Have you considered that you are a 1-2 meter human on a supermassive object, of course it would look flat from your perspective

That is 2 dimensional thinking again

i think it can distract a lot of smart people, and it's not just nonsense. but still, in the end it can just be wrong

Have you done the math to know how far the curve would be in just ten miles?

A ten mile across lake is not that hard to find.

@raspberry Because the word of man is forever fallible

The curvature of the earth doesn’t just take in one factor, there are thousands of things you have to take into consideration.

66.6 feet. That would be the curvature in just ten miles.

@Enn yes, words are just words

What is the formula you are using?

Yet on a calm lake I can lay down and see the opposite shore. What I see is no curvature at all.

It's much easier to experience the knock of wood rather than try to explain it imo

i think it might be impossible to explain

Hey guys

A^2 + B^2 = C^2, It actually comes out to 66.61 feet.

And even if you do explain it, you're explaining it from your point-of-view, which is subjective, especially if you're describing the contrast of wood in comparison to your skin upon knocking.

You have to multiply the miles into feet of course.

words kind of just connect ideas that already existed in someone's experience in a way

yess

Once again, stop using your eyes for everything. I’m sorry, but the human senses are still just that, *human*. If science was based on just using our sense for everything we would still think that we lived on a flat plane (which some obviously still do believe)

😥

That’s why we have science

And take the square root of C. Subtract the radius from C.

It’s not the Pythagorean theorem by the way

interesting part is we still don't have instruments to measure everything, such as x-ray and radar

A is the radius. B is the distance.

It is a trigonometric function you should use to calculate curvature, I’ll get it for you in a sec

@Steve Angell that sounds legit

steve's math is gud imo

There are instruments to measure radar power and x-ray power.

ik but i mean beyond those

h = r * (1 - cos a)

Use that next time you measure curvature

even according to globe science, 95% of the universe is unobservable i guess

that's what i mean

@thing that's exactly what he did, but he used the pythagorean theorem instead

Because the theorem you suggest is a right angle, which doesn’t measure curvature , it can however measure linear distances

I did not trust anything so I just used the math I remembered as I knew that worked in construction I did at home.

the formula you posted and the one steve used are equivalent]

Guys sheeple has a 2 TB files on this YOU AINT GUNNA WIN THIS ARGUMENT

but what if the universe is the neural network of God
