True
>spherical grids now have squares equaling above 360 degrees
The angle sum is still 360°. The reason is because parallels of latitude aren't great circles. If they were then the angle sum would be greater than 360°.

Like this. Now all sides are segments of a great circle and the angle sum is more than 360°. Easy peazy.

I do. It just wasn't subtle nor well constructed, so I ignored it.

>>17005204
there is no measuring being done to create great circles in the first place. thats done by calculation not measurement.
same thing applies when you measure latitude and map it on a curved surface, that doesnt come from raw measurements of earth
you cant measure the radius either, because you cant shoot a measuring rod down to the center of earths core.
the radius was presupposed after Eratosthenes layed down sticks and shadows outside, earths circumference is gets "measured" by shadow elevation angles (not a measurement, its a calculation) to then "know" what the radius "measurement" is (they never measured a radius)
not a single unit of measurement exists that ISNT LINEAR. theres no unit of curved arch lengths, again curves are calculated not measured. inches, feet, meters, miles, kilometers, all are flat and linear
So yes, when you use surveying instruments and tools that physically measure the ground flat, you can only have flat maps.
I dont care if you have a longitudinal dipole on a ball, that grid laid out on a ball doesnt have angles, doesnt have squares that equal 360 degrees, spherical excess must be added, then removed if you want to go back to measuring the earth (because youll measure it flat!)
If you are completely honest about this you will admit "yes, spherical excess calulations are added then removed"
its your religion, because we all know there was never any raw mapping or measuring of earths surface in the case of the globe
note in pic related. It requires all straight tangent lines for any of this to work
>>
>muh tangents going off into freespace
the length between 2 tangents on a sphere 3959 miles would have a verticle drop distance of 8 inches per mile squared
>>
>>17005560
It was subtle. Hint: there is more than one interpretation. The low IQ and the high IQ. You took the low IQ one. Sadge.
>>
>>17005633
By all means, enlighten us on this "high IQ" interpretation that is not a poorly constructed le subhuman joke.
>>
>>17005155
>x, y, z
>r, \theta
>s, \theta, h
>\rho, \theta, \phi
Cause that's the proper counter-clockwise orientation, and theta is always in the middle
>>
>>17006384
h should be z
>>
>>17006374
NTA, but it's pretty simple to me.
>interpretation 1: you're not human/you're a subhuman
WRONG!
>interpretation 2: you ARE human/you are NOT subhuman
this interpretation (the high iq one) is only noticeable if you acknowledge the earth IS a sphere
>hurr durr but it isn't! because yadda yadda yadda

So it's impossible to measure the circumference of a tree or pole with a tape measure? Or bend sheet metal into a circle? Because that's what you're implying.
>>
>>17009744
We're talking about the ground not a tree or pole. Measuring tapes use linear units

The most autistic out of that group is arguably Dirac. But none of them were anywhere close to "severely autistic."

What's your point? The question was "define", not "write in spherical coordinates". Furthermore, it's not that hard to write it in spherical coordinates.
>>
>>17005384
That’s not what causes it to not be a sphere lel

the bulging at the equator due to the centrifugal acceleration of the rotation + the gravitational tides from the sun and moon makes the planet slightly egg shaped

If I’m remembering correctly and not being a brainlet

>>17010487
Let the sphere of radius [math]r[/math] be centered at [math](x_0,y_0,z_0)[/math]. In Cartesian coordinates,

[math]
(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2+(z-z_0)^2=r^2.
[/math]

Using spherical coordinates centered at the origin,

[math]
x=\rho\sin\theta\cos\phi,\qquad
y=\rho\sin\theta\sin\phi,\qquad
z=\rho\cos\theta,
[/math]

the sphere becomes

[math]
(\rho\sin\theta\cos\phi-x_0)^2
+(\rho\sin\theta\sin\phi-y_0)^2
+(\rho\cos\theta-z_0)^2
=r^2,
[/math]

or, after expansion,

[math]
\rho^2
-2\rho\left(
x_0\sin\theta\cos\phi
+y_0\sin\theta\sin\phi
+z_0\cos\theta
\right)
+x_0^2+y_0^2+z_0^2-r^2=0.
[/math]

Defining the distance from the origin to the sphere center,

[math]
d=\sqrt{x_0^2+y_0^2+z_0^2},
[/math]

and letting [math]\gamma[/math] denote the angle between the radial direction and the center direction,

[math]
\cos\gamma=\hat{\mathbf r}\cdot\hat{\mathbf c},
[/math]

the equation simplifies to

[math]
\rho^2-2d\rho\cos\gamma+d^2-r^2=0,
[/math]

with explicit solution

[math]
\rho=d\cos\gamma\pm\sqrt{r^2-d^2\sin^2\gamma}.
[/math]

He's unironically conflating specialization and niche skillsets with autism. He bought into the "autism is my superpower" meme so hard he can't comprehend the fact that becoming exceptionally good at a small handful of things is literally a thing normal people do.

Regular people never become masters of anything, that's a fact. They dabble and become mediocre.
