Flat Earth Q&A / Daily apparition and disappearance of the stars

« on: November 18, 2016, 06:55:31 PM »

Are the apparition in the evening and the disappearance in the morning of the stars predictable? 

What guides their timing?  Do they follow a schedule? 

Is there a technical label for these phenomena?

Flat Earth Q&A / Saskatchewan, Canada -- dimensions; flat earth to "globe" correction

« on: May 13, 2016, 11:54:38 AM »

What do you guys think of this? 
The geometry seems awry. 

The shape of the province of Saskatchewan is that of a trapezoid, as depicted in all popular maps.  The western border follows the -110degree longitude precisely.  The eastern border is disjointed.  The south-eastern border ends at the -101degree longitude while the north-eastern border starts at the -102degree longitude.  Yet, both borders are of the same length.  Methinks this can not be possible unless popular maps are wrong. 
The northern border follows the 60th parallel and the southern border follows the 49th parallel. 

Physical geography

Saskatchewan is an approximate trapezoid. Its western border runs concurrent with the 4th meridian or the 110°W longitude, separating Saskatchewan from the province of Alberta. This border extends in length for 1,225 kilometers (761 mi) and was established in 1905 when both provinces were formed.[5]

Saskatchewan's eastern border includes minor measurement errors from the 1880s, so that it does not lie perfectly on the 102°W longitude, but rather it is slightly west of that meridian from 60°N parallel to 55°47'N, then slightly east of that until the Canada–United States border – an irregular line (rather than a straight one) for its 1,225 kilometers (761 mi) distance.[6] When Saskatchewan was formed in 1905, Manitoba and the District of Keewatin were the neighboring areas to the east. Manitoba was enlarged in 1912 north to the 60th parallel, becoming Saskatchewan's only eastern neighbor. This remaining section of the border was determined by survey between 1961 and 1972.[5]

The Lounge / flat earth snowglobes and snowdomes

Has anybody encountered a snowglobe or a snowdome that depicts the true form of the earth? 

I think it would be a great idea to fabricate such a table-top trinket. Imagine equipping it with rotating lights which project the constellations on your ceiling!

Flat Earth Q&A / Appearance and Disappearance of Stars

« on: November 03, 2015, 05:37:21 PM »

I am constantly fascinated with the gradual appearance of the stars in the evening and their fading away in the wee hours of the morning. 

Is there any consistency to this? 
Are they predictable? 
Any ideas on what guides these sequences?
