Why Do People Believe The Earth Is Flat?
Why Do People Believe The Earth Is Flat?
Interesting, I often watch this guy for movie analysis and yet today I noticed he had an old video on this subject.

Flat Earth model can't work like Eric Dubay claims.
The AE projection of the globe is not a flat earth map. It's a representation not an accurate map. There are ZERO maps of the whole earth that are accurate including 3D globes. Maps are accurate locally and for specific purposes. In the heliocentric model the Sun illuminates more than 50% of the sphere.
There are over 100+ datums in use, all with unique scaling factors. There is the International Terrestrial Reference System where coordinates are set by convention and not observation.
Then there is the Universal Transverse Mercatur whose origin of coordinates is not the center of the earth but the equator, which is known to not actually be at that location.
One can check globe sunrises and sunsets from timeanddate.com or the United States Naval Observatory and try to model them out in 3D using the oblate spheroid. You would find they don't match up in Autocad even using 16 digit precision.
The so called Flat Earth map is not good for anything other than for keeping time zones.
It's derived from the Gleeson's map which is a patented general time and longitude calculator only.
The earth is not a round flat disc. There is no ice wall. All oceans rest in basins no wall required. There are indeed 2 magnetic poles, Antarctica does not circle the entire earth.
1 nautical mile is not 1 statute mile that we use on land.
Nautical miles are based on the ocean curving on a globe.
1 nautical mile = 1.1508 statute mile.
Sextants can't measure size of objects. That is why the sun is not 32 miles across at 3000 miles in height.
GPS is really LORAN-D.
Hyperbolic navigation refers to a class of navigation systems based on the difference in timing between the reception of two signals, without reference to a common clock. This timing reveals the difference in distance from the receiver to the two stations.
Plotting all of the potential locations of the receiver for the measured delay produces a series of hyperbolic lines on a chart. Taking two such measurements and looking for the intersections of the hyperbolic lines reveals the receiver's location to be in one of two locations.
Any other form of navigation information can be used to eliminate this ambiguity and determine a fix.
LORAN, for LOng RAnge Navigation, and the first chain of two stations went live on June 1942. LORAN became LORAN-A when the design of its replacement started, this was initially the LORAN-B concept, but eventually replaced by the very long-range LORAN-C starting in 1957.
GWEN Ground Wave Emergency Network transmitters placed 200 miles apart across the USA. They operate in the LF range, with transmissions between LF 150 and 175 KHz. They also emit waves from the upper VHF to the lower UHF range of 225 - 400 MHz. The LF signals travel by waves that hug the ground rather than radiating into the atmosphere.
A GWEN station transmits in a 360 degree circle up to 300 miles, the signal dropping off sharply with distance. The entire GWEN system consists of, from 58 to an intended 300 transmitters spread across the USA, each with a tower 299-500 ft high.
300 ft copper wires in spoke-like fashion fan out from the base of the system underground, interacting with the earth, like a thin shelled conductor, radiating radio wave energy for very long distances through the ground.
Each GWEN Relay Node site featured a longwave transmitting tower, generally between 290 and 299 feet tall, and emitting an RF output of between 2,000 and 3,000 watts. Of 240 planned GWEN towers, only 58 were built.
In 1994, a defense appropriations bill banned the funding of new GWEN tower construction, and a few months later, the GWEN program was transferred by the US Air Force to the United States Coast Guard, who outfitted the GWEN sites to house the National Differential GPS system.
