You don’t just square the curvature

Yes, a curve of 26 feet over 40 miles

You know nothing about math.

Lol

Like, google it, bing it

Search “curvature of the earth”

Calculus uses square all the time. Also ^3 ^4 and on and on.

1065 ft

Yes, for calculating area

We’re talking about a straight line

google can bring facts and is also a propoganda machine

Then don’t use google

This is amazing

i didn't say its all a lie

@The Unknown Scout you should know better than that

@The Unknown Scout yellow flag. You should know better.

im slowly learning

but thank you for the advice

No wonder you people think the earth is flat lol

You’ve been doing the calculation wrong

There was no 1065 feet of curve. I saw the entire ships and the water they were sitting on from 40 miles away.

Again, it’s 26 feet of curve

No one is claiming there’s 1065 feet of curvature

@Platinum Spark Show me how you come up with not squared. How just miles times 8" could possibly not be a completely flat line?

A flat line is not an area

@Platinum Spark i dont think the earth is flat, but you still shouldnt be saying that in a place full of flat-earthers

It’s a line

@The Unknown Scout it’s so funny though, they’ve just been doing the calculation wrong

There’s no second axis in a straight line

I could care less about how many square miles that harbor was. I only cared about what the curve would be were the earth a globe. 1085 feet.

@Steve Angell no

@Platinum Spark they may have done the calculation wrong but maybe it is us who are wrong

It’s 1085 feet of the whole harbor

Area

The specific line to that ship

Is 26 feet

@The Unknown Scout and I am open to having any one of my assertions challenged, and I will defend it with logic and science. But for him to claim that MY claim is different than my claim is ridiculous

Well guess in your mind we live on a perfectly flat earth. Just tilted down 8 inches every mile. Let us explore that. The earth is 26000 miles flat not round. Is that what you are saying?

So if I go 26,000 miles I go down 17,316 feet.

Is that really your claim?

Man your math is crazy
