That's funny curvature shouldn't be measurable left to right at sea level.
I've seen people measure a horizon drop with a theodolite but I think you don't know what you are talking about.
Whats next? Toilets flushing in different directions? Travelling west in a plane is faster than travelling east?
Edit, in hindsight it looks like the picture is on the piss, check your line again.
Travelling west in a plane is faster than travelling east because the earth is rotating. Go find out why rockets are launched from west to east. *high school physics*
Lmao.
Dude weak.
Inertial FoR, high school physics.
Can you elaborate on your claim of magic planes?
(What is it with people and magic planes?)
The direction of jetstreams are decided by the rotation of the earth. I am sorry for not being clear. If there was no jetstream, travelling either side in a plane wouldn't make a difference.
Indeed, and jet streams go from west to east. So travelling west in a plane is very often
slower than travelling east (as I
mentioned in the other thread).
