    A thousand cubic metres???? That's half a football field (FIFA) 2 meters high? Or my house by 4. I find that hard to believe.

    Wonderful. So gravity distorts space in such a way taht actual orbit is an inch less than calculated orbit. Now I just need to get it in millimeters. Thank you.

  11. Re:Great idea! Let's keep it going: on 'Eraser' Law Will Let California Kids Scrub Online Past · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't get the "one inch" part. I put it to you that you are wrong. A GPS statelite is about 26560000 meters above the Earth's centre. So that is an orbit of 2*pi*26560000 = 166881401,8 meters. Using 3 instead of pi we get 159360000, which is some 7521401,759 m less. Using the old approximation of 22/7, it is a little more than 67 km longer than the real orbit. Please explain yourself.
