong lol
the 8 inches per mile squared
ur saying it is right ?
Was watching it. No, it isn't wrong. You can derive it from the pythagorean theorem using a tangent line, the key is drop from that line starting from one point on the globe.
idk what to believe now i got people telling me all different things
that video i linked his math was wrong ?
u can debunk the debunker ? lol
He is missing the point, he puts it on a graph as a parabola and compares it to a a graphed circle.
The distances must be linear from the starting point, basically a tangent. And the distance from that line to the surface is the drop
but it doesnt make a circle
it wasnt even close
like i said im not that good at math but isnt the point to form a circle
i still dont understand how from a to b is 8 inches and from b to c is 8 inches but a to c is 32 that doesnt make sense to me how can there be more drop than what adds up from a to be it went down 8 inches then from a to c it goes down another 8 inches
where do the extra inches come into play
he just tried to make a circle out of the formula after it was graphed
he graphed it wrong ?
It isn't applied correctly, he places a circle next to a graph to compare, when the shape isn't come out of the graph. To apply it correctly, the top y-axis at 9:45 in the video would be the straight tangent line and the drop on the x axis extending from the top line to the circle would be the drop. That graphed curve is deviating because it is plotting out distance over drop.
The extra inches come into play because the surface is curved, if it was just 8 inches per mile, it would be a straight sloped line.
hmmm idk im more confused now than before
I'll send you a picture
that doesnt look right
the lines are slanted
should be goin straight up
ur tryin to measure the drop from a the lnie coming up from c wouldnt be slanted like that
that picture looks very wrong to me
ur measuring the drop from point a the line should be vertical to the tangent not at a slant why does it slant hows that measuring drop from a
post that picture in here
oh u cant post pics in here
can u post a link to that pic
in ur pic from t to a is 8 inch drop and in reality a to b is an 8 inch drop as well but in ur pic from a to b is a 24 inch drop
