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

2020-02-15 18:04:46 UTC  

escape velocity

2020-02-15 18:05:56 UTC  

The more a plane flies higher the less air molecules are gonna be there which will make it harder for the plane to stay airborne, less oxygen results less combustible fuel to power the engine

2020-02-15 18:06:05 UTC  

ye

2020-02-15 18:06:22 UTC  

also most planes are self stabalising

2020-02-15 18:07:00 UTC  

The highest distance a plane flied above the surface was 123532 feet high but yet made it 1/3 the way to space
