Don't forget about the 4th dimension... Time.

IS TIME THE FOURTH DIMENSION?
Time is often thought of as the fourth dimension.
Time plays a key role as a dimension in mathematical formulations of physical laws and theories such as general relativity and string theory.

No, it spins on its axis and orbits the sun. The 2 are fundamentally different... Because when an object spins, it does so about its axis.

A GIF image created from a video could show the entire surface... You lose!
So a composite rather than a single photo?
You lose again.

Just because you do the compositing across time rather than space doesn't magically mean it isn't a composite.

Is the surface of the Earth 2D or 3D??? Ass handed to you again! Looks pretty 3D to me in this 2D picture.
By definition the surface of any object is 2D.

A point on the surface is restricted in motion to 2 (non-Euclidean) dimensions. If you move in the third dimension you are no longer on the surface.

If you are 100 m above the surface are you on the surface? NO!

Here is a nice simple definition of a surface:
Quote
a continuous set of points that has length and breadth but no thickness.
So you aren't arguing with me, you are arguing with Google.
Or oxford dictionary:
Quote
Geometry
A continuous set of points that has length and breadth but no thickness.
Or dictionary.com
Quote
Geometry. any figure having only two dimensions; part or all of the boundary of a solid.
or merriam webster:
Quote
: a plane or curved two-dimensional locus of points (such as the boundary of a three-dimensional region) plane surface surface of a sphere

These sure make it seem like a surface is 2D, and unlike you I don't need to blatantly lie about the results.

The Earth, as a physical entity in 3D space, is 3D, but its surface is 2D.

Just like a piece of paper, as it has thickness is in fact 3D, but its surface (or the face of a sheet) is 2D as you are now bound to a set of points and only have 2 degrees of freedom. This still applies if you roll the paper up into a cylinder.

The surface of a sphere is in 3D according to you... So why wouldn't the Earth's surface which has depth also be 3D? I don't even need to respond. I could just post your contradictions. Look your arguing with yourself again... Who is lying here???

These sure make it seem like a surface is 2D, and unlike you I don't need to blatantly lie about the results. The Earth, as a physical entity in 3D space, is 3D, but its surface is 2D.
Remember, a sphere is a 3D object, how can you show a complete sphere in a 2D picture?

Does this look like there is no depth??? Those mountains look pretty high and that valley pretty low... The surface of the Earth is 3D, step in a depression or on a rock for confirmation...

No, it spins on its axis and orbits the sun. The 2 are fundamentally different... Because when an object spins, it does so about its axis.

Time is not a spatial dimension. That's why the mathematical relationship between time and any spatial dimension is different than between a spatial dimension and any other spatial dimension (the t-coordinate is imaginary and represented as the product of i*t*c )

Again, the perimeter is for a 2D shape. Earth is not 2D, thus none have shown the perimeter of Earth as Earth does not have a perimeter.

No it isn't.

Try again, this time try and address what has actually been said.

So why wouldn't the Earth's surface which has depth also be 3D?
Again, by definition a surface has no depth.

I don't even need to respond.
Yet you choose to do so and show the world your idiocy yet again.

Does this look like there is no depth???
For the surface, NO!
It is still just a surface.
It is a non-Euclidean 2D surface.

Flight is 3D even if you dipshits are too slow to realize that. If it wasn't we wouldn't need to worry about flying into mountains. The surface of the Earth is the terrain. Don Bateman’s terrain mapping device has nearly eliminated the largest cause of death in jetliner accidents. You can't plow into the ground in 2D...

Bateman’s Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System became required in most commercial planes around the world, dramatically reducing accidents in which perfectly good aircraft with trained crews plowed into the ground or bodies of water, almost always in poor visibility.

In the 1960s and 1970s, there was an average of one such fatal accident per month, according to the AviationSafetyNetwork website. It was by far the largest cause of death in jetliner accidents...

In the arcane world of aviation terminology, these crashes were called Controlled Flight into Terrain, or CFIT. It was a vexing problem: Basic navigation should have kept pilots from crashing. But the cockpit navigation technology of that era wasn’t intuitive and it was too easy to get disoriented, especially at night or in bad weather. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-bateman-airplane-safety-device/

Sorry you're wrong... Surface is the outermost or uppermost layer according to the dictionaries. The surface of the Earth is called the lithosphere it's the solid outermost layer of the upper mantle it's very clearly 3D...

Lithosphere, Rigid, rocky outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the solid outermost layer of the upper mantle. https://www.britannica.com/science/lithosphere

surface [sur-fis]
1.the outer face, outside, or exterior boundary of a thing; outermost or uppermost layer or area.
2.any face of a body or thing:the six surfaces of a cube.
3.extent or area of outer face; superficial area.
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/surface


Earth’s surface features are the result of constructive and destructive forces. Constructive forces cause landforms to grow. The eruption of a new volcano creates a new landform. Destructive forces wear landforms down. The slow processes of mechanical and chemical weathering and erosion work over time to change once high mountains into smooth flat plateaus. https://courses.lumenlearning.com/geophysical/chapter/earths-surface-features/

I already provided dictionary definitions and what dictionary it came from that clearly showed all surfaces are 2D.

By definition, a surface is 2D.

Remember, it isn't me you are arguing with, it is the dictionaries.

First off you are wrong... Your original argument was the path a plane traces on the ground is 2D. It's not, that a line and a line is 1D. Planes don't trace paths onthe ground, they trace then through the air and they have three axes, it's called a flight path since you're too stupid to realize that. The surface of the Earth is curved so a level flightpath will also be curved. Using calculus it is 3D because there is a 3D collection of points.

The surface of the Earth is the lithosphere, it's comprised of the crust AND the upper mantle. You provided one definition of three, for surface from Merriam Webster. It doesn't state ALL surfaces are 2D. Look at definition 3a... Does that even apply to geometry???

Definition of surface
1 : the exterior or upper boundary of an object or body on the surface of the water the earth's surface
2 : a plane or curved two-dimensional locus of points (such as the boundary of a three-dimensional region) plane surface surface of a sphere
3 a : the external or superficial aspect of something trouble lurks below the surface
b : an external part or layer sanded the rough surfaces https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/surface


Lithosphere, Rigid, rocky outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the solid outermost layer of the upper mantle. It extends to a depth of about 60 mi (100 km). https://www.britannica.com/science/lithosphere

No, my original argument was discussing the shape of the line the plane traces on the surface of Earth.
The surface of Earth is 2D, especially when considering a path that is traced.

Planes don't trace paths onthe ground
Sure they do. You take their position as latitude and longitude and discard the altitutde information.
That is the path they trace on the surface of an idealised Earth.

The surface of the Earth is curved so a level flightpath will also be curved.
But not the path when reduced to 2D, as an expression of the flight path along the surface. That then uses non-Euclidean geometry.

You provided one definition of three, for surface from Merriam Webster. It doesn't state ALL surfaces are 2D. Look at definition 3a... Does that even apply to geometry???
Again, we are discussing geometry. As such, we use the definition of surface for geometry.
In geometry, all surfaces are 2D, even curved ones.

Now enough of this tangent BS.

A plane is quite capable of correcting for the Coriolis effect and thus not have it's path curve due to it.

Wrong liar! Your original argument was a straight line FOLLOWING Earth's surface. If you follow the surface you will be going up and down mountains and the sides of buildings...

We were discussing a straight line following Earth's surface

The devil is in the details, you didn't say "the line the plane traces on the surface", you said "a straight line following Earth's surface". A straight line is 1D not 2D, either way you are wrong...

Sure they do. You take their position as latitude and longitude and discard the altitutde information.
That is the path they trace on the surface of an idealised Earth.

If you were concerned with the truth and reality as you claim. Then we cannot discard altitude, it's a vital part of a planes flight path. Planes fly at different altitudes, air traffic controllers most definitely do not discard altitude information and neither can we.

Merriam Webster - flight path: the path in the air or space made or followed by something (such as a particle, an airplane, or a spacecraft) in flight.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/flight%20path


But not the path when reduced to 2D, as an expression of the flight path along the surface. That then uses non-Euclidean geometry.

A line is 1D not 2D...

Math World ~ "A line is a straight one-dimensional figure having no thickness and extending infinitely in both directions. A line is sometimes called a straight line or, more archaically, a right line (Casey 1893), to emphasize that it has no "wiggles" anywhere along its length." http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Line.html

Again, we are discussing geometry. As such, we use the definition of surface for geometry.
In geometry, all surfaces are 2D, even curved ones.

Geometrically speaking it would be a 1D line on a 2D surface on a 3D object you dipshit. However the surface of the Earth is the 60m thick lithosphere and it's a geological feature, not a geometrical one.

Macmillan Dictionary ~ geological: relating to geology, or to the features of the Earth’s surface https://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/american/geological#geological__1

Encyclopedia Britannica ~ Lithosphere: Rigid, rocky outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the solid outermost layer of the upper mantle. It extends to a depth of about 60 mi (100 km).
https://www.britannica.com/science/lithosphere


Merriam Webster ~ surface: the exterior or upper boundary of an object or body on the surface of the water the earth's surface.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/surface


When measured on the small scale you will find there are mountains and hills and the like.

Either way the imaginary path the planes traces on the ground would be 1D, in reality though planes trace a path through the air... Google flight path, there is only one definition so you shouldn't get confused...

Now enough of this tangent BS. A plane is quite capable of correcting for the Coriolis effect and thus not have it's path curve due to it.

A planes path curves because of the curvature of the earth. A plane never flies in a straight line geometrically speaking. Coriolis force is accounted for.

Just About Flying ~ "Does a jet aircraft need to constantly adjust nose down to follow the curvature of the earth?
In reality, a constant altitude must be kept using the standard pressure and that means a fixed distance to the earth center of gravity is maintained, making the path of the plane a curved one. So, a plane is not flying a straight line - geometrically speaking."  http://www.askcaptainlim.com/flying-the-plane-flying-90/1301-does-a-jet-aircraft-need-to-constantly-adjust-nose-down-to-follow-the-curvature-of-the-earth.html


Exploring Earth ~ "A plane flying from Anchorage, Alaska directly toward Miami, Florida would miss its target due to the Coriolis effect. The target location where the plane was headed when it took off has moved with Earth's rotation, so the plane would end up to the right of its original target." http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es1904/es1904page01.cfm
In reality, pilots take the Coriolis effect into account so they do not miss their targets
The Earth won't be 'round much longer...
No, it spins on its axis and orbits the sun. The 2 are fundamentally different... Because when an object spins, it does so about its axis.

The path of a plane following Earth's surface is that traced onto the surface of Earth.

Not all information is relevant to every discussion.


Now then, are you going to admit that planes can correct for the Coriolis effect and that the Coriolis effect does not mean planes can't fly in straight lines?
Or are you only capable of going off on irrelevant tangents to try and avoid admitting you were wrong?

Here...

We are looking at the flight track on the surface of Earth, i.e. the line the flight path traces over the surface of Earth. That does not have depth as it is limited to 2D.

Here...

A straight line following Earth's surface i.e a great circle is not straight because the Earth is curved.
But following the Earth's surface, i.e. in 2D, it is straight.

And here...

I have always been discussing the path it traces on the surface of Earth. By definition that only has two spatial dimensions.

Not only have you contradicted yourself this time, you have also been caught lying about it...

Not all information is relevant to every discussion.
