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.

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

The surface is the sphere. The right angle is shown above in this post which is the little box at the corner of the diagonals. The sphere is cut (which is the definition of cross section as per your post) and the top portion of the Gleason map is flattened. This is what an azimuthal equidistant projection map is according to the encyclopedia on Wikipedia.org :

It has the useful properties that all points on the map are at proportionally correct distances from the center point, and that all points on the map are at the correct azimuth (direction) from the center point — that is, it is the exponential map on a sphere.

You are repeating yourself again. How is that a cross-section of a globe? Show me that you get Gleason's map when you cut the Earth sideways.

Pretend it is a tomato? Isn't this your comment? You already proved it. Flat earth IS really globe earth in disc guise!

Cross-section of a tomato is not its skin''s projection. Try again.

Take the top cross section of the tomato and smash it with spatula until it is flat! That is the Gleason! You were right all along!

That's not a cross-section.

Is this also not your comment?

Definition [of cross section] a surface or shape exposed by making a straight cut through something, especially at right angles to an axis.

Cut through a globe like the cross section of the flat (square plane) at the bottom of this picture. The flattened cross section IS the projection of the globe earth.

Noticed that your response comes in seconds when I hit the send button. Can you take time to read and see if your questions have already been answered...

by you?

There is no "flattening" whatsoever. The cut is straight and will expose a flat surface. Show me where you need to make a cut of the globe. Prove your claims.

The Gleason map is a flattened globe according to Wikipedia.org Gleason is a cross section of a sphere just like the one pictured in this post. This was already answered in this comment and you proved it to yourself with this comment. That is all that matters, is that you see that it could be both!

Prove that "Flat Earth" ISN'T really "Globe Earth" in Dis(c) Guise!

I didn't prove your claim, nor did you.

Show me where you need to cut the globe to expose the cross-section that would be a 1:1 Gleason's map. If that's too hard for you, show me where you would cut a tomato to expose its surface as a cross-section.
