Flat Earth General / Flat Earth DIY.

« on: December 18, 2017, 04:26:48 AM »

A few people have asked about radio hams or airline pilots being flat earth believers.     I'm going to bring it down to earth slightly, and within the realms of possibility...  Any flat-earth DIY enthusiasts out there?
How do you cut a piece of wood in half with your refusal to measure anything?   I'm  guessing there are some very wobbly tables in flat earthers' houses!
Cheers.

Flat Earth General / Latitude measurement.

« on: November 30, 2017, 08:28:27 PM »

Why do flat earth exponents measure latitude in degrees?  Thinking about their flat circular map I can see why  longitude is measured in degrees but surely a linear measurement like Kilometres or Miles  is what you'd need for all those straight lines radiating from the north pole on a flat surface?
My home is about 54 degrees north of the equator,  and on the spherical world that makes sense (it also fits with the elevation of Polaris - wahey! - but that's not my issue here)  but why the degrees if it's not a sphere?
Cheers.
