that the earth was flat i think
he had flags above the water i think and he couldnt get them to line up when the telescope was level but when the telescope wasnt level he got them to all line up for 6 miles i believe thats how it was
but i dont think it matters if the telscope is level or not i think we all agree if u get something to line up over 6 miles their is no curve
<a:9435_PepeClap:518179480619974656>
wouldnt there be an error if the telescope wasnt aligned properly tho
im not sure if thats how the experiment worked actually
i jsut checked
why is my name blue
yo what happened to my name color lol
anyways i think the experiment was he sent a boat down the river and could see it at the end and u shouldnt have with the curve
idk i gotta look into it more
hmm
You've been given the trusted role Jeremy

This approximation holds good for the distances involved, but it fails to take account of the height above the ground of the observer. A more accurate calculation shows that the portion of the boat hidden from Rowbotham’s view would be zero after a mile, 8 inches (0.2 m) after two miles, and 2 ft 8 inches (0.81 m) after three miles. Nevertheless, only the top of the mast would be visible at three miles, and long before it reached Welney Bridge the whole of the boat would have disappeared. Instead, it remained completely visible throughout its journey, which Rowbotham took as proof that the Earth is flat.
Woooooooooooooah
I want that role
we all do
oh thanks
Hey Jeremy
see thats waht we need to do is measure the distance when the boats go out to sea
What you talking about
hi coco
i want a trusted role :((
No
why
Enough trolls have that role
u get a b oat and some of that crazy strong lightweight bouyant fishing line go to the ocean record the boat in view the whole time from coast to out at the horizon tie one end of the string to the boat have the boat go out call the guy when u lose sight of the boat come back measure how much fishing line he took out
?
what does that even mean
they couldnt say its a mirage like that if u have it in view the whole time

😖
i want one to i went in to the vc and they basically told me “no”
<:huh:567134037068742666>
did u guys see my experiment
Coco sh
so that was unepic
<:sob:507995466659659776>
Which experiment
