Do you know how much curvature you should be measuring?

yes! it's above in that chart!!

8 inches per mile squared

at least for the first few hundred miles

That does not tell you how much the HORIZON should curve, I'm talking about whether it looks flat or not

we aren't measuring that as proof. it's too difficult

Then what's the point of an image saying the horizon looks flat?

You can't measure 8 inches per mile² looking at the horizon

I was addressing the point someone above made about shouldn't you be able to see the curvature

stop trolling

last warning

?

"but I'm not trolling"

Sure, go with that, anyway do you know why this chart uses ASIN(L/R)?

spherical geometry

Ok so the answer is because it's measuring straight line distance, not curved line distance, (it's also measuring normal to LOS drop, not drop normal to surface drop) which is not what it should be using for exact results

You could remove the ASIN and the equation would be perfectly valid

Assuming you're using radians

And it would be more accurate

then tell us what numbers you get for Earth's curvature.

You could then divide the entire equation by cos(theta) to get normal to surface drop

and we will see how it compares to what we measure

which is 0

Who talked about measuring?

I'm just talking about the equation

I'm not talking about how it compares to results

I'm not here to fight for the globe Earth

I'm just here to see the equations being used, which, for the horizon, there is no equation that I can see being used to judge if it should be flat, and for the drop, the equation used is pretty close but still not exact

So 🤷‍♂️

LMFAO

I've come up with a cool new drinking game. Watch the ISS "livestream" for 3 hours. every time you see a satellite, take a drink

it's perfect for recovering alcoholics

@Flat Earth PhD this tbh ^

0 curvature is what is seen

O curvature, where art thou?

0 curvature, pix or it didn't happen.

Been doing some reading around, new to this whole flat earth thing. I don’t like being lied to by the government, but confused as to how their is not gravity in the flat earth. If gravity isn’t holding me down what is?
