It's a 3.88-mile stretch. We're gonna actually
have set up three posts. One at the start,
one at the end, and one in the middle. Then we're gonna shoot a laser
from the first post and see where it crosses
that first post. So let's say it's eight feet, and get it to cross
the same point at the far end. And when we can confirm
that both are passing the exact same spot, then somebody will tell us
what the middle is at. If the middle
is eight feet, it's flat, and if it comes back that
it's only five-and-a-half feet, then, yeah, that means
that the Earth has curvature. That's a cool experiment.
It's interesting

It's a 3.88-mile stretch.
00:00:03.203 --> 00:00:05.057
We're gonna actually
have set up three posts.
00:00:05.605 --> 00:00:07.038
One at the start,
one at the end,
00:00:07.073 --> 00:00:08.064
and one in the middle.
00:00:08.675 --> 00:00:11.109
Then we're gonna shoot a laser
from the first post
00:00:11.144 --> 00:00:13.645
and see where it crosses
that first post.
00:00:13.068 --> 00:00:15.113
So let's say it's eight feet,
00:00:15.148 --> 00:00:18.683
and get it to cross
the same point at the far end.
00:00:18.718 --> 00:00:20.919
And when we can confirm
that both are passing
00:00:20.954 --> 00:00:22.554
the exact same spot,
00:00:22.589 --> 00:00:24.756
then somebody will tell us
what the middle is at.
00:00:24.791 --> 00:00:26.724
If the middle
is eight feet, it's flat,
00:00:26.759 --> 00:00:30.795
and if it comes back that
it's only five-and-a-half feet,
00:00:30.083 --> 00:00:35.001
then, yeah, that means
that the Earth has curvature.
00:00:35.998 --> 00:00:37.502
That's a cool experiment.
It's interesting.
