Quite a beautiful model IMO:

http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-229.03,-12.93,356

(Click and drag to view different parts of the spherical earth and use mousewheel to zoom in/out)

The RE model is clear about what causes winds and why air is deflected to the left and right in the southern and northern hemispheres respectively. What is the FE explanation for this, aside from turtle farts and/or the mysterious, ever-changing-depending-on-what-you-need-to-attempt-to-explain-away aether?

Whatever their answer is, it'll inevitably have something to do with refraction and/or denpressure (depending which FE responds).

I don't get it.  Is that supposed to prove a round-earth?  If the programmer put it on a cube would it prove a cube-earth?

If you ignore all of the text in the post can you assume whatever you want?

Apparently you can!

It wouldn't prove anything, but neither would it work as a model.

The point is that here is yet another fully working model based on a spherical earth.  If the earth were flat it would not work.  Yet it does.  Strange, eh?

I reread it and I still don't see how it proves a round-earth. If I say aliens live in Phoenix then post a cartoon of them walking about, I would hardly think that proves anything. This seems to be nothing more than that.

The OP is not about proving a RE, although accurate modelling of global wind patterns is a point for it.  The OP is about FEs take on wind patterns.  Anything to add?

We're not talking about proving a round earth.  We're talking about the cause of surface winds, and why they're different north and south of the equator.  Have you not heard of the Coriolis effect?

These wind patterns are caused by the geometry of the earth;  the shape of the earth wasn't caused by the winds LOL.  Your powers of logic are a tad shaky I'm afraid;  you're transposing cause and effect.

And no; the programmer couldn't have modelled this on a cube—for more than obvious geometrical limitations apparent to anybody vaguely familiar with topology and/or geophysics.

At any rate Pongo, please feel free to post your flat earth representation of the wind patterns on your flat earth model.  I'd be interested to see how they work in comparison to the established round earth model.

This is why people come to FES and become flat-earthers.  I'm trying to alleviate my ignorance through calm discussion and you three chide, mock, and chastise me.  You round-earthers come across as a bitter and world-beaten bunch.  If you were in a galaxy far far away, the emperor would deny you apprenticeship for having too much anger.

So they don't become FEers because of the evidence?  Got it.

If you had not put your facetious comment about a cube earth in there, then I would have remained neutral as well.

The question wasn't an attack. I was asking how the shape of the object the wind patterns were on proved the shape.  Reread it but take off your hate-tinted glasses first and you'll see what I mean.

They don't Pongo.  The spherical shape of the earth proves the patterns of the wind, which can be measured at any ground station on the planet.

And I'm still awaiting your flat earth diagram of the planet's variable surface wind patterns, and an explanation of how they're caused.

That's quite a request.  Posting here isn't my day job nor do I have the requisite skills or data to make such a map.  Perhaps we can gather it on our expedition (http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=61797.0#.U77C0JRdWGc) if you would like to help with funding.

On a side note, it seems that none of you made that fancy map in the OP.  Looks like it was just taken from somewhere else and posted here.  Quite the request indeed to put in zero effort then demand that I make a comparable map for flat-earth theory.

I demand that you write a comparable series of novels named "SphereWorld."  I'll wait.

To make a model like this it requires data put together by weather observers all over the world. I am one of those weather observers. I take readings of the wind aboard ships in the Pacific Ocean and submit them online to a site called J-OBS which is just a part of the pool of data that entities like NOAA use to put things like this together.

Right, and I'm saying that to meet AusGeoff's request will require a massive undertaking.  He seems to think I can have it for him by the end of the business day.

I would agree. It's a nearly impossible task but I don't think he is eluding to it being so just because of the amount of effort involved.

Well he probably does but he's also saying that cause he knows that it can't be done, which again, isn't just because it is difficult.

I understand all of that.  I wasn't asking you to personally draw up a map of the planetary wind patters—probably few of us are capable of such a task.  What I was asking you to do was to post a diagram sourced from the repository of the flat earth society(s).  Surely the flat earthers must have some knowledge of what would produce these observed weather patterns—but on a flat plane which isn't rotating?  So... your link is?

Uh... are you serious?  As far as I know, posting an image which somebody else has produced doesn't automatically make it erroneous and/or bogus.  Is that truly your best rebuttal—rather than posting a flat earth diagram of a similar thing?  You commit a common logical fallacy—as do many of your peers on this forum—in trying to prove your own theories by demolishing your opponent's evidence—instead of providing viable evidence in support of your claims.

Terry Pratchett's already done it.  "Discworld" is a comic fantasy book series set on the fictional Discworld, a flat disc balanced on the backs of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the back of a giant turtle.

This is a representation of Pratchett's Discworld:



And I'm sure people will notice the similarities with this map and the map the flat earthers claim as their own  (the round earth UN logo).

Is there any particular reason you can't address my request?  Do you not have access to such information?  And if not, then why not?

It's obvious that jroa and you have got your heads together at some stage (alts maybe?) and agreed to answer nonsensically whenever you're backed into a corner without an answer to a reasonable question from any round earther.

I gotta agree with this. You can't foist a burden of proof on someone and then badger them for evidence to back up a claim they did not make. It is obnoxious socially and fallacious from a discourse point of view.
