FE Scholar Brian's Logic decided to 'challenge' me in a video the other day on the Haversine Equation, Formula and Great Circle Distances. Unfortunately he has no more understanding of Great Circles than he did of Gyrocompasses.
We go over straight line vs great circle distances in this video and I correct Brian on the Haversine Formula and its' uses. Otis the Cat and Little Missy helped with the video.
NOTE CORRECTION::::
Michael pointed out a math error I made. When doing the Law of Cosines to determine the distance between Perth and Sydney, I made an error and reported the distance as 3.51 inches. It is actually 3.87 inches which compares well with the 3.85 inches I measured. The flat earth distance is over 4400 NM, the Haversine gave it as 1777 NM and the actual distance is 1778 NM. The globe earth is verified by distance and the flat earth is ruled out, again.
