the explanation

2019-07-12 18:41:32 UTC  

we're looping so I'm getting off this debate

2019-07-12 18:41:38 UTC  

when we start looping in debates I just quit

It does not explain why cosine is used. It is just a very basic description of how the formula works. Not how the formula was put together.

2019-07-12 18:43:29 UTC  

It is a message you are expected to believe however it does not explain the math behind it. Not really.

2019-07-12 18:43:51 UTC  

Rubbish, the formula is derived using trigonometry

2019-07-12 18:45:20 UTC  

How many people would not even know what cos means. Or how to use it on a calculator. How many would remember how to use it 20 years after graduation. Almost no one. But they will remember pathragiams theory.

2019-07-12 18:45:53 UTC  

What is "pathragiams"?

2019-07-12 18:47:35 UTC  

*sigh*>

2019-07-12 18:47:52 UTC  

I just looked it up and I realize why he's using Pythagoras Theorem

2019-07-12 18:48:01 UTC  

He skipped a few steps in calculating the actual curvature

2019-07-12 18:48:08 UTC  

See B is the radius. A is the distance and c is the radius plus the height of curvature. Far simpler to understand.

2019-07-12 18:48:13 UTC  

It's how we get the 8 inch per mile figure

2019-07-12 18:48:36 UTC  

It's only valid if you are using the tangent

2019-07-12 18:49:06 UTC  

In reality you look down to the horion, that is not the tangent

2019-07-12 18:49:21 UTC  

No simple math will work. All your calculator needs is square root to use this.

No one should trust that. It is circular argument. You assume the earth is a ball. It shows a ball. If you want to believe the earth is a ball fine. But do not tell a Flat Earther to trust a ball earth site.

2019-07-12 18:51:19 UTC  

Everything in that calculator can be verified with trigonometry

2019-07-12 18:51:27 UTC  

I could care less where the horizon is. That is just a method of deception.

2019-07-12 18:51:49 UTC  

That midpoint. It is used to half the curve.

2019-07-12 18:52:22 UTC  

If you fail to understand that calcultor then I can't do more

2019-07-12 18:52:34 UTC  

Except why determine the midpoint. What it calls the horizon.

2019-07-12 18:52:48 UTC  

I call it the point of confusion.

2019-07-12 18:53:43 UTC  

Call it what you want, I don't care

2019-07-12 18:54:17 UTC  

Well there could be many things between you and what you look at. Hills or valleys. So that confusing midpoint is of no use. All I care about is how far down something should be at the distance I am looking from.

2019-07-12 18:54:37 UTC  

Did this man say we shouldn't use cosine because noone remembers it???

2019-07-12 18:54:46 UTC  

Since we seem to have lost the thread here. When you talk about angels living in the fourth dimension precisely what do you mean?

2019-07-12 18:55:11 UTC  

No I said that formula was most likely correct. Just harder to understand.

2019-07-12 18:55:32 UTC  

cosine isn't that hard to understand

2019-07-12 18:55:40 UTC  

Most flat earthers are also truthers. They do not trust globe earth sites or globe earth formulas.

2019-07-12 18:55:43 UTC  

there's a button

2019-07-12 18:55:48 UTC  

right on the calculator

2019-07-12 18:56:04 UTC  

That's the flatearthers loss

2019-07-12 18:56:15 UTC  

Well most of them. I have to change the one on Windows to get cos to appear.

2019-07-12 18:56:33 UTC  

However square root is always on it.

2019-07-12 18:56:44 UTC  

Steve you just set it to scientific

2019-07-12 18:56:47 UTC  

just download a better calculator

2019-07-12 18:56:53 UTC  

Its not at all difficult
