Is the World Flat? The Flatlander's theory..

56 feet for 84 miles

(Im not busting your balls here honestly) What method are you using to get 56feet?

Pythagorean theorem

"The Earth has a radius of approximately 3965 miles. Using the Pythagorean theorem, that calculates to an average curvature of 7.98 inches per mile or approximately 8 inches per mile."

8" per mile = 84 miles x 8" = 672" / 12" = 56'

8" per mile = 84 miles x 8" = 672" / 12" = 56'

8" per mile x the distance squared.

8" per mile x the distance squared.

Where does it say 'x the distance squared'?

I would really like to see some evidence that we live on a ball earth please. Otherwise, the flat earth theory wins this debate.

You've been provided with evidence which you choose to reject.

The absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence. You still need to prove your flat Earth theory. Had you completed any law studies, you would've know that already. Since you didn't, you don't. Donkey.

[Padawanbater2]

Yeah, so where does it say 'x the distance squared'?

Look at the inches per mile
1=8
2=32
3=72
4=128
10=800

Where does it say in PT to square the distance?

To you

To anybody. The concept of gravity is easy to grasp on either side of this thread. But it doesn't make sense. You existing, me, and everyone and everything. Should not exist.

I bet most of you dumbasses here haven't even opened up an outer space encyclopedia but yet you wanna make it seem like you know what you're talking about, Rotfl

Not according to the second law of thermodynamics, anyways.

Balls. You deleted part of your post before I could quote it.

For those of you who missed it, reddan was trying to explain how the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be curved.

Go on..

Please provide the post in question.

Please provide the post in question.

You just deleted it. It was part of the post I quoted.

Something about how we're measuring point A to point B, the curved distance, or 'the hypotenuse'.

You probably read it back to yourself realized the flaw in your logic.

You are clutching at strings mate, the hypotenuse is the sum of A squared + B squared.
For someone so adamantly convinced of your own opinion, why do you have to clutch at strings and why can you not provide evidence for your belief?

a squared + b squared = c squared won't work for circumference, and won't allow you to see past a curve.

so if radius is 3960mi, diameter is 7920mi.

circumference is pi x diameter so 3.14 x 7920mi is 24,868.9mi circumference.

to use your right triangle, imagine quadrant 1 as in the graph posted above, so circumference divided by 4. so 24,868.8mi/4 is 6,217.2 mi.

so the circumference of the right triangle from the radius of earth is 6,217.2 miles...

Pythagoras theorem is a squared + b squared = c squared so:

(3960x3960) + (3960x3960)=31,363,200

the square root of 31,363,200 is the hypotenuse.

hypotenuse = 5600.28mi

circumference = 6217.2mi

Nah man ive actually done my fair share of reading not on the internet either, that's why i dont bother arguing about this subject.
