This contradiction the boat is going to the horizon and gets blocked by the bulge of the curve but then when you ask why it doesn’t tilt away you say because there’s .01° of bend

2019-06-14 10:50:40 UTC  

No contradiction

2019-06-14 10:50:44 UTC  

When you zoom out looking at a ball you see the ball

2019-06-14 10:50:54 UTC  

Yup

2019-06-14 10:50:58 UTC  

When you zoom out on the ball earth it gets flat

2019-06-14 10:50:58 UTC  

Same with reality

2019-06-14 10:51:07 UTC  

Nope

2019-06-14 10:51:19 UTC  

At high altitude that is what happens

2019-06-14 10:51:43 UTC  

In an experiment with a physical ball it is almost impossible to get close enough for the analogy to hold

2019-06-14 10:51:48 UTC  

But the same happens

2019-06-14 10:52:20 UTC  

@rightthehand Read that

2019-06-14 10:52:40 UTC  

How flat is a 5 mile square cross section of earth?

2019-06-14 10:53:17 UTC  

I don’t read bullahit blogs

2019-06-14 10:53:19 UTC  

Depends how you view it

2019-06-14 10:53:26 UTC  

Really?

2019-06-14 10:53:30 UTC  

Read it man, I can vouch for it

2019-06-14 10:53:42 UTC  

So the physical structure of a 5 mile cross section of earth depending how you look at it will change

2019-06-14 10:53:53 UTC  

????

2019-06-14 10:54:26 UTC  

Yup

2019-06-14 10:54:30 UTC  

Really

2019-06-14 10:54:31 UTC  

Relatively flat anyways

2019-06-14 10:54:44 UTC  

It depends from what viewpoint you are looking at it from

2019-06-14 10:55:01 UTC  

I’m not asking you what it will look like I’m asking you what it will measure

2019-06-14 10:55:22 UTC  

If you take the entire bowl earth and cut out a 5 mile Square what will be the level of flatness of that particular cross-section

2019-06-14 10:55:45 UTC  

How many degrees of bend will it have?

2019-06-14 10:55:51 UTC  

I’ll tell you

2019-06-14 10:55:57 UTC  

.001

2019-06-14 10:56:04 UTC  

That’s flat

2019-06-14 10:56:10 UTC  

Sure, that might be accurate yes.

2019-06-14 10:56:13 UTC  

Flatter then flat actually

2019-06-14 10:56:29 UTC  

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  

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

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?
