"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 🤷♂️
👍
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?
Why would you think warped space and time keeps you from floating?
How exactly is it possible to live on a spinning water ball inside an infinite vacuum?
True, but what is keeping me on the floor, why do I fall when I jump
Like gravity itself has always seemed weird
Like how does it work at infinite distances
Never seemed like the truth
the only thing you can prove to yourself is that the density of the medium changing is the direct cause of something rising or falling.
thats why gravity is a law WITHIN a ThEORY
Yeah I propose that the word "gravity" be banned in this channel. a Bot instantly mutes you for using it 🙂
it's a red herring
100% irrelevant to the shape of Earth's surface
A red herring for what?
