@Citizen Z It doesn't work on both

Showing an image is not proof it works on both

Do the math

You will find out you can get 2 maybe 3 of the angles to match

But not 4

Only reason 3 may not work is if the 2 poles on either side are equal distant to the center one and the sun is directly above the middle one

I can do the math myself if you want

(circle is rotated by 0.2 unit relative to the third pole)
(math says that that corresponds to a sun shift to the right relative to the third pole of 0.199 units, triangulated with the 2 rightmost poles)

the images shows isent the actual model

just ilustrates my calculations

same result for only 2 poles

and 3 only if you have the poles equidistant and the sun is directly above the center pole

(rough look at my work, hard to read because I havent made it easy to read yet)

Works just fine

yes

it can test if the earth is curved simply from the sun

need 4 poles

you can do 3 poles but you have to be sure you dont have the sun directly over the center one

anyway i have to be gone for a bit

You cant so the experiment to establish the earths shape

This is obvious

English please?

I think he meant *do
not "so" .

You can do this experement

Its hard but you can

Did someone say experiment

Hard isnt in my vocab when it comes to experiments

Only dificulty is finding out the distances

Lay it on me

Between the poles

@Soldz (CF) scroll up

"need 4 poles
you can do 3 poles but you have to be sure you dont have the sun directly over the center one"

<:thonk:485324336874651650>

Because the poles being equal distant

The 2 outer poles would give you the same angle

Ah

The point of what i did was to show that the experement if done can be used to test either hypothesis of the earth being round or flat

As he was claiming againsed
