Magnetic field

The ones that change 180 degrees arnt the ones picked up by a compass on the RE.  On yours the compass would have to pick up the lines that would chaneg 180 as you travel since every line changes.  No magnetic single magnetic line can follow the surface. 

I don't understand, how are they not picked up on a round Earth? 

If these field lines did not change 180 degrees while traveling from the south to the north then they would NOT be magnetic field lines.  There is really only one place where the field lines follow the Earth's surface and that is at the Equator.

This site isn't THAT funny.

Seconded that one. but I must admit, some of you FE dimwits are truly funny. It's not the site.

Hey you!  Remember this?  Wasn't beast's comment just hilarious?

zing of the day.

Once again the FE'rs have come up with a disproving theory.....for one.......you said the earth is flagt yet you draw it not being flat.....something flat is where's it's 2-D if the earth is 2-D then that means i could drill through it with the right equipmwnr but then you say that it goes everlasting then what about the other planets.....wouldn't they have cylinders too? also if everything moved at the same m.p.h. or whatver your using then how did the asteroids hit the earth...annnd what about jupiter i've SEEN VIDEOS OF WHEN ASTEROIDS HIT IT THEY WAT THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM IT THEN IT HIT IT ALSO THE STORM??? HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN THE STORM DISAPPEAR AND REAPPEAR GOOD GOSH YOU STUPID FE"rs!!!!

I think this qualifies you for the "Dumbest Post of the Day" award.  Congratulations.

Ok if it's stupid then why don't you answer some of my questions......i've asked 3 times you all have answered a single time

haven't

You'd like us to disprove that the Earth is 2D??

Fine. On my way home I'll kick up an inch of dirt from the ground. If the Earth is 2D, having only length and width as you've supposed, I should be able to look down and see into the vast reaches of space.

Not if the earth disc has measurable depth. I'm waiting for someone to clarify that. If I say it's thin, you guys say it's thick. But then you just used this argument... which is it?

What argument did we just use?  As it's been stated before, the earth is hundreds if not thousands of miles thick.

"The Cylindrical Earth Society" just doesn't have the same panache does it?

I was trying to think of a response but couldnt.  But then I noticed I dont have to since the picture is wrong.  Since when did field lines point to the north side of a magnet? 

The field directions are correct, but the little magnet drawn in the center is backwards; south should be up.  That is why the "north" end of a compass points towards the celestial "north" as I'm sure you know. 

Regardless of direction, magnetic field lines do not follow the surface of the Earth.  In either model.  Unless the Earth were a torus, but that's just silly. 

Time to start the Torus Earth Society!  All my calculations will be based on the assumption that the Earth is a torus!  Woot torus's!

Ok dude you all say it's flat...soo that gives me the description "2-d" then you all show a cylindar of the flat earth......so that disproves that it's flat.......flat would only be but 2-10 miles think and that much not a cylindar

Flat as in it has a flat surface.

No, my monitor is only 2-dimensional.  So is my desk.  Vauxy is not, though, ggrrrrrrrowl...

*glares at toothpaste and points him towards the thread in general discussion*

So I took the mods advice and bumped a relevant topic to add to the discussion.

I'm sure this will get a half-hearted response.
