I saw yesterday a post about: 2.9mi Horizon (x) 8in-per-mile formula claim earth curves (=) 24 inches. NEED ADVICE!

do the math. Earth is about 8,000 mi. diameter on average.

apply the numbers to this:

Ah thanks for that link!!!

But do you think the 8i per mile formula is a real equation or just something made-up?

Or is the 2,9mi Horizon a made-up assessment?

Because both CAN'T BE RIGHT a 24 inch sloping Horizon I could still see over!

I was trying to figure it out too. I've heard "8 inches per mile squared", whatever that means. 8inches times per mile squared? Not sure.

found some math on it.

Yeah squared, like when you tile your floor.

Still, 8 inches per mile then the 2.9mi Horizon curves by 24 inches. CAN'T BE RIGHT!

One or the other is wrong, or both, I'm sure someone here on GLP will point out the flaw and make the appropriate corrections.



correct the scietific world.

If you honestly believe this magical atmosphere can propel the soft moving or hardly moving clouds (and everything in the sky, including planes) at over 1,000 mph while maintaining the barely moving movement that they appear to have you are living in a magical fantasy world.

and if your magical fantasy world somehow did propel those airplanes at 1,000 mph in the same direction as earth, can you imagine the chaos when they fly against said atmosphere? LOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and at the end of the day, I can't even get upset with anyone who gets upset with my remarks because I understand the psychology behind your cognitive processes.

Just remember, you're on a conspiracy site, nothing is a coincidence, the one thing you can't question is what we live on and what space is.

History has been edited, space programs controlled, science hijacked..

all to fool the population into believing we live on something we don't... because that way we can't figure out the true secrets of our reality.

Nice find!!

But is it a legit formula or something posted for amusement?

Maybe the 2.9mi Horizon is wrong.

Someone with authority will come and make the corrections.

if the dia. of earth = 8,000 miles that's 42,240,000 feet.

so if we apply the formula of:

PA/PT = PT/PB

where:

PB = the distance above earth's surface that your eye is (about 5')

PA = diameter of earth plus PB

PT= The distance in feet to the horizon

We are solving for PT, thus PT = X

So, simplified we have:

42,240,005/X = X/5

Do the maths and X= 14,533' or 2.9 miles.

Are you trying to say the earth doesn't curve?

Then why do I see the Horizon?

math is not amusement. math is law. of course it's legit.

keep in mind that the 2.9 mile to horizon formula is based off of an eye level height at about 5' above ground.

There is a power law at work, so even small changes in height above the ground have huge changes in distance to horizon.

example, standing on just a 100' hill will allow you to see 13 miles to horizon. 100' in height gained 10 miles! See the power law at work now?

So what you're saying is the 8in per mile formula claim earth curves is wrong or the Horizon would just slope by 24 inches and I BE pretty sure everyone could see over 24 inches, even sitting on chair while typing on GLP!

Thanks for setting things straight again.

This link and formula is just a rubbish amusement equation.

Bear in mind that even women are 5i tall, seeing the Horizon at 2.9mi away curving by 24inch you could still see over it.

you can't say 8" per mile! it's not a linear equation!

The link says it!

"Hence the earth's surface curves approximately 8 inches in one mile."
[link to mathcentral.uregina.ca]

I'm in agreement with you that Horizon is 2.9mi, but that would make the formula on that link rubbish. Because both scientific statement CAN'T BE RIGHT or the 2.9mi Horizon would slope due to earth's surface curves approximately 8 inches in one mile for a total curvature on 24 inches.

I think most dogs can see over 24inches.

Thanks for de-bunking the 8in-formula.

the 8" per mile works like this:

you have to add the previous mile's 8" plus the new8" to every mile. So for 3 miles you'd have

Mile 1 = 8"
Mile 2 = 8"+8"
Mile 3 = 8"+8"=8"

thus, 8 + (8+8) + (8+8+8) and you get 56" or just under 5'. There is some rounding so that's why the number is a bit short.

the 8" per mile is correct. you are just applying the math incorrectly. do the fucking math for christ's sake!

It's a bit complex what you're proposing.

Because the earth is said to be 25,000mi in circumference, using your formula at the 25th-thousand-mile the earth would slope by what, 2million inches?

Maybe the Horizon statement is wrong.

Someone with authority will come and make the corrections the authorities previously made.

That's right!

That's what it says, 8 inches per mile.

Every mile, the earth curves 8 inches, hence at 2.9 mi is roughly 24 inches.

I can spit over a 24in height.

do you even know the difference between circumference and diameter? Can you do maths?

Yep. But it curves UP not down.

Tricks.

how many times do I have to say it's not linear?! Youre fucking retarded. It doesnt work like that.

2.9 miles = about 5' of drop. not 24". it's not 8" per mile X the number of miles = the drop.

Look at the formula I posted earlier and apply the maths.

Yes the circumference is the measurement around the spherical earth, its diameter is a clear transverse right thru its center. And 8inches per mile earth curve is a 24 inch curvature at 2.9 miles.

Its complex, don't worry someone with authority is due to arrive and make the corrections of the previous authorities.

I beg to differ.

Anywhere one stands on the sphere they are standing at the highest point. It slopes down. It couldn't slope-up or we'd be walking uphill all the time.

We are. 8-)

Proven in 1897 Already by the Teed/Morrow experiment.

Conveniently scrubbed from history though.

Why else do you think we are still stuck here? Could have colonies on the Moon and Mars for decades already.

The link says it!

If I was to apply your formula and because the earth is said to be 25,000mi in circumference, using your formula at the 25th-thousand-mile the earth would slope by 2million inches.

I think you're off.

Where are you buddy?

Let's go for a 5mi jog.

You formulate how many inches the earth curves at the 1st-mi, and so on to the 5th, then we'll walk back together and you see how ridiculous your pretzel math is.

Sorry friend but 8 + (8+8) + (8+8+8) is 48in. 4 feet.

I can still spit over a 4ft height.

Well I'm off to find info on the Princess cruise-liner height and figure out at how many miles from the shoreline I would see that mammoth of a ship disappear over the ocean Horizon using the 8in-per-mile formula. Wish me luck!

Be back later to see who's who on GLP.

Still me, or them!
