    More kooktardery. Videos of yourself claiming that "The Earth Is Flat" is not proof of anything. If I was delusional, I could make a video claiming that
    "The Earth Is A Triangle"!

    Would any sane person believe that? Of couse not, because there are very
    simple experiments you can do - on Earth - that prove Earth is round. Eratosthenes in Greece did this 2 thousand years ago.

    Today we have actual pictures. Why don't YOU launch yourself into space and take a picture of the "Flat Earth"?

    Idiot.

    Please, stop lying. You never where a globe Earth believer. You call
    yourself «Banjo», yet, you are a few banjos short of a functional banjo.

    As are all other flatards out there, you are in full panic mode with the
    Final Experiment that offers you a free trip to Antarctica next December.
    You are panicking because it destroys your claim that the Antarctic
    Treaty forbid peoples from going to Antarctica.
    You are panicking because seeing a 24 hours Sun in Antarctica disproves
    flat earth, and support the globe Earth.
    You are panicking because it WILL definitively expose you as the liar
    that you are and cut out your income.

    Didn't The Egyptians conduct a similar experiment even earlier than that
    .... by measuring the length of the shadow of a (vertical) pole at
    mid-day at two different locations??

    Today we have actual pictures. Why don't YOU launch yourself into
    space and take a picture of the "Flat Earth"?

    In a related effort, my Niece and Nephew-in-law took their 6 yo son and
    2 yo daughter on Holidays to Maroochydore on Queensland's Sunshine
    Coast. Just prior to landing, Oscar said he could see Japan out the
    plane's window.

    If the Horizon is about 20km away from about two meters high, how far
    away is the Horizon when at (What's a normal'ish flight level??) 10,000 meters??

    Idiot.

    From Maroochydore to southern Japan is about 6,800 km so this is
    pretty unlikely without a monumental atmospheric inversion. Even
    Papua New Guinea at 2,000 km is too far away.

    If the Horizon is about 20km away from about two meters high, how far
    away is the Horizon when at (What's a normal'ish flight level??) 10,000 >meters??

    At 2 m (.002 km), the horizon is approximately 5 km distant.

    At 10,000 m (10km), the horizon is approximately 357 km distant.

    Both figures computed using a spherical Earth with a radius of 6378.14
    km.

    In general, at x km above the surface, the horizon is
    sqrt(x*[12756.28+x]) km distant.

    Strictly, the Earth is an oblate spheroid. BUT, calling it a ball is
    perfectly correct as the oblateness is only 0.3%.
    Ball : Collection of points that are located at Radius or LESS from a
    centre point.

    A sphere is only a shell, while a ball is a solid.

    No. A sphere is ONLY the surface. Just a shell.

    How "similar" did you mean to get?? Those formulii look the same to me.

    The first one has strict equality, the second is less than or equal.

    That having been said, two corrections are needed:
    1. Both formulae should have R^2 rather than R.
    2. Some error bars are needed because there is about a 15 km difference
       between the polar and equatorial radii.

    Seems like you missed the root sign (✓)...

    A sphere is only a shell, while a ball is a solid.


    Calling the earth a 'ball' is an obvious smear tactic to science.


    Refusing to accept that the Earth is a ball is typical flatard
    behaviour.


    It's a sphere.


    No. A sphere is ONLY the surface. Just a shell.

    A formula for a sphere : ✓(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) = R = JUST a surface.
    The similar formula for a ball : ✓(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) ≤ R = The whole thing, >the surface and everything within.


    Splitting hairs. Nerd.

    How "similar" did you mean to get?? Those formulii look the same to me.

    The first one has strict equality, the second is less than or equal.

    That having been said, two corrections are needed:
    1. Both formulae should have R^2 rather than R.

    Hmm. I took the squiggles before the opening brackets as a square root
    sign so meaning that 'R' was fine!

    2. Some error bars are needed because there is about a 15 km difference
       between the polar and equatorial radii.

    Oh!! Picky! Picky! ;-P

    Andrew, one would have hoped you'd get a warmer reception
    here than you did in the other group.

    Are you going to sit there and accept these
    mainstream-math, establishment Deep State definitions?

    Maybe you could rise up and define your own balls?

    Do check into the FlatterE ideology. I think you'd find
    a lot of similarities to your own. Do your own research.
