The flat earth conspiracy

a reply to: Raggedyman
Would you care to share any of the "quality" WAGS ( definitely not theories), "valid" evidence or "solid" science"?

wrong thread

Don't worry. Those who believe have that all figured out. The Earth is stationary with the Sun and Moon much closer and smaller, distances and sizes differ according to to whoever is making stuff up, circling above. Some claim a dome while others do not. It depends if the view point, theist or atheist. Gravity is "only a theory". Ignoring that there is Newton's Law of Universal Gravity (what gravity does) and Einstein's Theory of Relativity(the explanation of how). Thank goodness for the denial of Science.

The most common FE model I have seen resembles a deep dish pizza. An encircling ice wall (Antarctica) keeps the oceans from spilling off. Lets not forget the UN and NASA forces keeping interlopers away. Never mind the cruises and available tourist flights. A Gleason projection, think the UN logo, being the actual position of the continents, with the North Pole being at the center. Of course they are still working on why Polaris isn't visible in Australia and why the Southern Cross isn't visible from North America, as well as a multitude of inconsistencies observed in reality.

Is it NASA that made Polaris get higher in the sky that time I drove from Santa Cruz to Eugene?

Of course it was, who else? With a budget of $52 million a day, what isn't possible?

Some thing odd is going on. just look at wold map pic's.
this pic has the south pole across half the map?
how can it be that big?
link to pic !
or do a search of world map and look at the south pole.
the can not be that stupid or are they trying to tell us some thing?
what I dont know.

1) Antarctica is not the south pole. It is a continent. A continent which, on a flat world, surrounds the entire Earth.
2) The map is a Mercator projection.

People who believe in FET seriously discredit and do a disservice to any real conspiracy theory. If you believe in FET you are without a question either a troll or mentally unwell (medically). If someone believes FET, everything they say is fully discredited, and I would not bother conversing with them. It’s mind boggling and sad that there could be anyone who legitimately believes FET. I’m sorry to be so blatant, but I am open to some crazy conspiracy theories but this is just ridiculous. Pure cave man thinking. Come on.

To some people the world is flat, to some its round, to others its triangle, and to others, its an interpretation and mixmash of base perceptions projected upon a flat screen of peoples minds.

The truth is....Nobody is getting off this so called rock, or going anywhere, anytime soon, or ever. Believe, is merely what you make of it, or what it makes of you.

Lets just say, there are plenty of people who seem to be able to tell you about whats out there in space or the world at large from the depts of the sea to the ends of the universe and existence. And yet. None of them have been there.

The world isn't flat or round, its merely an interpretation and agreement upon a course, its a mind map and projection upon the front of the skull. Its platos cave upon a greater scale then the state was for the greeks and there gods, its something created for the much more advanced cellphone and credit card carrying cavemen and cavewomen.

Oh conspiracy...

a reply to: Phage

the map is not mercator - i was going to say " its one of the pseudo azimuthal designs "

as both long and lat are distorted

as this is a flat earth thread - i CBA working out which it is - and it could even be van der griten

a reply to: buddha

how would YOU draw antactica ?

a reply to: dfnj2015

If the Earth was flat, why can I not see the Southern Cross?

You are Not looking at the map are you!
I am not saying the earth is flat.
but That map Is Not a globe.
Look at the bottom land mass.
it is half as big as the aquator.
that shoud be inposible. Go Look!

It's knowing that airplanes fly level, measuring it level with air pressure readings, along the whole flight, while at altitude, throughout the time, and eventually lands down, from that same altitude, which proves the Earth is flat.

If it was a ball, the plane would be 1600 feet above Earth by that point, because of 'curvature'. Which obviously does not exist, at all.

I'm simply looking at the proof, and where it leads to, is all that matters to me. Why would I have proof of it, but not accept it, is for fools, or deniers, afraid of the truth. There is no need for anyone to fear the truth.

yes he is looking at the map - and he understands how all map projections cause DISTORTION

you clearly do not

lets explain

for purpose of explain this to you - i am using the assumption that the earth is a perfect sphere - with equal equitorial and polar circumpfrance

ok - lets begin :

each degree of LATITUDE and LONGITUDE is divided into 60 MINUITES of ARC [ each minuite is further divided into 60 ARC SECONDS but i digress ]

now each minuite of latitude anywhere on the globe = 1 NAUTICAL MILE [ 1Nm ]

1 minuite of longitude at the equator = 1Nm too

as you go south or north - as the earth is a sphere - the lines of longitude get shorter

the TROPIC OF CANCER [ N23 26 12 - those figs are degrees arc munuites arc seconds ] is currently 36,788 kilometres long [ the EQUATOR is currently 40075 km ]

now looking at antarctica - its obvious that at latitude S89 59 59 again degree munuites seconds - the degrees of longitude are very small

the latitude i cite is a circle 30m north of the south pole

now does it make sense to you ?

distortion is present on all map projections - some have more than others - try looking at other map types
see the diference - look at a globe

edit to add - all the all caps words i use are not random shouting - but key words you should google to help you understand your error better

further - with a rope - marked to 10ma box of chalk sticks and a tape measure - you can preform a very simple experiment - that will demonstrate this in a empty carpark [ or other flat hardstanding ]

a belated chirstmass gift - for all the trolls cultists and pseudo science weingnuts with flat earth delusions :



i am going to buy myself one

This is an equidistant projection of a satellite image taken in 1968.

You can present it in all kinds of different ways, like this from a published compilation of images:

but only when you project that data on to a sphere does it match observed reality:

What if it is both round and flat? Depending on your beliefs which manifest both realities?
