How many of you believe the Earth is flat? Go.......

Eddie Bravo is fucking A+.

Correct me if I'm wrong:

The earth's curvature is 8" / mile.
Eddie claims that this means a drop of 6000' over a distance of 100 miles.

Looks like his math is way-off?

Looks like he's got his math way-off?

That’s what we’re arguing about. VB found a calculator but Space boy thinks its wrong and can’t seem to cite any references to confirm.

my bad, I didn’t post the link lol

To reiterate from post #326 “Here is a good example. As you can see, the exponents disappear from the variables once the equation is solved, as they do”

Thanks brudda.

I saw the post and responded but have only read up to page 10 at this point.

Thanks for the spoiler alert.

Interesting. The first result on Google is a calculator that shows a different number. I’ll eat then investigate further.

Here is VB’s link if you are interested
https://earthcurvature.com/

I reckon the math is indeed correct but it’s a little bit apples and oranges

Good luck with your investigation

Hi Sean, In the note you mentioned I did say "Hence the earth's surface curves at approximately 8 inches per mile." I should have said "Hence the earth's surface curves approximately 8 inches in one mile." I will go back and change it. By saying "8 inches per mile" it sounds like it will curve 16 inches in two miles and 4 inches in half a mile but this is not correct.”

You’ll know when I’m wrong when I start resorting to name calling, like you guys have lol

Yes, 8”

8” what? You’re really great at avoiding the point. Why are you seemingly unable to post an equation that we can verify?
