Flat Earth General / Re: Tom Bishop thinks "the RE should try to figure out the nonsense in their model".
« on: May 30, 2019, 05:30:40 PM »Thank you for the apology, I really appreciate it. I didn't mean to be so touchy.Sorry, I was too harsh. You are absolutely right, and I let the heat of the argument overtake my good sense and manners. I am sincerely sorry. I agree with you more than you know; I hold very dear the phrase: "I know I am intelligent because I know I know nothing."Do you really feel copy pasting a google search lead you to a better answer over deductive reasoning (read: actually reading the word before pasting it.) I am being a bit harsh. I suppose lots of educated people don't know who Euclid is.QuoteEuclid's Elements represents almost all the geometry you learned throughout grade school. It is one of the most notable and known non-fiction books of all time. For over two thousand years it served as the textbook on the subject. When someone says "non-euclid" geometry, you should be able to guess that its a geometry that is against the most notable work in geometry of all time.
You see, that is where you and I differ. I choose not to guess when I don't understand something completely. I am humble enough to look up an answer and not guess on exactly what it means. In my line of work, I am an accountant, non-euclidean geomentry does not play a factor, so I am sorry that I am unfamiliar with it. But I should have guessed that.I mean, you actually claim the earth is flat. If that is not a guess, then I don't know what is...
Stash, he has told you exactly where to go and where to look. You were just too lazy to repeat the experiment before crying foul.
First I posted by accident and didn't know how to delete. That wasn't the point I was trying to make but oh well. Yes, I know who Euclid is, doesn't mean that I understood what non euclidean geometry was. You don't need to be an arrogant prick because of my ignorance. Unlike you I don't pretend to know it all.
Again, I am very sorry. That was out of line.
Can you explain how you use non euclidean geometry to show a flat earth? Or is this more of a thought experiment?
