A large spherical earth is reasonably flat locally

2019-06-14 10:56:35 UTC  

So you have 5 square mile section of earth that for all observation and measurements is flat

2019-06-14 10:56:36 UTC  

It is very un-flat over larger distances

2019-06-14 10:56:45 UTC

2019-06-14 10:56:48 UTC  

Well not really

2019-06-14 10:56:49 UTC  

Right?

2019-06-14 10:56:56 UTC  

These fractions can confuse you

2019-06-14 10:57:08 UTC  

So .001 degrees is bend you can see with your make eye

2019-06-14 10:57:17 UTC  

The drop is still about 16 feet

2019-06-14 10:57:24 UTC  

On a line 5 miles long?

2019-06-14 10:57:43 UTC  

Yeah you need precise measurements for it

Can you see .001 degrees of curve in a line 5 miles long?

2019-06-14 10:58:08 UTC  

Or would it look perfectly straight

2019-06-14 10:58:09 UTC  

Hello everyone

2019-06-14 10:58:11 UTC  

Just look at the picture

2019-06-14 10:58:14 UTC  

No

2019-06-14 10:58:16 UTC  

No need to read anything

Hmmm, only 5 miles? 16 feet of drop.......... Not without an extremely good methodology

2019-06-14 10:58:57 UTC  

Don’t tell me drop

2019-06-14 10:59:02 UTC  

Idiot

2019-06-14 10:59:09 UTC  

Can i ask what discusssion youre talking about right now?

2019-06-14 10:59:11 UTC  

But over 40 miles?

2019-06-14 10:59:15 UTC  

You'll see this:

2019-06-14 10:59:18 UTC  

If a line was 17,000 feet long

2019-06-14 10:59:24 UTC  

Look at the picture

2019-06-14 10:59:27 UTC  

Why don’t you answer?

2019-06-14 10:59:51 UTC  

With a telescope at the correct point?

2019-06-14 10:59:53 UTC  

Maybe

2019-06-14 11:00:03 UTC  

You would see a 16 foot deviation in a line over 26,000 feet long?

2019-06-14 11:00:10 UTC  

Lololol

2019-06-14 11:00:29 UTC  

That’s. .001% bend

2019-06-14 11:00:30 UTC  

Let's do 40 miles now
