How-To Calculate Earth’s Curvature

If you have attended or currently do attend a secular school, especially in the United States of America(USA), Europe, Japan, China, or Russia, then odds are, unless you have regularly ditched your science class, then you were taught that the Earth is a ball. The science “higher up’s” like to change and alter what we are taught in school depending on the knowledge of the general public outside the school…more specifically the “truth seekers” also known as “conspiracy theorists.” We have Neil deGrasse Tyson now saying that the Earth is an oblate spheroid…also know as a pear. So instead of living on a globe, we now live on an intergalactic pear. Sounds tasty, doesn’t it? No…? You’re right! There is nothing tasty about believing a lie. Setting the whole “pear” debacle aside, what is the curvature formula of a “round” Earth you ask? Well…According to Samuel Birley Rowbotham (1816-1884), the author of Zetetic Astronomy: Earth Not a Globe under the pseudonym “Parallax,” he came up with a specific formula for calculating the supposed curvature of the Earth. Samuel Rowbotham conducted a series of observational experiments known collectively as the; Bedford Level Experiment. The Bedford Level Experiment took place on a six mile stretch of the Old Bedford River canal on the Bedford Level, England in the English county, Norfolk. His conclusionary formula is what is known today as; Samuel Rowbotham’s Formula.

Samuel Rowbotham’s Formula states that, for every mile traveled squared, multiplied by eight inches, gives the total amount of Earth’s curvature in inches.

Samuel Rowbotham’s Formula

8(miles squared)
or
8in.(distance in miles^2)

Which means to take the square root of the distance traveled in miles and then multiply that figure by eight inches.

So for example, if you traveled one mile, the formula would look something like this;

8(1×1) = 8 Inches of total curvature

And for the first ten miles traveled of curvature in inches…

8(1×1) = 8 Inches of total curvature
8(2×2) = 32 Inches of total curvature
8(3×3) = 72 Inches of total curvature
8(4×4) = 128 Inches of total curvature
8(5×5) = 200 Inches of total curvature
8(6×6) = 288 Inches of total curvature
8(7×7) = 392 Inches of total curvature
8(8×8) = 512 Inches of total curvature
8(9×9) = 648 Inches of total curvature
8(10×10) = 800 Inches of total curvature

etc…

And then to figure out how many feet of curvature that is, simply divide the total curvature in inches by twelve, since there are twelve inches per feet, or twelve inches in one foot.

So…

8(1×1)/12 = 0.666 Feet of total curvature
8(2×2)/12 = 2.666 Feet of total curvature
8(3×3)/12 = 6 Feet of total curvature
8(4×4)/12 = 10.666 Feet of total curvature
8(5×5)/12 = 16.666 Feet of total curvature
8(6×6)/12 = 24 Feet of total curvature
8(7×7)/12 = 32.666 Feet of total curvature
8(8×8)/12 = 42.666 Feet of total curvature
8(9×9)/12 = 54 Feet of total curvature
8(10×10)/12 = 66.666 Feet of total curvature

You start to notice a pattern developing!

Why is this whole curvature formula important to the flat earth movement?

Well because in real world observations…you know, the stuff that “science” is supposed to be about, we simply do not observe ANY curvature at all. You can try to measure the supposed curvature of a body of water such as a lake or ocean but you will find that there is no curve to measure at all. The water is flat. All water is flat. Water doesn’t curve at all in the real world. Water is flat and land is flat. Now…in science’s make believe world of theories and speculations, sure, water can do anything they like…they can even make water stick to the underside of a ball…or a pear, currently. Out in the real world however…the opposite is true. There are no theories or speculations, only real world observational facts. Facts that state…water does not curve, land does not curve, and we sure do not live on any pear.
