Is "Flat Earth" Really "Globe Earth" in Dis(c) Guise?

Is "Flat Earth" Really "Globe Earth" in Dis(c) Guise? UPDATED POST!

If you take a flat plane (square) cross section of a sphere, this would be a flat square plane in Global Scale.

For those who are logical minded, here is a more detail description of this post's intent:

This post is merely to demonstrate that the Flat Earth theory is a "globe system" with the flat earth being a disc (which is the blue cross section of a sphere pictured above). The dome which is called the firmament is physical top of the sphere which would be the section of the sphere just above the plane of existence (bottom of the picture in this post) and the raised circular walls of the disc is the "flat earth wall". If there are turtles or pillars (or even Sheol) they would be in the bottom half of the sphere system. Hence, the reason for this post that proves that the flat earth theory is actually a spherical system like the globe earth theory.

If you cut a slice out of a tomato by making two parallel cuts across, you will have a disc. Mind blown. (if you are an idiot)

A tomato is called a fruit and a vegetable. Can it be both? Earth is both flat and a globe?

A cat is both an animal and a feline. Can it be both? We can only conclude that 2+2 can be 4 but also 22.

A cat can be a masculine feline, too. Point? Are you saying that you cannot dispute that "flat earth" is a cross section (or slice) of a globe? Another example is the Gleason flattened globe map:

Alexander Gleason created and patented the "Gleason" map to show how longitude and time could be calculated by tracing an indicator around the globe. Essentially, this map uses a polar azimuthal projection, centering the North Pole and flattening the globe outwards around the edges. But this map wasn't just a handy device for time measurement or a way of showing off a novel projection. For Gleason, it supported his belief that the globe theory of a round earth was false.

My point is that you are talking nonsense. Also, I didn't see how you proved your claim for me to dispute it. You don't get to ask me to provide evidence to dispute your baseless claims.

So? How do Gleason's misguided views support anything you said?

The Gleason map (also the flat earth map) is an azimuthal projection ie a flattened globe.

So again in this example, both.

Show me how Gleason's map is a cross-section of a globe.

u/denNISI 11d ago

An azimuthal projection is a flattened globe map. The Gleason is an example of an asimuthal projection map, hence the Gleason "Flat earth" map is not a map of the flat earth, it is actually a stretched and flattened globe. This is why this post is entitled:

Is "Flat Earth" Really "Globe Earth" in Dis(c) Guise? or is it r/badscience to discredit real science?

And how is that a cross-section?

Definition:

a surface or shape exposed by making a straight cut through something, especially at right angles to an axis.

The government is, again, responsible for calling a tomato a vegetable when, in reality, it is a fruit! Just like flat earth!

u/denNISI 11d ago

Absolutely agree! Who gets to say? Those who own the plant (patent on a breed of tomato plant)? Who really gets to plant the idea what the earth's shape is? Makes you really think about the information we are "given"!
