Oh .... well we can both play that gameEnds of an axis; Axis powers were German, Italy and Japan - 3. North/South/East/West; 4. Positive/negative/neutral; 3. On/off; My radio has off and up to 11 - 12. Matter/antimatter/vacuum; 3. Contents of my shorts; 2 (legs). I have an impressive 3rd leg.
My shorts contains pairs of many things. Pockets, for example.Ends of an axis; 2. North/South; 2. Positive/negative; 2. On/off; 2. Matter/vacuum; 2. Contents of my shorts; 2 (legs).
Where do we find 3 in nature?
Land, sea and air Manifesations of the states of matter; see below
Past, present and future How about past and future? Is the present just the point of interface?
3 bones in each finger and each toe Asymmetrical. 2 index digital phalanges per person, etc. And there are 4 bones in each finger; check your anatomical theory.
3 notes in a major chord Can't comment, as my knowledge of music is not as extensive as yours.
3 leaves on a clover and many other plants Can't comment, as my knowledge of botany is not as extensive as yours.
There are 3 primary colours Only in the human-visible spectrum, to create white light. Primary colours exist beyond what we can directly perceive.
3 sides on the simplest shape possible - triangle The simplest shape possible is a circle, with infinite sides
3 states of matter ... solid, liquid, gas And plasma. 4 states of matter.
3 bones in the human ear ... hammer, anvil and stirrup 2 hammers in each head, etc.
3 physical dimensions and time. 4 dimensions.
3 parts to an atom ... proton, neutron, electron, 3 quarks in a neutron, 3 quarks in a proton Can't comment, as my knowledge of nuclear physics is not as extensive as yours.
3 atoms on a water molecule ... kinda important for life sort of Correct. 2 atoms of hydrogen. and one of oxygen.
Kinda trumps the contents of your shorts (legs).
If you just have to drop it to get a different result then the two pole limit to every magnetic construct doesn't seem like a strong theory.
Why do you believe any of the crap put out by the HIGHLY RELIABLE propogandists?
Pitiful..
Tom, can you help Action80 with the fiendish 'finding the distance between two lat/longs' challenge? He's still struggling.
Again, I am not muddying things by using your source. It is plainly evident from your source that Sigma Octantis could not possibly be visible in all three places at once because it is not dark enough in all three places at once.
Dark enough.
Dark enough.
Your source.
Your source.
ETA: Sigma Octantis not useful for navigation due to the fact it is barely visible. Perhaps it maybe not even a "pole star."
I am certainly not stating the distance couldn't be worked out using two points.
Essentially, being with you requires the thought the latitude/longitude system in place is based on a globe, when it isn't.
So, no.
I will never be "with you."
Because that is a flat out lie.
It's arbitrary, as you just admitted.
All coordinate systems are to some extent arbitrary. You can have any origin you wish. As long as the coordinates all reference the same system, distances between pairs of coordinates will give the same result.
You yourself said you could work it out with your formula, but now you're saying you can't because the system is wrong. But all those mariners through the ages, diligently recording their lat/long based on celestial and solar observations (as per Tom's statement)...were they wrong, then?
And what, exactly, is the lat/long system we should be using then? What system do you suppose our Iraqi Scud aimers were using?
And which FE model are you using?
And how big is the FE?
You are not paying attention.
I am stating the two points being arbitrary would be close, but it was not used to fire those missiles which you love to use.
Like I wrote earlier, a much more likely scenario would have been actual distances obtained by close up surveillance of the land, performed by live people.
[/quote]Again, all you need for accuracy is to know the amount of "punch," each round has, the wind, and a simple quadratic equation which all work just fine on any FLAT x/y coordinate plane.
More RE sound and fury, signifying nothing.
I'm personally not a trained artilleryman so I couldn't give you an exhaustive list of "all you need for accuracy", but I would have thought that, in addition to muzzle velocity (punch?), then mass, size and drag-coefficient of the shell, as well as air density, would be in there somewhere.
"Punch," is inclusive of all the things you just mentioned.
Again, all you need for accuracy is to know the amount of "punch," each round has, the wind, and a simple quadratic equation which all work just fine on any FLAT x/y coordinate plane.
More RE sound and fury, signifying nothing.
All more unfound claims from RE here.
All you need for any missile to be fired to any target is the right amount of fuel and a simple quadratic equation which works perfectly fine on any x/y coordinate surface.
In other words, FLAT.
End of story.
On cruise ship speeds:
From a 2021article: "The average speed of a cruise ship is 18 to 22 knots (20 to 25 miles per hour). The maximum speed of a cruise ship is around three knots faster than its average cruising speed."
From a CNN article on the Titanic: "At the time, the RMS Titanic was the largest passenger ship afloat. The ship's length was 882 feet, 9 inches, and it weighed 46,328 tons. Its top speed was 23 knots."
