τ and π both have their advantages, I just prefer π because I'm more familiar with it
Ah yes. The constant used to calculate everything from the diameter of a wheel of cheese to the orbital trajectories of multi-billion dollar solar system probes is wrong.
And in the OP formula, using τ would just change the constant coefficient to 4 instead of 2. Hardly a travesty either way.
I just hate people using buzzphrases to claim something that isn't true. Pi isn't wrong. People just prefer a different constant. Whatever.
Tau isn't crazy, it's just 2π & it makes sense sometimes. Diam = τ*radius which is more sensible that 2*π*r. 2*π keeps showing up, so it's not unreasonable to use that.
The constant used everywhere, in every field of mathematics that involves anything circular. Is wrong. You never cease to amaze LR. Ignorant on economics, politics and even mathematics
Your next evolution is trying to aggressively push flat earth conspiracies.
It's odd even physics students are not proving it's a globe, despite the fact it's pretty easy and cheap to prove what's the shape with lasers
If someone wants to invent a powerful visible-light laser and point it level with the horizon to prove it either way, go for it.
But what if it were profitable to not do so? Sheep's cloths look really silly on a wolf, but not to a sheep.
If the Earth is flat, the laser should be able to strike a point equal in relative elevation anywhere on the plane.
Don't even need lasers, the issue's clearly demonstrated by propagation of radio. It's why TV/Radio towers are needed & you can directly calculate how far it will go over flat terrain.
If it's round/globe the laser should move tangentially away from the surface.
