Yes
Using 4 or more wells/poles you can experementally test for curvature
It can even test for a curved earth and close sun model
I should test that
its better to use hanging plumb bobs
that way its guarenteed to be vertical
a well is not nessarily vertical
a pole isent either
altho you can use either one if they align with the plumb bob great
just remember to factor in that error into the calculations
all scientific calculations should also include the error

if you dont include an error calculation or step by step method and tools then i cant trust your paper
Works on both
With 4!
It doesn't matter how many sticks you have. It doesn't make the earth a ball
Why are the left rays divergent and the right ones parallel
Perhaps if the sun is close but not small
Or not a ball
A) the divergent rays are assuming a local sun verus the parallel rays from a distant sun B) if you try and calculate the circumstance of a sphere using two points and then do it again using different points you get a different answer on a flat plane verus a sphere
And if you do it in real life you get the same answer no matter where you do it
@Citizen Z You need at least three non-collinear. The four that sigma was referring to are in a square or quadrilateral, not all on the same line.
Ok my mind has exploded
So is the ISS real or no
I'm confused
It is real
Seems real to me
How can you be sure
It could be a holographic projection
When I have directly seen it from the ground twice, and thousands and thousands have seen it through a telescope as a space station and not a plane or something, I’m pretty sure it’s real.
Also you can’t bounce radar off of holographs, but you can on the ISS.
Good point
Never thought of radar for proof
Hmm good point
Let's say the Earth is flat
How does ISS orbit?
18th u assumme I have looked never seen it astronuts told me it doesnt exsist
