Miles in radius at the equator, that equates to, you know, the thing.
If the Earth is a globe over 3,950

The earth should have a detectable physical horizon.

makes sense
>Circumference = 25000 = 2*pi*radius
>Radius = 25000/(2*pi) = 3978.87 miles
>1 mile = 5280 feet
>Radius = 3978.87*5280 = 21008433.6
>(3978.87*5280)^2 + (3*5280)^2 = x^2
>x = sqrt((3978.87*5280)^2 + (3*5280)^2)
>x = 21008439.6 feet
>x - radius = 21008439.57 - 21008433.6 = 6 feet

I can see the horizon with my own eyes

you're measuring miles up, not out
Jace Kelly
what do you mean?
im measuring the 'declination' which equals the secant less the radius
