Actually, I am a high school junior, and have never taken a physics/astronomy class before. What I did, is I sat down and studied
Cognitive Dissonance sewn on purpose to get you to believe in a false religion. Sold as Science when it is pure religion.
The stars, planets, and everything around me
No one told me what shape the earth was, I used common sense
Did you go to the salt flats. Or to a large frozen lake. Did you not see how flat a still lake looks. How it can reflect distant mountains in perfection.
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.
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
