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

2019-04-20 19:48:54 UTC  

You have to reposition the line to a

2019-04-20 19:48:59 UTC  

no in ur pic from a to b is a 24 inch drop

2019-04-20 19:49:20 UTC  

ur 8 inches down then it goes 24 inches down

2019-04-20 19:49:23 UTC  

Not if the line is tangent on a, then it is 8 inches from a to b

2019-04-20 19:51:05 UTC  

u have a tangent line on top we are trying to figure out the drop amount as u go around the curve. the lines should be going straight up not slanted i feel

2019-04-20 19:53:01 UTC  

Like I said, this isn't to scale. It should point straight down, you are right, but the 7.98 value is pretty much correct since over one mile, the earth curves a tiny fraction of a degree where straight down and slanted are very nearly the same

2019-04-20 19:53:21 UTC  

u said we have to reposition the line to a but real world scenario we could have people in all spots and dont have to reposition anyone

2019-04-20 19:53:39 UTC  

idk im having doubts about this 8 inches per mile squared thing

2019-04-20 19:57:00 UTC  

@Citizen Z same thing, the text of that image is still wrong

2019-04-20 19:57:19 UTC  

your mind must be making up that you're seeing something that isn't ther

2019-04-20 19:58:05 UTC  

@AstralSentient @jeremy the exact equation for how a circle distances away from a tangent line is R[1-cos(d/R]

2019-04-20 19:58:10 UTC  

But each observer in their own position has their own line. Relative to each observer, 1 mile is 8 inch drop

2019-04-20 19:58:17 UTC  

that is approximately 8*d^2

2019-04-20 19:58:34 UTC  

ok frolic just gave us a different equation for the curvature

2019-04-20 19:58:48 UTC  

8*d^2 is an approximation, tha'ts a parabola

2019-04-20 19:59:01 UTC  

it's close but not exact, exact formula is that of a circle

2019-04-20 20:00:14 UTC  

it's weird taht when flat earhers say "8 inches per mile squared" they can't write the proper equation to describe what they're saying

2019-04-20 20:00:25 UTC  

their words sound like h=8/d^2

2019-04-20 20:00:27 UTC  

ur formula is squared too

2019-04-20 20:00:42 UTC  

dont u have to have an equal amount of curve in each mile though
