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
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

<: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
Not that it can easily be done
As he says it cant now
Well shit
