That's why it distorts down south

2019-10-18 17:22:19 UTC  

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

2019-10-18 17:22:36 UTC  

It was never a flat earth map

2019-10-18 17:22:51 UTC  

People who say it is are lying or disinformed

2019-10-18 17:23:13 UTC  

Or misinformed

2019-10-18 17:23:15 UTC  

Rather

2019-10-18 17:23:48 UTC  

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.

2019-10-18 17:24:12 UTC  

It's certainly used as gospel, though, from some.

2019-10-18 17:24:19 UTC  

You won't be able to create a working flat earth map without distortion period

2019-10-18 17:24:37 UTC  

It's impossible

2019-10-18 17:25:02 UTC  

You can however flip it all inside out and turn it concave

2019-10-18 17:25:08 UTC  

That works

2019-10-18 17:25:37 UTC  

Yeah, you can't make a 2D map of the globe without distortion, *period*.

2019-10-18 17:25:52 UTC  

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

2019-10-18 17:26:03 UTC  

Works just the same

2019-10-18 17:27:03 UTC  

Like peeling a orange ,but no orange in it

2019-10-18 17:27:43 UTC  

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.

2019-10-18 17:28:02 UTC  

You will end up with this ,either way

I have a animation of the actual transition if anyone wants to see

2019-10-18 17:29:32 UTC  

From spherical to flat ae

2019-10-18 17:30:31 UTC  

He squashes it

2019-10-18 17:30:45 UTC  

So you can see

2019-10-18 17:32:08 UTC  

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

2019-10-18 17:32:40 UTC  

I don't think it's just to have a laugh or to test people or whatever

2019-10-18 17:32:50 UTC  

I suspect it's hiding concave earth tbh

2019-10-18 17:32:59 UTC  

Invert it all

2019-10-18 17:33:05 UTC  

It actually works

2019-10-18 17:33:38 UTC  

3 possible models

2019-10-18 17:33:42 UTC  

Convex

2019-10-18 17:33:43 UTC  

Flat

2019-10-18 17:33:46 UTC  

Concave

2019-10-18 17:33:51 UTC  

Take your pick

2019-10-18 17:34:45 UTC  

Except ...rule out flat earth

2019-10-18 17:34:51 UTC  

Not possible imo

2019-10-18 17:34:59 UTC  

So...

2019-10-18 17:35:03 UTC  

Convex or concave

2019-10-18 17:35:24 UTC  

Water contained inside a sphere, or water stuck to a spinning ball because of gravity

2019-10-18 17:35:46 UTC  

Stationary or not stationary

2019-10-18 17:36:31 UTC  

The physics of concave earth make WAY more sense imo
