And as some postulate, if you think there’s curve at the surface, you can’t defend yourself when we elevate, and whatever curve you thought you saw disappears.

If I am in the USA and walk a perfect straight line for an enough amount of length

2020-02-15 17:57:33 UTC  

I will o back to the USA

2020-02-15 17:57:35 UTC  

Go

2020-02-15 17:57:52 UTC  

Not encountering any edges

2020-02-15 17:57:53 UTC  

Straight line you say..

2020-02-15 17:58:41 UTC  

What’s these lines

2020-02-15 17:58:43 UTC  

Planes?

What if we throw the earth into the sun like a frisbee

2020-02-15 17:58:45 UTC  

what lines

2020-02-15 17:59:16 UTC  

Hm I don’t understand

2020-02-15 17:59:18 UTC  

You wouldn’t walk an actual ‘straight line’ around the earth.

2020-02-15 17:59:25 UTC  

You’d be doing a large circle.

2020-02-15 17:59:29 UTC  

Yeah

2020-02-15 17:59:32 UTC  

?

2020-02-15 17:59:33 UTC  

I mean that

2020-02-15 17:59:41 UTC  

mean what

2020-02-15 17:59:53 UTC  

if you are responding to whoever that is i have them blocked

2020-02-15 18:00:02 UTC  

I walk a line that curves very slowly but I will eventually turn 360 degrees

2020-02-15 18:00:07 UTC  

Around earth

2020-02-15 18:00:11 UTC  

yes

2020-02-15 18:00:21 UTC  

a straight line on a sphere is a thing

2020-02-15 18:00:24 UTC  

I’m responding to him u blocked

2020-02-15 18:00:39 UTC  

C

2020-02-15 18:00:51 UTC  

Whatever, since this chat is not moderated, I’m not going to bother.

2020-02-15 18:01:00 UTC  

its more general because in spherical space you can move in a straight line
its just called a geodesic

2020-02-15 18:01:30 UTC  

I’m in the USA, if I walk a perfect straight line for an enough amount of distance I’ll eventually get to USA again

2020-02-15 18:01:43 UTC  

The line I walk curves so little you can’t even notice it

2020-02-15 18:01:54 UTC  

Because of the size of earth and how long your traveling

2020-02-15 18:02:06 UTC  

because in more abstract spaces you need to define what a straight line is
all you do is define a metric in that space and from that you can derive a straight line called a geodesic

2020-02-15 18:02:14 UTC  

But I am gonna some point turn 60 degrees 90 and at some point 360 degrees

2020-02-15 18:02:35 UTC  

And USA lies in the 360 degrees

2020-02-15 18:02:39 UTC  

That I’ve just crossed

2020-02-15 18:03:06 UTC  

some would say that the metric defines the space

2020-02-15 18:03:36 UTC  

Planes can’t fly to space and go outside of earth cause of gravity not allowing that

2020-02-15 18:03:38 UTC  

Simple

2020-02-15 18:04:20 UTC  

You can’t escape earths gravity unless you travel equally or above 25000 mph

2020-02-15 18:04:31 UTC  

from its surface
