So you should sill be able to see a bridge or a ship

BS. 1200 feet is correct.

@chad46 that the earth is round

@Steve Angell no it isn’t. You just said .666 feet per mile right

Are you saying the earth is 200,.000 miles across?

You said 40 miles away

Squared. Squared miles times miles.

That’s 26.64 feet

At .666 curve per mile

40 miles has aa lot more drop than 40'

Lol you don’t see square miles dude

You see straight

You are saying the earth is flat just going downhill with out squaring it.

@Platinum Spark lol you dont understand maths

How math works.

I’m saying if you draw a straight line, that straight line has .798 inches of drop off per mile

lol wow

you know what the curve x^2 looks like

This is incredible

Ok, so here’s the thing

That is perfect flatness going down hill a bit.

its 8" per mile^2

When you’re talking about curvature over a 2d surface, you talk about squared

No

so 40x40

No

Incorrect

Draw a circle with a circle compass.

2d.

No, listen to me

@Platinum Spark lol

When you are talking about it on a 2d surface

You square it

If you are talking about sighting a specific object from a specific point

That is a direct line

you dont know your arse from your elbow

We say it is flat. You say it is a ball. There is no curve is our claim. Your claim is there is a curve on the globe.

You don’t just square the curvature

Yes, a curve of 26 feet over 40 miles

You know nothing about math.

Lol
