(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

2019-04-20 18:55:32 UTC  

i just watched one and 8 inches per mile squared didnt work for a quarter of the globe it was way off

2019-04-20 18:56:01 UTC  

can u link youtube videos in here?

2019-04-20 18:57:57 UTC  

I think you can

2019-04-20 19:01:22 UTC  

he makes it look pretty clear the 8 inches per mile squared doesnt work

2019-04-20 19:02:33 UTC  

is that guys math wrong ? is the formula for the curvature of a sphere under debate ?

2019-04-20 19:12:07 UTC  

it looks like it is

2019-04-20 19:12:29 UTC  

flate earthers and globe believers are both saying its wrong lol

2019-04-20 19:12:42 UTC  

the 8 inches per mile squared

2019-04-20 19:13:19 UTC  

ur saying it is right ?

2019-04-20 19:13:49 UTC  

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.

2019-04-20 19:14:28 UTC  

idk what to believe now i got people telling me all different things

2019-04-20 19:14:54 UTC  

that video i linked his math was wrong ?

2019-04-20 19:15:28 UTC  

u can debunk the debunker ? lol

2019-04-20 19:18:00 UTC  

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

2019-04-20 19:19:53 UTC  

but it doesnt make a circle

2019-04-20 19:20:06 UTC  

it wasnt even close

2019-04-20 19:20:18 UTC  

like i said im not that good at math but isnt the point to form a circle

2019-04-20 19:21:38 UTC  

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

2019-04-20 19:21:47 UTC  

where do the extra inches come into play

2019-04-20 19:27:18 UTC  

he just tried to make a circle out of the formula after it was graphed

2019-04-20 19:27:31 UTC  

he graphed it wrong ?

2019-04-20 19:33:40 UTC  

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.

2019-04-20 19:35:19 UTC  

hmmm idk im more confused now than before

2019-04-20 19:35:33 UTC  

I'll send you a picture

2019-04-20 19:36:35 UTC  

that doesnt look right

2019-04-20 19:36:41 UTC  

the lines are slanted

2019-04-20 19:37:10 UTC  

should be goin straight up

2019-04-20 19:37:37 UTC  

ur tryin to measure the drop from a the lnie coming up from c wouldnt be slanted like that

2019-04-20 19:38:50 UTC  

that picture looks very wrong to me

2019-04-20 19:39:46 UTC  

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

2019-04-20 19:39:56 UTC  

post that picture in here

2019-04-20 19:40:18 UTC  

oh u cant post pics in here

2019-04-20 19:40:23 UTC  

can u post a link to that pic

2019-04-20 19:46:34 UTC  

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

2019-04-20 19:47:01 UTC  

how can a to b be an 8 inch drop and a 24 inch drop lol

2019-04-20 19:47:20 UTC  

do u see where im having a problem with this or no ?

2019-04-20 19:48:01 UTC  

It isn't to scale, it is just to depict it in an easy to understand way. In the model, the amount they are slanted is very slight to the point of basically being negligible. Over longer distances, the drop to the surface straight down is more significantly different from the drop to surface pointing to the center, but we just continue to do it straight down

2019-04-20 19:48:33 UTC  

And from a to b, it is an 8 inch drop

2019-04-20 19:48:47 UTC  

they shouldnt be slanted at all why would we point to the center we are on the surface
