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

2020-03-13 06:44:46 UTC  

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

2020-03-13 06:44:50 UTC  

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

2020-03-13 06:44:53 UTC  

stop trolling

last warning

2020-03-13 06:45:15 UTC  

?

2020-03-13 06:45:44 UTC  

"but I'm not trolling"

2020-03-13 06:46:02 UTC  

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

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

2020-03-13 06:48:19 UTC  

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

2020-03-13 06:48:23 UTC  

Assuming you're using radians

2020-03-13 06:48:29 UTC  

And it would be more accurate

2020-03-13 06:49:07 UTC  

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

2020-03-13 06:49:12 UTC  

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

2020-03-13 06:49:19 UTC  

and we will see how it compares to what we measure

2020-03-13 06:49:23 UTC  

which is 0

2020-03-13 06:49:37 UTC  

Who talked about measuring?

2020-03-13 06:49:43 UTC  

I'm just talking about the equation

2020-03-13 06:49:52 UTC  

I'm not talking about how it compares to results

2020-03-13 06:50:17 UTC  

I'm not here to fight for the globe Earth

2020-03-13 06:51:09 UTC  

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

2020-03-13 06:51:30 UTC  

So 🤷‍♂️

2020-03-13 06:51:36 UTC  

👍

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

2020-03-13 07:57:41 UTC  

it's perfect for recovering alcoholics

2020-03-13 08:50:04 UTC  

@Flat Earth PhD this tbh ^

2020-03-13 09:30:01 UTC  

0 curvature is what is seen

2020-03-13 10:03:49 UTC  

O curvature, where art thou?

2020-03-13 12:06:22 UTC  

0 curvature, pix or it didn't happen.

2020-03-13 12:07:59 UTC

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?

2020-03-13 12:59:31 UTC  

Why would you think warped space and time keeps you from floating?

2020-03-13 13:00:07 UTC  

How exactly is it possible to live on a spinning water ball inside an infinite vacuum?

2020-03-13 13:02:34 UTC  

True, but what is keeping me on the floor, why do I fall when I jump

2020-03-13 13:08:49 UTC  

Like gravity itself has always seemed weird

2020-03-13 13:09:05 UTC  

Like how does it work at infinite distances

2020-03-13 13:09:14 UTC  

Never seemed like the truth
