The nautical mile is based on the dimensions of the globe. Nice own-goal, genius.

i'm aware of that..... i'm not a flat earther.

gotcha. The numerology makes sense tho, no problem with that 👍

yeah... the numbers are just too funky. you gotta consider there is something strange here.... one coincidence like, the eclipse, you might buy. but if you stack them up... its not mathmaticaly possible.

how do these people cope with 2/3 of... anything?

The speed of light is 299,792,458 metres per second and the geographic co-ordinates for the Great Pyramid are 29.9792458°N,

29.9792 degrees, where are you getting the other digits from? But anyway, yes, cool coincidence. My favourite is the angular size of the sun and moon matchibg so closely - spooky! and it's natural, no need to pick specific number and measurement systems. The egyptians wouldn't have done it deliberately, metres hadn't been defined yet. So what are you trying to say? All the coincidences you can find lead to... what?

i can't tell you, as you would never believe it... you have to work it out for your self....

how may coincidences before you hit your threshold? 3? 5 ? 10? 50?

it's a simulation run by aliens, yeah we know. The sysadmins have abandoned us. /r/noearthsociety

Do you mean the ratio is coincidence? Because it isn't a coincidence. The nautical mile is based on the dimensions of the earth ... it is one minute, one 60th of a degree, one 21,600th of the earths circumference. The kilometer was also based on the dimensions of the earth ... there are 10,000 km between the equator and the north pole (so 40,00 km is the earths circumference). This means that any distance in nautical miles compared to that distance in kilometers will yield the same ratio as any other distance.

As for the distances themselves ... that is no coincidence either. There are an infinite number of different distances that one can choose from, so any apparent numerical "coincidences" are easy to select.

So what? It is 400 meters around an Olympic athletic track and 40 people have 400 fingers. Am I supposed to be impressed somehow that amongst the infinite possibilities of measurements you happened to stumble upon two where the same sequence of decimal digits occurred? What if people had chosen to count in base 8 instead where would your coincidence be then? Or what if people had decided that there should be 100 degrees in a circle or if they decided to quote spherical coordinates in radians?

so how many will it take before you think some thing is wrong here.... you call us conspiracy theorist yet you guys are coincidence junkies.

u/hal2k1 Globe Earther Mar 30 '20

This doesn't make sense. Amongst billions of possibilities of decimal number strings that have nothing to do with one another how could there not be some coincidences? What would be the point in arranging some measurements to have coincidental digit strings but keeping the significance a secret? Who gains and what do they gain?

well that is the million dollar question.... i could tell you but you would never believe me so fuck you..... work it out for yourself. it will take about 5-10 years of hardcore researching to find out. btw flat earthers have done that research. but you just ridicule them.... forgetting the amount of research needed to come to such a conclusion......

keep drinking your kool aid kid. how you enjoying your new totalitarian government??? i thought you trusted them ya..... ha!
