Res??Vprašaj kakšnega inženirja gradbeništva,če je kdaj pri izračunih upošteval kakšno ukrivljenost Zemlje?
Tudi ti so del zarote očitno:
Right now, I'm at "the straightest object in the world". The SLAC National Accelerator Lab. As others have mentioned, the curvature of the Earth is something like "8 inches a mile". Well our linac is 2 miles long and we need it to be actually straight and not follow the curvature of the earth. Otherwise the electrons will hit into the walls and the whole thing won't work. So the center of our linac is in fact closer to the Earth's center than the edges by about 8 inches.
So yes, curvature of the Earth does matter for some buildings.
