In 15 miles, there is curvature of 150 ft.
So, does this mean you're finally going to give up on the ridiculous bit about "8 inches per mile squared"? It was funny for a while, but now it's just getting sad.
But I'll try and dumb it down for you even further -- the curvature between an observer and a point above the surface 30 miles away forms a curved "bump" in between. Directly across the line of sight, the apex of this "bump" is what's blocking your view, which will be at approximately the midway point, 15 miles.
Get it so far?
This "bump" is curving upward, rising above the observer's feet to that 15 mile point.
Once again, BY YOUR FUCKING (stupid) formula that rise will be 8" over the next mile... RIGHT? (Remember, we're using YOUR incorrect numbers).
Over the next mile, the curve rises less (AGAIN, YOUR RETARDED "Formula"). I'm way too lazy to write an equation, but we can clearly see, that if we're talking about exponential shit, that second mile will have WAY less than 8" of rise... but let's give your retarded ass the benefit of the doubt, and say the second mile only has 7" of rise.
Third mile? Guess what? It's less than the previous (and quite incorrect, but again, giving your idiocy the benefit of the doubt) mile. Well under 6".
So, let's add it up -- the greatest value we have is 8", and it DECREASES from there.
So, how are you getting to 150' when you add 8" or less 15 times?
Or are you still stuck on the (moronic) idea that you're looking for the CNN Tower out in the Firmament, rather than across the horizon?
