not much...just smashing another troll

2019-12-07 16:56:01 UTC  

how goes it?

2019-12-07 16:56:19 UTC  

flat smackin and troll whackin

2019-12-07 16:56:24 UTC  

Aye man I'm good just gonna go get some food me thinks

2019-12-07 16:56:25 UTC  

More precise calculations lol. That estimate was determined thousands of years ago... we have better tools now

2019-12-07 16:56:37 UTC  

oh great. please describe these tools

2019-12-07 16:56:43 UTC  

even better....can you send me a link to the paper?

2019-12-07 16:56:52 UTC  

scientific publication please

2019-12-07 16:57:01 UTC  

let me know if you need me to remind you what that is

2019-12-07 16:57:19 UTC  
2019-12-07 16:58:22 UTC  

Never heard of Eratosthenes?

2019-12-07 16:59:09 UTC  

yes of course.

2019-12-07 16:59:09 UTC  

They didn’t publish many papers back then

2019-12-07 16:59:37 UTC  

He did his calculations assuming Earth was a sphere and the sun was very large and very far away (i.e. parallel rays)

2019-12-07 16:59:49 UTC  

I'm talking about these "better tools" that we have now

2019-12-07 17:00:21 UTC  

please send information about these "tools" in the form of a scientific publication. thanks 😉

2019-12-07 17:00:47 UTC  

should be many dozens by now...

2019-12-07 17:00:54 UTC  

if not hundreds.

2019-12-07 17:00:57 UTC  

but one will be fine

2019-12-07 17:06:40 UTC  

What about trigonometry? By finding the angle between a plain and a mountain top, as long as you know the height of the mountain top, and the dip angle, you can simply apply the laws of sines

2019-12-07 17:08:08 UTC  

Still didn’t give perfect results, but it was close to what Eratosthenes calculated

2019-12-07 17:08:43 UTC  

The reason why a perfect calculation couldn’t exist back then it because they didn’t know the Earth wasn’t a perfect sphere (due to its rotation)

2019-12-07 17:09:22 UTC  

But that fact also gives more ways to calculate it

2019-12-07 17:10:30 UTC  

great. just waiting on that information on the new methods and the paper. thanks

2019-12-07 17:14:08 UTC  

Doesn’t matter. You can find it yourself. Proof usually stays true no matter how much time passes

2019-12-07 17:14:37 UTC  

16:48] Ledgic: A sphere is 180 degrees so

2019-12-07 17:14:46 UTC  

you could have stopped there

2019-12-07 17:14:49 UTC  

I meant 360 obvs

2019-12-07 17:15:03 UTC  

Not that you’d have any idea about what I’m talking about anyway

2019-12-07 17:17:02 UTC  

hi fephd, this guy is a good example of a glober

2019-12-07 17:17:28 UTC  

yo flat earthers

2019-12-07 17:17:46 UTC  

So no one cares about proof hey

2019-12-07 17:17:52 UTC  

fg=mg

2019-12-07 17:17:55 UTC  

prove that

2019-12-07 17:18:00 UTC  

hello firefox

2019-12-07 17:18:18 UTC  

if the earth is flat then why does fg=mg

2019-12-07 17:18:46 UTC  

because f=m

2019-12-07 17:18:47 UTC  

That has nothing to do with Earth being flat or round...

2019-12-07 17:19:07 UTC  

ok

2019-12-07 17:19:13 UTC  

Yes of course it does

2019-12-07 17:19:30 UTC  

why would gravity be mutually exclusive to a flat-surfaced Earth?
