and that means r (the distance from the origin) is = 352.10073391721704 feet or miles
φ (the angle from the z- axis)= 1.0334419056850023 degrees
θ (the angle from the x- axis)=0.23719750535693354 degrees
the origin i believe is the lat and long. like it has been worked out be for.
that is what I have, now if this is of any use someone will be able to figure this out but me being a freshman i have almost no knowledge of this stuff yet so i'm done for today,
(my head hurts now)

I believe we need to work within a 2-coordinate "map" system. I have no way of placing a decent "origin" on the earth and deciding which axis will be which. I think an angle - distance, latitude-longitude, or other well-known system is the best way to go. The third "variable" will not refer to space, but to time -
Unless, of curse we're all totally wrong and Dave is messing with our heads.
