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

2019-07-06 20:49:07 UTC  

It’s not the Pythagorean theorem by the way

2019-07-06 20:49:08 UTC  

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

2019-07-06 20:49:10 UTC  

A is the radius. B is the distance.

2019-07-06 20:49:36 UTC  

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

2019-07-06 20:49:36 UTC  

@Steve Angell that sounds legit

2019-07-06 20:49:51 UTC  

steve's math is gud imo

2019-07-06 20:49:56 UTC  

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

2019-07-06 20:50:20 UTC  

ik but i mean beyond those

2019-07-06 20:50:23 UTC  

h = r * (1 - cos a)

2019-07-06 20:50:35 UTC  

Use that next time you measure curvature

2019-07-06 20:50:46 UTC  

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

2019-07-06 20:50:58 UTC  

that's what i mean

2019-07-06 20:51:02 UTC  

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

2019-07-06 20:51:05 UTC  

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

2019-07-06 20:51:06 UTC  

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

2019-07-06 20:51:24 UTC  

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

2019-07-06 20:51:33 UTC  

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

2019-07-06 20:51:44 UTC  

but what if the universe is the neural network of God

2019-07-06 20:51:48 UTC  

It is a right angle we look out at. The curvature is C in that equation. A and B are at right angles.

2019-07-06 20:51:54 UTC  

You should also take into factor the elevation in which you are measuring,

2019-07-06 20:52:05 UTC  

ether as a fluid

2019-07-06 20:52:06 UTC  

The earth isn’t a uniformly smooth sphere

2019-07-06 20:52:14 UTC  
2019-07-06 20:52:26 UTC  

Elevation makes no difference looking across a lake. Same on both sides of it.

2019-07-06 20:52:30 UTC  

what if Earth is God's pineal gland

2019-07-06 20:52:36 UTC  

Lol

2019-07-06 20:52:40 UTC  

@thing well your equation doesn't take that into account either

2019-07-06 20:52:49 UTC  

you guys gave the same equation

2019-07-06 20:52:56 UTC  

I know, that’s why there is more to be done then just simple math

2019-07-06 20:53:17 UTC  

I guess it does not but it would be a tiny percentage of an inch difference.

2019-07-06 20:53:22 UTC  

Take the atmosphere into account as well

2019-07-06 20:53:26 UTC  

Air pollution

2019-07-06 20:53:30 UTC  

All of the sort

2019-07-06 20:53:43 UTC  

refraction would be the only thing

2019-07-06 20:53:50 UTC  

and they do account for refraction :p

2019-07-06 20:54:00 UTC  

No they don’t.

2019-07-06 20:54:14 UTC  

i can't verify whether they did it accurately, but they do at least

2019-07-06 20:54:15 UTC  

They usually do basic math without accounting for refraction

2019-07-06 20:54:24 UTC  

I have no clue how you could figure out the exact distance from the center of the earth to get that formula to work with absolute perfection. Why you would care to do so. Wow I might be 0.001 inches off.

2019-07-06 20:54:41 UTC  

i'm just saying what they have done, idk what people usually do
