That guy's math is hilariously incorrect. There are so many things wrong with his example. First, the curvature of the Earth is not constant. We do not live on a perfect sphere. 2nd, the average rate of curvature is 7.98 inches per mile. No idea where he's getting 30-something inch discrepancy over two miles. If he said 16-18 inches, that would be more accurate.
If you look at his circle graph, you'll see point A is at about 12 o'clock and point B is close to 1 o'clock. At a circumference of 24,901 miles, if his experiment was around 2,000 miles long, that would be closer to the 10% or so he's representing on that circle. In reality, his point B would be somewhere closer to 12:00:00:02 o'clock.
This guy has a pretty interesting idea, but his math is so far off it's laughable.
May wish to check your math again
It’s parabolic, not linear
Per mile squared
Doesn’t need to be a perfect sphere. If there’s any curve at all it’ll show, and the suggestion was made to make them all over the place anyways
What’s to lose
Per mile squared is something like 64 inches per mile then. 172 over two miles. The curvature of the earth isn't 6 feet per mile, Jesus.
From someone standing on the north pole, what would the curvature measure a mile before the equator to the equator?
