That's why it distorts down south
You have to apply maths to use it ,you have to calculate the distortion ,you an use it to navigate but you need to apply maths ,that was the only reason that map was invented
It was never a flat earth map
People who say it is are lying or disinformed
Or misinformed
Rather
I think most FEers admit that map isn't a *true* representation of flat earth, just that it mostly likely comes the closest? At least, I've heard that from some.
It's certainly used as gospel, though, from some.
You won't be able to create a working flat earth map without distortion period
It's impossible
You can however flip it all inside out and turn it concave
That works
Yeah, you can't make a 2D map of the globe without distortion, *period*.
Instead of squashing the spherical map to a flat earth map ,for concave just peel away the outside of the sphere to make it flat
Works just the same
Like peeling a orange ,but no orange in it
My fav is claiming flight paths don't make sense on the Mercator map. Yes, of course. Because it's a heavily distorted representation of the globe.
I have a animation of the actual transition if anyone wants to see
From spherical to flat ae

He squashes it
So you can see
My question is why go to such effort to promote a map that don't work, why is there so many flat earth youtube channels etc
I don't think it's just to have a laugh or to test people or whatever
I suspect it's hiding concave earth tbh
Invert it all
It actually works
3 possible models
Convex
Flat
Concave
Take your pick
Except ...rule out flat earth
Not possible imo
So...
Convex or concave
Water contained inside a sphere, or water stuck to a spinning ball because of gravity
Stationary or not stationary
The physics of concave earth make WAY more sense imo
