Put a flat earthier into space


I'm going to see Brian Cox at the Empire on Saturday. Can't wait to look at loads of points of light from the carbon arc projector

Ask him about Nukeys musings and see how long it takes for you to be escorted from the building 👌
 
I've been away from this thread for a few days, but it's been great fun catching it all up again. A few posts that caught my attention were the ones where Nukey accepted that the distances between different cities are all correct based on current mapping, the examples used earlier were London, Buenos Aires and Darwin. So I thought 3 spots on a map in 2D will create a triangle, which I have drawn using an online tool:

Point A is Buenos Aires
Point B is Darwin
Point C is London

This shows that Buenos Aires is 11,129km from London and 14,689km from Darwin and that Darwin is 13,850km from London. Remember Nukey, you have agreed with all of these distances a few pages ago.

So let's introduce a 4th city into this, for example, Cape Town.

Cape Town is 9,669km from London, it is 11,215km from Darwin and is it 6,872km from Buenos Aires. This presents a bit of a problem, because for Cape Town to fit between Buenos Aires and Darwin on a flat map, they would need to be further apart. However, if this were to become a 3D map, and you added a point D (representing Cape Town) at the established distances away from the other 3 cities, they would all match reality. As you then added more cities from around the world, all with corresponding distances, your 3D model would start to look more and more like a ball. Funny that! I'm sure there would even be an online tool that would be able to demonstrate this.

I don't need to prove anyone wrong.
You have your setup and you're rigid on it because everything's on a plate for you. It's as simple as that.
What I offer is what I offer and I do not expect you or anyone to do anything other than throwing it aside or even ridicule it. It's all fine as far as I'm concerned but it doesn't change what I know...and that is, Earth is absolutely not a spinning globe and my theory is strong for me with what I go with for alternates to that global fantasy.

You said the distances work on the flat map not just a globe, me and others have argued that, you by your own drawing have proved we are right.
I've given you the opportunity to show how 3 or 4 distances can work on a flat map as well as a globe but you can't, thought it would be easy?

Ok, I will take from that you have no idea as well as all your other mates👌

Strange to think not one of you lot has even attempted to map the flat earth, wonder why 🤔

Unmappable as well as inhospitable

Whatever you think. It's all fine with me. I know what I know.

Never called you an idiot matey 🤷‍♂️

But it would help if you showed us what you know 👌

The exercise is for you to think out of the box. Piece the jigsaw instead of fighting it and you just never know.
Start by dismantling your schooled globe if you want to find out alternatives.
That's key but it has to be down to you, not me to aid in that as you well know, I'm an idiot so my help would be a hindrance.

I never said that I just wanted your logic and explanation of how certain distances could work on a flat layout which work on a globe model.
They just don't
Known regular distances flew each day.

Those distances can be made by tweaking that map. It's just a case of scaling it to fit the distances offered.

I’ve taken your musings with an open mind, dismantled the globe model and put everything back together again and I still am 100% certain we are on a globe.

Nothing you have stated makes much sense to be honest but your lack of evidence hinders you greatly 🤷‍♂️
