And lactic acid builds up BECAUSE your arms are doing work, resisting gravity. Derp.

i was referring to elevation, because i understand all 3 dimensions.

your explanation still is not an answer. calculating the speed in a jet stream you would still come up short given your map, because the distance grows by flattening it out. jet streams are a known and used part of flying, that's not an answer to how they cover MORE miles due to flattening. whether on a flat or round earth jet streams are used, which you're ironically using as proof yet again just like the flat horizon.

So which dimension is elevation? And how does a deviation in elevation mean a deviation in path?

The answer is easy - IRL - no matter how tall a person is - there viewing angle to the horizon is always 90 degrees - the horizon is not the curve of the earth, is a not a point on a 2 d side view.

It is only explainable by understanding perspective and what depth or the z axis is, these words are not "random" or just my opinion and your opinion is just SoS.

You couldn't answer a question that a 10-year-old would have no trouble with. How sad is that?

Quote (thesnipa @ Jan 20 2017 05:14pm)

almost as sad as getting stuck on words like "path", "height, width, length", and "perspective".

Your arms would be resisting the constant air pressure. A column of air 1 square inch in cross-section would have a weight of about 14.7 lb or about 65.4 N.

So you have almost 15 lbs of air pushing your arm down per inch, even if your tiny arms are only 2 feet long and 3 inches wide, thats 540 lbs of air pressure.

How many people do you know that can even hold 540 lbs of iron? Because is there any difference between between 540 lbs of air, 540 lbs of iron or 540 lbs of feathers?

You put an awful lot of effort into being this stupid.

/e never mind the fact that the air pressure above and below your arm are identical.

i like when people use this type of "proof"

its the same as "if the earth were moving wouldn't we feel it?"... as if they have anything to compare it to to "feel it"...

Quote (card_sultan @ Jan 20 2017 12:47pm)

So your saying 540 lbs of air pressure spread out over your entire tiny midget arms which is actually 15 lbs of pressure per inch and is different than 540 lbs of iron?

Shocking you were able to deduce that, maybe there hope still for that decrepit mind.

yes , people have no way of telling whether they are moving and motion sickness is just a made up fallacy.
