Did they teach you?
even though the teacher was giving us the answers-
Then how is it difficult?
geometrics proofs 🤤
I’m not good at
?
Geometric proofs
What's a geometric proof?
showing why a geometric statement is true using prostulates
yes the congruence rules
What is a postulate?
Congruence and similarity of triangle relationships?
Also with circles, and straight lines
yeah exactly you dont need to remember all the reference angles
Yep
I saw one where how they memorized trig values
It’s you write sin and cos on bottom
sohcahtoa
Circles have relationships too?
rules specific to geometry
no pi is exactly equal to the ratio of a circles diameter to its circumference
And then take sqrt on all
it was really long
yes yes i use that for trig values
oooo geometric proofs
And you know
they are so satisfying
Oh okay
Write 30,45,60,90
How?
And you simplify
I have another trick
rules, like ASA postulate, SSS postulate etc
1,2,3 on sin and cos, 3,2,1 as well
any of u guys in an IB school?
idk but when you find the answer its so good
And write 3,9,27
Sin and cos are over two and tan is over 3
when you see that M is the midpoint of EJ so EM is congruent to MJ
And take the sqrt and simplify
cbrt better
pi/4 radians
This does not make sense ngl
Thanks to my Landry machine
IS THAT A MICROWAVE?
After the trick it would looked like this
But sin on one row and cos on the bottom
That’s on my method
i use this method
then tan = sin/cos
just like undefined
like a cross meaning you cant do it
Is this true that x = 5.9585
correct
Cause it shouls be 5 x tan(50°) because opposite and adjacent
5tan(50) = 5.95876...
Nice
although its not 5.9585 maybe you read your calc wrong
Oh i did i think
yeah
Yeah
its 5tan(50) anyways tho good job
Thanks :> Im starting to learn how to use trigonometry on triangles so my guided study teach printed me some papers to work on
thats cool, use the acronym sohcahtoa if you dont already know it
Yeah i know
yeah if you know that you should be set tbh
Alright
how do i rotate a point around the origin
circle formula
analytical geometry
ok
did i do it right 🥹
My mind has been blown
Do not troll
Is this right?
the angles you've labelled are right, yes
thanks I will continue practice.
uh no, yeah, I haven't learn any math geometry in English. I will try next time
How do I solve this type of questions? (This is the solution btw) I ironically got a close answer that's 1432.4 after finding tan(2degrees) by first converting it into radians and then mistakenly taking that for it's tan because that's what you do for small radians (and 2degrees is not so small for comparison). Well after all that, I don't know how else to find answer to that equation or should I js rely on the online calculator?
Determine by calculation whether the lines passing through points DE and AB are parallel. My answer is no
what's your reasoning for saying no
The lines A B and DE are not parallel to each other because the corresponding angles are of different sizes. Translated thro chatGBT
don't recommend using AI for math
use your own reasoning
which angles on the pic do you think are corresponding?
A and E not the same angle B D not the same angle?
the pair A and E aren't corresponding angles
neither is B with D
then my answer NO was right
what notes are giving you that idea?
no
🙁 this is difficult. Grade 7 book question
they are in Finnish 😄 brb
can someone explain me power of a point
corresponding angles by itself isn't specific to parallel lines
you'd first need to identify the correct pairs of angles (which you did not)
and then determine if those are equal to see if the lines are parallel
Language difficulties... I ask my friend
the math/diagrams themselves would be the same
alright, I be back. I will think about it
in this topic, you should see
F, C, Z/N
shapes
corresponding angles would be associated with the F shape
looking up at your previous problem, you applied corresponding angles correctly there
So is the answer yes
Or what
Let the op try do it.
It has to be, right
again, not going to give a direct answer,
let the op try do it / justify with their reasoning.
There, I used Goodnotes to draw on it BE 50 and AD 59 "Yhdensuuntaiset"=corresponding angles same degrees
yes, good the pair of green are corresponding
same as the pair of yellow
are each pair equal?
so are the lines DE and AB parallel?
yes
Good teacher
This took a while.
Wait I just realized, could you use trigonometry like (s/2) • tan(54°) in a pentagon to get apothem
Let H be an arbitrary point inside ∆ABC. Let ∆A'B'C' be the image of ∆ABC under a homothety with center H and an arbitrary ratio k. Let ∆XYZ be the medial triangle of the cevian triangle of H wrt ∆ABC. Prove that ∆A'B'C' and ∆XYZ are perspective.
Am I trippin?
I'm trying ||Trig Ceva w/ directed angles|| but it's messy
The original problem was:
∆ABC with altitudes AD,BE,CF concurrent at H. M,N,P are the midpoints of AH, BH, CH, resp. Prove the Gauss-Newton line of MFHE, NDHF, PEHD concur
I generalized it
So it's a bit messy
ohh i didnt understand anything btw

looks so dense
Which is why I generalized it
Still looks dense
Same
anyone knows how they got the Radius of earth?
You can find it using the height of mount everest
In addition we can view it from space and get an estimated result
how they measured the radius before satelites?
they knew the radius before satelites and it was pretty much accurate
to what they say it is now
I think socrates measured it by doing smth with the sun and its shadow
so he measured elevation angles from earth surface to the sun
but i tought angles dont curve
hyperbolic angles do
according to my friend in calculus BC:
sinh, cosh, tanh, etc. are all for doing sin, cos, tan, etc. for HYPERBOLIC angles
but thats just a convertion from euclidian geometry
you can only mathematicaly convert it but it will violate the base principle of an angle
and also you wouldnt be able to measure it in degrees
an angle is 2 straight lines meeting at a vertex
they just give it the name "hyperbolic angle" but is not an angle and cannot be use as an angle measurment
whole Earth was mapped with latitude longitude from measuring elevation angles to the stars
they used Polaris the north star from Polaris Zenith (90 degree angle measurement to the North star) and sailed awawy from it until 0 degree angle and thats where they established the equator
thats how we got the latitude system with degrees
and Celestial Navigation uses a tool call sextant, you can find your way at sea or navigate the whole earth with that
There is a Celestial Navigation Almanac (a book) with 57 stars used
you can find out where you are at sea if you just measure elevation angles to 3 different stars and based on the degrees measured you will draw circles of equal altitude annd find exact locatiom where you are
they use this tool called sextant
right angle triangles are used in this
i have no clue what youre talking ab but that sounds sick
how does it show where you are? is it where they intersect?
yes
you can use 2 stars
but for exact location you will use 3 stars
so 3 circles that intersect
they use a clock, a sextant and a compass
whos they?
the mariners
oh ok
before GPS invented
but they still have emergency sextants
in case gps fails
and some mariners still navigate like that out of passion
thats cool to know ngl
how does it actually work? what stars? how do they measure the angle? how do they sketch 3 circles?
they have like a plotting sheet
the sextant is like a double lense with a arc of protractor you will align the sea level (horizon) to the star view and then read the angle
you also then calculate the dip angle from eye level to sea level
welcome, hope you realize that this only works because earth is flat. It wouldnt work on a curving earth.
Elevation angles require a flat baseline
and we do measure them from sea level and use the to navigate earth
you purely believe the earth is flat?
well yeah on a small scale its flat
at all scales
from Polaris GP ground position til 0 degree thats 5400 miles flat
at all scales and all types of measurements
is measured flat without exception
are you saying that, from a birds eye view, the earth is a circle
what?
i dont know the shape of earth
i just know is flat
flat is an aspect not a shape
flat implies shape
flat is an aspect
ok but by saying flat are you describing the earth as a cylinder?
just flat
could be any shape
2D
but it spreads from North
to South in all directions
bro what?
no not conventionally?
the compass is a 2 dimensional tool
2D implies the earth has no height
its a single directionality
not curved
linear distance
distance is linear
there is no measured curvature of earth
well yes, because when you travel or move in a direction you move a distance
but technically youre moving on an arc of a circle
yes in reality
in reality we measure earth flat
in reality there are 0 curve measurments of earth
Earth us surveyed with triangulation, trilateration and trigonometry
and linear distances
isnt that obvious? there is no curvature because we see everything as flat
but its actually curved
a right angle triangle is formed from the ground position of the north star
and an observer view at a 45 degrees angle
of the north star
we see stuff as flat
the baseline is flat
so its measured as flat
but we do navigate earth
using these elevation angle measurements
you cannot aquire an angle measurment if the baseline of the angle curves
yes, within eye sight the baseline of the angle is flat
but if you think theoretically like far enough its curved
so you are saying its flat and then it curves
celestial navigation uses circles of equal altitude at extremely big distances thousands of miles and give accurate location
if you like 500m ahead of you its flat, however 1000km ahead wouldnt be flat
those are not small distances or scales
educate me then im geniunely curious
how does celestial navagation work
why does it work
and how can you represent 3d onto 2d
additionally, how accurate?
i will share a short 13 minute youtube video
you watch it so you know what im talking about here
and then we can discuss more
There is no longer a debate. The Earth has been PROVEN FLAT!
2020 was Year of the Black Swan, 2021 is Year of the Sextant.
Flat Earth School presents, The Number One Flat Earth Proof - Celestial Navigation with a Sextant. It is only possible on a Flat Plane looking at a Flat Celestial Plane above you.
Become a Patron to get access to members ...
it doesnt directly pinpoint where things are
on paper yes where the circles intersect gives a location, but realistically the distance of where the ship actually could be looks like 100s of kms
the point is, if the earth was flat, where does it end? could you just walk off the edge?
exactly its impractical
who said anything about theories? im talking measurements here
You cant measure a flat earth since it doesnt exist
Yeah, seems like a waste of time
is about celestial navigation
the whole earth was measured with elevation angles to the lights in the sky
you cannot aquire an elevation angle measurment from a curved baseline
angles dont curve
we can discuss the measurements and maybe get to a point with them
In 3d they do curve
In fact we can draw a 90 degree triangle on a sphere
how do you measure the angle in degrees if the baseline curves then?
you assume its 2d on a smaller scale
im talking North till equator scale
5400 miles
thats not small scale
and it still works
no where near accurately tho?
thats how latitude system was created what you mean not accurate
not the one we use today probably not
Mercator is inaccurate
gps is based on surveyed land and cel nav
gps is cartesian system grid
derived from latitude and longitude and surveyed lands
regardless of gps, if we compare the first ever lat system to todays lat system its probably a lot different
is same
every 69 miles moving away from North is 1 degree of latitude
and longitude is measured from latitude
equator is at 0 degree elevation angle measurment to the North star
we can accurately measure it using sattelite imagery
all other ways are inefficient
yeah but is it as accurate as satelite imagery?
the 3D is only a convertion from 2D
You can look at photos and videos they give you and say is from satelites orbiting earth
and believe in the globe
based on those photos
but just know that earth is measured flat
thats how its measured alwyas
It looks flat sure
so where is the curve measured?
yes bro because on a small scale curvature doesnt matter gravity keeps you on earth why is curvature relevant?
but thats on an incredibly small scale
Zoom in enough to the earh and it will look flat
at all scales earth is measured flat
Approximation
and maps are measured in squared miles
And its an incredibly small difference
where is the curve in the measurements
We feel like earth is flat
this is a waste of time i got an exam tmrw, bro honestly your argument is futile
okay so we only see the earth as a globe from satelite imagery
but where are the measured curves?
there is 0 measured curvature
thats how its measured
yes
sea level is horizontal
blind leading the blind
sea level is paralel with eye level and surface level and flight level
altitude is measured perpendicular to sea level
is not that serious
hm?
i know is hard to grasp it
so you said the earth is flat correct?
yes because its measured that way
if the earth is flat as you said; is the earth is a cylinder? or does it have no height?
lol
scroll up he waffles about it birdy
we can literally dig down into the earth
any deviation from the horizontal baseline is measured with rise over run
that means its a cylinder
hahahha
With your logic
so the earth is a cylinder
Recently a guy travelled to antartica to prove the earth is round
???
so he traveled horizontaly in a linear distance toward south a horizontal linear direction
…
then where is the curve? who measured the curve?
are you stupid?
no need to use ad hominem
hahaha
you and your stupid flat earth ideologies should go to antarctica and see for yourself
alr cool think about it like this
you still failed to give me any measurements of a curve
is the length of the base of a triangle equal to the length of the hypotenuse?
yes or no
not waffle
whats the hypotenuse?
the longest side of a right angle triangle
no no but this is key
Yup and place it on a sphere and it will bend
is not
ok thank you
but on a 3d scale from a birds eye view
the hypotenuse and base have the same length
point proven
ggwp
LMAO
ehat you mean 3d scale?
3d mate
on a globe?
(x,y,z)
read his points dude
Dont just speak for the heck of it
make useful statements
you still didnt explain how you can aquire an elevation angle measurement from a curved baseline
Bro
a 45 degree elevation angle to the north star for example
curvature is not measured on small scales, youre travelling in a flat straight line due to gravity, so therefore imagine that occurring as you travel across the earth
but you can use multiple circles of equal altitude
goodnight brother
so that would be the whole earth
we discuss tomorrow
not a small scale
birdy take over gng
nah im good fam
cya ryze
pinpoint a location from a piece of a4 paper thats 10cm by 10cm over 10000s of kms
cya bro
the compass on the phone will give you these measurements too
pinpoint a location from a piece of a4 paper thats 30cm by 30cm over 10000s of kms
how are you managing that?
you cant
thats the point
the error interval is too big
69 miles is 1 latitude degree
stop waffling
you cannot do this
precisely
and extremely accurately
is not about being extremly accurate, is about the thing that it works to navigate the whole earth
how do you use these elevation angle measurments to navigate earth
you cannot do it on a curved surface
ok so its not accurate, so are you saying, as you stated that this was used to map the earth and is still used today, that the map of the earth is also wrong?
like 0.5 nautical miles accurate
@sage wren do you agree gravity exists
Wasnt proven
@sage wren ok let me ask you this
what keeps us on earth?
literally
when you jump
density
You turned this into an earth is round chat
why dont you float away
we are denser than air
That doesnt matter
if grsvity didnt exist we would all still float away
thats your claim
and wait hold on
but where is the scientific evidence
Learn Newton and Einsteins works
newton says mass attracts mass
They have rigorous proofs
clouds have mass and they are not going down
Oho he says much more
Its a gas
Yeah its mass is less than gravitys force
less what?
Ill end off here
brother its mass is less
loool
any evidence you can aqurie an elevation angle measurement from a curved baseline?
thats what i want to discuss for now
alr cool ill end off here too
no we will not
in Cel Nav they do use elevation angles to navigate the oceans and yes an angle is not curving
you tried to change subject to run away from the elevation angle measurement
does gravity exist?
yes or no
so waiting you to adreess that first
you have a claim to make?
does gravity exist
no waffle does gravity exist
if you want to support gravity then bring up the scientific method and show how it proved gravity
i never said i support it
Therefore you answer yes, then the earth is round
If no, then research gravity
im asking you a question
Search it yourself you chud
gravity as a force that attracts mass no
Answer this simple question then we are done
you do not need to give a definition or attempt to classify your answer
If you dont answer it we are done
im not denying things are not falling down
never said that
but not all things go down
no
im asking a question
yes or no
both Newtonian and Einsteinien gravity were never proven so no, they dont exist
just some concepts
you do not need to give a definition or attempt to classify your answer
you do not need to give a definition or attempt to classify your answer
you do not need to give a definition or attempt to classify your answer
you do not need to give a definition or attempt to classify your answer
yes or no
.
Gravity has been proven
just type no
does not make u win an argument bro
please no classification
then show how
a yes or no question does not need additionally waffle
i did, and its not proven with the scientific method
so no then yeah?
its a yes for me
Look at the context
no one asked you but okay fair enough mate
yes or no @sage wren
Scientific method deals with observing natural phenomena and establishing the cause
gravity was never proven
so no yeah?
no
no gravity does not exist correct?
its a public channel wdym bro
what is gravity for you?
0/10 ragebait
does gravity exist
one last time
yes or no
lol
mbmb
what is gravity for you?
does gravity exist
a force that attracts mass to the center of earth?
does gravity exist? yes or no
Answer the quesiton @sage wren
if this is what gravity is for you then no it does not exist
does gravity exist? yes or no
i already did
Stop rebuttling and answer the question
does gravity exist? yes or no answer only. no waffle allowed
Restate it
does gravity exist? yes or no answer only. no waffle allowed
no
lol
Cya
cya
imma dip too
R u in canada by chance
cya
nah uk bro
Alr cya
Any evidence you can aquire an elevation angle measurement from a curved baseline?
Or any evidence of gravity?
go outside and throw something
any evidence the reasons why some thing fall is due to a force that pulls them to the center of earth?
yo bro go play some angry birds
alr
you chose to use Red herring and ad hominem fallacy instead of showing any evidence
I dont want to go into science here guys
lets stick to geometry
any evidence we can aquire an elevation angle measurements from a curved baseline and use the measurement to navigate earth?
We know already that we do navigate and measure earth using this method so any evidence it would work on a globe?
i love solving everything through coordinate geometry
you meant complex right
Has anyone ever taken a moment to appreciate how beautiful the circle formula is
hmm...
dam
It's quite a gorgeous formula
greetings, anyone managed to figure this out?
no
unless thats what it is
i just pretend its a coordinate plane and plot everything
maibe
where is the scientific method that proves gravity, i wanna see it
you see
you will see its flawed
you just made an observation that things fall down, i asked you to prove the cause of it
hmm
mass
uh
i thik
mass attracts mass?
clouds have mass? helium has mass?
gravity is weak
do you see them going down?
you need to prove it exists before saying its weak
other forces are much more stronger
for example
take a magnet as large as the earth
how strong do you think it will be?
we can prove magnets
but we need to prove gravity before comparing it to other forces
Science uses the scientific method to prove things
Scientific method:
- Observe natural phenomena ( an event happening in nature)
- Question what caused it
- hypothesis ( make a guess on what would be the cause)
- dependent variable ( the specific factor being measured, tested, or observed in an experiment or study)
- independent variable (the specific factor manipulated, changed, or selected by a researcher in an experiment to evaluate its effect on dependent variable)
if changes made to the independent variable affects the dependent variable then hypothesis is supported, if no changes are observed in the dependent variable after manipulating the independent variable then hypothesis not supported.
- Conclusion ( it will always prove a positive or a negative)
This is the scientific method, is the empirical way to prove things in nature, gravity was not proven positive with this.
they go down because of the gravitational pull of the earth
or something like that
thats just a claim.
check the scientific method above, and try to apply it to gravity.
1 apple falls
2 hmmmm why is it
3 someone thinks its due to some force pulling everything down (gravity)
4 shi falling or not
5 height
6 shi always falls therefore gravity exists
Can anyone hit me hard with high logic geometry question
distance would be a better term instead of height
I mean height is commonly used for vertical distance
height is distance
distance is more general
Still for this use case i think height is more suitable
hmm
what will you do in space?
I dont see how this is better
So yeah 
dem
in general
we use radius
in the gravity formula
distance can be used for radius
thus
distance is better
while height can technically be true...
i think distance is better
Yes but this is just an intuitive example not full blown math formula, also saying "distance is better bcz its used in formula" is just appeal to authority (guy who wrote it as that)
its not authority
its generality
we need to be general for terms
i am talking for general stuffs
So we are talking about different things? Sighs
Ig your right on that part
But why would you nitpick some detail like that?
we are talking about the same thing
idk
confusion not good in science
I dont think so
we must have general term for a thing
Height is perfectly understandable in this case
it is
If it works it works duh
it definitely is
Appeal to authority (in this case einstein)
appeal to generality
correction
in math and in science
the term that is used the most is used
most of the terms we use in math can also be considered appeal to authority by your logic
you forgot euler?
Nope
Also how tf does euler relate here
Eulers number is just a name
For a number
But "height" is also just a name for the distance to the ground smh
I just call it that and people just understand it lmao
Actually distance is even more confusing than height
As distance to what?
bro
f(x) is euler's notation
i that is used for imaginary number is also euler's notation
pi was also influenced by euler
euler used 2pi before that
also
YOU define distance
distance from earth to sun
distance from eiffel tower to the groud
anything
your argument is baseless
i am not attacking
so dont take it personally
i am just trying to show a logical argument
Height is implicity distance to ground. There is nothing confusing about it. I think in this case "distance" is more confusing and not appropriate for my example. This is my point and your trying to say that i should use "distance" because its more general.
good enough
Generality != usefulness in my case
hmm
also true
but yeah
uh
i accept it
Ok
for other stuffs i think distance is better but relative to groud height is better
This
talking about earth in general btw
<@&268886789983436800>
not for ALL of the gravitational phenomenon
<@&268886789983436800>
Ok
:]
- apple falls
2.what caused it - a force pulling mass towards center of earth
- a measured maximum acceleration rate of 9.8m/s^2
- height dropped from, weight, size, shape of object.
- conclusion independent variable does not affect the dependent therefore gravity not proven, hypothesis not supported
yey
Damn 2 came at the same time?
also clouds and gases are also mass and they dont go down
why was his message deleted?
Advertising
ah
No. 4 means such a force exists and is applied to the object regardless of height dropped, weight, size, shape,... Therefore 6
We know a force is needed to accelerate shi
uh huh
And gravity is just the name we gave to such force
uh huh huh
you failed to manipulate the dependent with the independent so therefore you cannot prove your hypothesis
thats how scientific method proves
huh interesting
also mass does not always attracts mass
as you can see the clouds not falling
or helium going up
havent thought of that
Also there is another issue
your hypothesis says a force pulling mass to the "Center" of earth
that is an assumption that earth is a sphere
you need to know the Radius of that sphere
how was the Radius measured?
nuh uh
your argument is assuming a perfect sphere
earth's gravity is not perfect
or wait
it is
maybe no but yeah
you get the point
the earth as an overall structure pulls everything down'
those are just claims, not facts
also as for the clouds
einstine
clouds dont fall because of the rising air
you can google it
Einstein gravity superseded Newtonian gravity
yes
clouds dont fall and helium does not go down, hot air balloon goes up too
and it says that earth makes a curvature due to its mass
an apple dropped from under the water will rise to the surface
as you can see there are many examples of mass not attracting mass
what do you mean by this?
there are separate phenomenons for those things
helium is also mass and does not go down
it depends
same logic as air
if an item is light than water
it will come up
go on drop a heavy stone and see
can you prove it?
your argument is forgetting that other forces exist too
with the scientific method?
ok ok
show me the method
i aint going up to find it
alr
so uh
imma come here after eating food
I WILL PROVE YOU WRONG
i write it above, i will reply to it
okay okay
here
thnx broski
You need to prove that you are right
Alright. Here we go:
- Newton observed and though that the old aristotle mechanics was flawed. So he decided to make a better system and used force.
- He thought if there is force behind every acceleration. Then what if the same force is acted upon us on earth that we see as a downward push? He called that gravity.
- He hypothsized that the same force that he called gravity that is behind the downward pus we feel is also behind the orbit of the earth and pretty much everything held by the sun and the same with the whole universe?
- The things that he believed that the dependent variable is g which is the gravitational potential. He hypothsized that g directly proportional to mM/(d squared).
- It is clear from the gravitational potential equation that the independent variables are mass and distance.
- After the experiments, he concluded that he was in fact right. Gravity really is the thing that pulls us and everything close.
oops
i accidentally pressed enter
@sage wren
there
here
imma go enjoy my sweet victory
AHAHAHAHHAAH
L bozo
in order to support your hypothesis, your independent variable needs to be manipulated and affect the dependent variable wich in your example it does not
also the step 1 is to observe natural phenomena wich is simply things falling to the ground
also you cannot include the center of earth without the known Radius of earth
that means you are assuming earth is a sphere without proving it
your scuentific method example is completely flawed
heres how he official scientific method applied to gravity looks like
- Objects falling to the ground
- what caused it
3.a force pulling mass to center of earth
4.a measured acceleration rate of maximum 9.8m/s^2 - height dropped from,size,weight,shape of object.
Changing the independent variable does not affect the dependent variable.
6. conclusion, hypothesis not supported
Also how did they measure the radius of earth? Spoiler alert: they didnt measure any radius
@daring sierra
What...
it is alreaady proved
fym
it was known since the ancient times
not even joking
How did they measuee the Radius of earth?
using...
TRIGNOMETRYYY
there is actually a great video by 3b1b on this
it features terry tao too
any evidence you can do trigonometry on a curved surface?
that only works on flat earth
an angle requires 2 straight lines meeting at a vertex
bru
I SAID WATCH
OR I WILL DISINTEGRATE YOU
a triangle is 3 lines connecting to form 3 angles with a 180 degrees sum
i already know how they "measure it"
good
they didnt they just measured elevation angles
you cannot aquire an elevation angle measurement from a curved baseline
awh man
earth must be flat and it is in order for elevation angle measueements to work
Any evidence you can aquire an rlevation angle measurement from a curved baseline?
yet you all failed to show evidence of gravity using the scientific method
should be easy right? yet i see you have alot of flaws
changes made to the independent variable needs to affect the dependent variable in order for hypothesis to be supported.Is very simple.
if we are talking science
if Not.. then is pseudo science
is not ragebait, its called cognitive dissonance what you are experiencing
,w define dissonance
8king also, the point is they didnt measure an angle from a curved baseline
Youre misunderstanding things
Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort caused by holding a belief that conflicts with evidence or facts, leading to mental tension or rationalization.
yes i know, they measured the angle from a flat baseline
They did not use a single flat baseline from the north pole to the equator, angle measurements are taken from the local horizon at that position
so from earth surface then
The change in angles over distance is what proves the earth is curved lol
an angle requires 2 straight lines
you got the earth surface and line of sight to a star
angle drops due to increasing distance
an angle does not curve
.
does an angle curve?
Are you dumb?
in celestial navigation, we use the horizontal baseline as part of the angle
an angle does not curve
instead of ad hominem logical fallacies you could adress the matter
An angle does use two straight lines and thats exactly whats happening, the line of sight to the star is one straight line, and the other is your local horizontal line, that tangent is straight, not curved. Youre not using the whole earth as a baseline, just the tiny flat bit at your location
Im addressing it mate
just a tiny bit? how long? 🤣
The angle measurement is local, not across the whole earth
There isnt a fixed distance
approx
Its flat locally
tell me a distance
The direction of the tangent at your position changes as you move
so you are using a tangent plane
then is not Earth that you are measuring in that case
you say your local horizon is flat and then after a distance it curves? 🤣
Bro key word
Locally
thats a tangent
couldnt work
you are not measuring earth then
a tangent is a point to a sphere
Yes imagine that over every single unit of distance
a line to a sphere touching at a single point
thats not a line is a point then
can you make an angle from a point and a line?
No no let me speak
you need 2 lines
Listen
You have two lines and those two lines are measured at every single point on earth so yes it is tangential LOCALLY
Locally you smart guy
Saying that we measure from a tangent plane means we are not measuring from earth surface then
you cannot navigate earth using a random angle
is not just an angle is an "elevation" angle
elevation of surface level
measured perpendicular to surface
from 90 degrees to 0 in Cel Nav
Okay? So youre measuring the elevation angle locally and it changes as you move
A tangent plane is imaginary.
is a plane in the outter space
the only part of a tangent plane is where you are sitting
so your feet a point
how you you neasure an angle with a point and a line
that tangent is imaginary, correct?
The tangent is from the point, the point is not the tangent
is the tangent line physical?
Well no i cant walk on the tangent line and fuck off into space can i mate
so how do you use a tangent to navigate earth
if the tangent is imaginary
spreading into outter space
Once again, youre using two lines so you can measure the angle
you are measuring an angle eith an imaginary tangent line stretching into space.
then you have no elevation angle measurement of earth
do you?
you need to use earth surface as part of your baseline of angle in order to navigate earth
thats the point of measuring the elevation angle
for navigation
you are not navigating the tangent line
