If earth was a globe, the distance round its surface at 45 degrees south latitude, couldn't be greater than it is at the same latitude to the north. However, since navigators find it to be double the distance, or double the distance it should be (according to the globe earth theory), this is cast iron proof earth is flat.
Unfortunately this is, as usual, off topic.
I posted the question about magnetism, not distances, however i can open a new thread to discuss navigation, Astro navigation, calculating distances, and spherical trigonometry if you wish, but i fear you will not follow what i post, and dismiss it as lies.
Anyway back to magnetism;
The Q&A section describes the flat earth as having a radial orientated ring magnetism, sounds awfully technical doesn’t it?
The problem with that is that such magnets are essentially series of bar magnets arranged in a RING (that word is important) with the same poles all pointing towards the Center of the ring.
Here in lies the problem.
Anyone who knows anything at all about magnetism ( i am guessing not a lot of FEers, due to lack of response to a clearly titled thread) knows that like poles repel, and therefore there is no possibility to get all of the north poles in one location, as they will tear the flat earth apart at the pole, or there will be a large area that has no magnetic field, as the poles of the individual magnet sections cannot be close together, but form part of the inner ring, which there are calculations for, but from most radial magnets i have seen, it would be fair to say would cover about 2000 to 3000 miles from the pole.
As for the South Pole, it is physically impossible to produce a truly unipole magnet, so there would be a number of south poles around the perimeter of the world, but as they radiate out starting at the North Pole, these would be hundreds or thousands of miles apart, causing massive variations in the southern oceans. Granted there is on part of the southern Indian Ocean with variations up to 25 degrees, but that is only 1 spot, and not that great in the scheme of things.
So please can we have a rational explanation of the earths magnetic field with a flat Earth? I am interested to hear what the FEers have to contribute to the debate, other than it is a conspiracy, or lies, or made up. The Q&A page makes a claim, i would like the supporters of this idea to explain what they think is happening, i wont even (at this stage) ask for proof or evidence, and will debate the physics in question, so come on, give me some theories.
