If you were on a globe and had view Horizon Limit of 300,000 kilometers from a height of one meter, What would be the radius of the Globe??

HUGE! something like 4.5e10km unless i dropped a few zeros.

The formula is for the radius in term of distance and height is ( for h d ) r = d^2 / (2 h) r = (300 000 km)^2 / (.002 km) = 4.5 x 10^13 km |

Sorry to keep Bugging everybody but, What would be the diameter of this diagram? http://home.earthlink.net/~expanding...eterofwhat.jpg |

So our universe curves one meter over 300,000,000 meters.
It is almost flat, but not quite |

Velocity turns into frequency if they were at the speed of light we would never see them decay. and the sun doesn't put out enough energy to get them to that speed anyway. |
