I can think of several ways, but to directly measure the surface of the water (for curvature or anything else) - you have to actually measure the surface of the water. Right?
You tell me. You claim that the method i presented doesn't work, so, present a method that works.
You won't because you can't.
When? Could you quote me? I think you have misunderstood.
We are still talking about the one clam that i made. Nothing has been added or changed about it. Best not to "go for another bite" until we're done chewing the food already in our mouths, don't you think?
Can't what? Can't come up with a procedure to measure the curvature of still water directly? Are you sure you aren't describing your own shortcomings?
It isn't hard to measure the surface of still water directly, and there are many ways to go about it. But you always have to measure the surface of the water in order to do it.
Are you claiming that measuring the surface curvature of water is impossible?
What point are you trying to make?
How on earth did you misunderstand my previous comment that badly? Could you please quote what you read and how you interpreted it to come to this conclusion? I was saying the opposite of that.
There are a few, but as i said - we should finish chewing the one bite before moving on to others. The main point is that the initial claim i made is correct - even though it is admittedly wild to recognize and accept.
Exactly that.
There are many approaches, but the most practical / easiest to execute are done when the water is frozen in place.
You could use a ruler in that case, if you were crazy and/or wanted to. There are, of course many more efficient ways than that.
