I think the funny thing about this article is this numeric error (though not so egregious as the one that caused the article!): > The mean radius of the earth is actually 3,459 miles or over 18 million feet. That’s off by 500 miles; the correct figure is 3,959 miles. That makes it almost 21 million feet, and yields a ratio of about 1.0013378, even smaller than the quoted 1.0015. |
