By the way hillbilly when you can prove you understand how and why, long/lat are derived, you'll be fit to ask questions about 'Wouldn't you want to know?'
I did want to know which is why I mastered the spherical coordinates relative to the geographical coordinates governing location prediction on this planet.
The fact you're such a mentally ill imbecile that you don't realize you use maps so you can PREDICT WHERE YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL to GO somewhere is a classical example of you,
the Bodine Institute government school dropout,
trying to involve yourself in something you don't understand.
If you DID understand you'd be able to discuss HOW and WHY longitude/latitude are the SOLE
SPHERICAL COORDINATES,
used for travel on the surface of this planet.
You're SO stupid you don't even know HOW nor WHY they are used.
They're used because they are derived FOR a SPHERE, the PRECISE DIAMETER of Earth,
BECAUSE,
SPHERICAL coordinates are the ONLY WAY to PREDICT LOCATIONS, or surface points, on
SPHERES.
YOU'RE the HICK, I'm the expert with the Bachelor's Degree in those very
same
PREDICTIVE mathematics,
that make the AUTO PILOTS I trained and worked on for several years,
PREDICT WHERE a PLANE has to be flown.
You're just an ignorant wannabe who thinks you'll keep talking until longitude and latitude aren't the SOLE means of PREDICTION of surface points and locations on this SPHERICAL planet, at Mean Sea Level.
You're so stupid you don't even know how Mean Sea Level is derived, nor why.
It's the third part of the 3D Longitude/Latitude system.
Mean Sea Level EXISTS as the THIRD DIMENSION of that 3D system.
You're such a hick you don't even know why it exists or how it would be derived.
As part of a SPHERICAL MATHEMATICAL COORDINATES system that can be used to PREDICT where on a MAP you'll be is how.
From ''you're perspective?"
You don't HAVE a perspective. You're another untutored hick who broke down and stopped trying to understand the simple mathematical system 12 and 14 year-olds teach themselves so they can learn to fly planes, cross-country navigate, and sail boats.
Go LEARN why Long/Lat MUST be SPHERICAL coordinates
Go LEARN why LATITUDE LINES grow SHORTER near the poles.
Go LEARN, you insipid, blathering hick, why Longitude lines, are ALL the SAME LENGTH.
As it is you're just another embarrassment to mentally ill people who think because you can't count, mathematics isn't real.
It's real, hick. You're just ridiculously stupid, and too pussified and lazy, to learn what you're blathering incoherently about.
SHOW these PEOPLE you UNDERSTAND what Longitude/Latitude are, and HOW they're derived wrong.
Come in here and show everyone the graphs and illustrations associated with deriving them.
Explain to everyone what Mean Sea Level is, and how that's not real,
Explain to everyone what longitude/latutude are, and how THEY'RE not REAL,
even though they're THE ONLY SYSTEM EVER DEVISED and WIDELY USED to TRAVEL on EARTH cause it's the ONLY SYSTEM that makes MAPS be able to PREDICT, where one will wind up after X, Y, Z miles/km of travel.
Ten internet bucks says you're a chickenshit who'll never grow the balls to do it.
And everyone who understands how a f**cking COMPASS operates will look on and laugh under their breath at how mentally ill you Flat Earth-billies are.
Yes hick, we use Long/Lat for PREDICTION. You're just another ignorant Bodine instute hick.
GEOMETRY is what THOSE ROOTED in REALITY are DISCUSSING.
YOU'RE discussing the mental illness of not being able to understand why EVERY single GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES system
is a SUBSET
of the SPHERICAL COORDINATES mathematical systems.
You're just another innumerate, illiterate hick who flunked out of the public's Jethro Bodine institute for hicks.
I lost this account for a long time due to the password.
You're an ignorant hick. Maps exist solely FOR purposes of PREDICTION.
You're just a hick.
Who nobody ever taught the 5th grade science of Geometry to.
Map projection is PRECISELY the SCIENCE of attempting best-fit of SPHERICAL MATHEMATICS to FLAT CARTESIAN PLANES.
Again - you're just another Bodine institute simpleton.
You were wrong in your last comment.
If there was ANY mathematical deviation from the physical Earth's,
longitude and latitude could not accurately predict on it's surface.
The lick of sense missing here is no one having ever taught you Geometry.
Yes, clown. You must measure correctly to predict. In geo-location, the word predict means "say correctly, a point will be where it is formulated to be."
This is a science, that uses mathematical formulas, to say ahead of time where something is going to be.
And no, clown, I PERSONALLY provided you the link to the SCIENCE that TRIES to MAKE FLAT MAPS work AS WELL as GLOBES.
You are in FLAT DENIAL of the ENTIRE SCIENCE - and it is as COMPLICATED as the MATHEMATICS of SPHERES you never learned,
of ''Map Projection."
This is an ENORMOUSLY important science to navigation, you're just illiterate.
Again, you're utterly wrong about the choice of surface areas for travel and prediction on the surfaces of any geometry being unimportant.
They're so important that the only way to successfully predict surface point locations, is to use a mathematical model that is identical to the surface of the geometry,
or you're describing the surface of ANOTHER geometry.
The field of science they teach 10 and 12 year-olds, that nobody ever taught you, mandates it.
To find surface points on a cube you must have a mathematical model that matches that cube in EVERY single particular.
To correctly predict surface points on a sphere you must have a mathematical model that matches that sphere in EVERY single particular, or YOUR predictions of where things will be, will be WRONG.
You're just an innumerate, illiterate hillbilly no one ever taught geometry to.
And prediction can only be done with proper measurement, illiterate.
Flat maps DON'T work better, that's why the SPHERICAL COORDINATES are MARKED on ALL FLAT MAPS.
And the MAPS are ALTERED so they more CLOSELY reflect reality of the planet being a sphere.
YOU who don't even know why Longitude and Latitude EXISTS, and are the SOLE COORDINATES USED on even FLAT MAPS,
vs EVERY MAP MAKER who EVER EXISTED:
Everyone coming by take otice how jack thinks FLAT MAPS apply to Earth better?
MAP PROJECTION: THE SCIENCE OF TRYING to MAKE FLAT MAPS fit EARTH as WELL as GLOBES DO.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection
That's catastrophic failure of your lack of knowledge,
even of the reason for existence of,
the MEASUREMENTS TAKING PLACE on MAPS,
being in LONGITUDE and LATITUDE.
Using only:
S P E R I C A L geometry
surface area formulas.
There is no reference, of any kind, EVER:
to anything flat, in deriving them.
Ever.
All measurements are taking SOLELY from a SPHERE:
of a PRECISE and unchanging size.
COMPARED M.E.A.S.U.R.E.M.E.N.T.S.
match the SURFACE AREA
FORMULAS,
in the Geometry,
no one ever told you about.
https://www.nosco.ch/mathematics/en/earth-coordinates.php
All systems measuring Earth surface are SPHERICAL coordinates systems.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system
[For broader coverage of this topic, see Spatial reference system.]
A geographic coordinate system (or GCS) is a SPHERICAL, or geodetic coordinate system,
for measuring and communicating positions directly on the Earth,
as latitude and longitude.
It is the simplest, oldest and most widely used of the various spatial reference systems that are in use, and forms the basis for most others.
The geographic coordinate system is not cartesian, because the measurements are angles related to a sphere; and are not on a planar surface."
The fact you thought the Earth even might POSSIBLY be flat,
is PROOF POSITIVE: can ONLY MEAN
no one has EVER explained how longitude and latitude
are derived,
and used,
to predict on the surface of the planet.
IF YOU'D HAVE EVER BEEN TAUGHT THAT,
you'd know there can ONLY be ONE reason
ANY set of FORMULAS can PREDICT surface areas
and surface point locations
on ANY GEOMETRIC FIGURE THAT EXISTS.
They belong to THE FAMILY of '
'SPHERICAL COORDINATES."
Because they can ONLY predict,
on a SPHERICAL OBJECT.
fhe FACT the PLANET'S SURFACE AREAS
and
SURFACE POINTS,
can ONLY BE SUCCESSFULLY PREDICTED by THEM,
and YOUR NOT KNOWING WHY this MATHEMATICAL FACT exists,
is PROOF POSITIVE your EDUCATIONAL GRASP,
is SUB 12-YEAR-OLD.
12 YEAR OLDS and 14 YEAR-OLDS,
ROUTINELY TEACH THEMSELVES these MATHEMATICAL PREDICTION REALITIES and learn to sail and fly.
YOU will NEVER ESCAPE what NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW they WORK to PREDICT,
means for your N.O.N. E.X.I.S.T.A.N.T.
NON-GRASP,
of FUNDAMENTALS of HOW SURFACE AREA MATHEMATICS WORK.
Wrong answer hillbilly.
The coordinates system for CORRECT SURFACE AREA and surface point LOCATION prediction is NOT arbitrary.
You're just an illiterate, innumerate hick who nobody ever taught how Longitude and Latitude operate to successfully predict on the surface of the planet.
They have some sort of scriptural proverb type thing about "be last to go to war, that you may be first to return from it," or something? I think so.
All you're doing is admitting nobody ever explained that legendary science that 12 year olds master, called "Geometry."
Tell us nobody ever explained to you why Latitude and Longitude are the only way to predict surface point-locations on Earth,
without telling us nobody ever explained to you why Latitude and Longitude are the only way to predict surface point-locations on Earth.
LoL exactly
Again hick show the people here you know how and why longitude and latitude are derived, why Mean Sea Level is part of that 3D spherical coordinates system, or stop yelling online that "thim mathy thangs ain't rieeeeeal."
OBVIOUSLY you've made the choice to just keep yelling, meaninglessly and pathetically online, thus far.
When you can PROVE you UNDERSTAND
HOW and WHY longitude/latitude EXIST,
discuss their REASON for existing intelligently,
showing you understand HOW and WHY
E A C H of the THREE DIMENTIONS is calculated the way it is,
you won't be the Bodine Institute clown you're accusing people who DID learn the mathematics you don't understand, of being.
