If two train tracks are laid out in front of you at an angle pointing towards each other, then obviously, two lines oriented in that position that will intersect at some point. Only parallel lines can continue into infinity and never intersect.
Yes, we agree on this. Parallel lines never intersect. Brilliant deduction Sherlock.
The type of math you are using says that the train tracks should approach each other but NEVER meet.
But from what we see and experience the tracks are angled toward each other in a way that they MUST meet.
So what's right? Are our experiences correct, or is a theoretical calculation which takes place outside of the universe and is missing a dimension correct?
We have been through this already. Stop arguing in a circle.
Yes, parallel lines are angled towards each other from our perspective.
No, they will never actually meet each other.
Yes, it
appears that they meet each other because the angle between them becomes too small for our eyes to distinguish. Using a telescope can extend the range that they appear to not touch at, obviously.
Yes, we can calculate
exactly what this angle is using
trigonometry, as shown previously on this thread.Yes, the "out of this universe" diagram can correctly portray this angle, as shown previously on this thread.
No, the math doesn't predict an infinity. It predicts that they will never touch, because they can never reach infinity.
Yes, this math can be demonstrated to work at small, testable scales.
No, you have no evidence that it magically stops working at larger scales, other than blind faith in your model.
Ok, now that I have brought us back full circle, can you stop dodging the question, and just answer how
you think this stuff can be calculated, if the math is indeed wrong?
"take the distance between the tracks and the angle of their progression" -- Um... how do I take a distance between an object and an angle?
"determine where they would intersect in the distance" -- How? Is there a special Bishop equation that I can use?
"Calculate based on what we and experience" -- Ok. Great. How do I perform this calculation?
