8 inches per mile. Official NHL hokey rinks are 200 ft long. So that's an elevation difference of 0.3 inches (7 mm) from one end to the other. You would never, ever notice such minute elevation while skating.


wrong. Why can't you even understand the math for the curve, ugg.

Lake Baikal in Russia is over 400 miles long - according to earth curve calculation - if you're standing on one end - the other end is 20 miles lower in altitude - so which end is the lower one -cause if I'm going to skate it when it completely freezes i wanna be going down hill not uphill

I need to know the answer to this to know if i can skate a frozen ball earth. Wouldn't you be wanting to go downhill, makes a big difference. Answer this question plz.


I did answer it in my last post. Did u read the .3 inches per 200 feet part or?

You honestly believe that slope is noticable?

If your view is only a mile wide - no one is going to notice the 8 inchs per square of the mile curve

But if you have a 3 mile view the curve would be 6 feet. I feel you would notice that- and actually they have done level tests that proved there is no drop of at all

If your view is 40 miles - then there would be a 1066 feet drop in all directions - buildings should be hidden behind curve but you can still see them

At 100 miles of view there needs to be a 1.26 mile drop in all directions, but you can see entire Islands in the Mediterranean on clear days

Peaople think their view is flat until the horizon , that that is the so called curve of the earth and then the curve starts.

This is what you think, that on a ball earth one point of water would be lower than the other, because of gravity right.

Im just pointing it out and making you realize how stupid it is.

So basically you think it wouldn't work because you also don't believe in gravity on a sphere? Using one unfounded idea to justify another.... your sourcing yourself now....

I feel bad that I gave u credit for trolling on this ice skating thing
