« on: September 27, 2023, 10:15:22 PM »Please explain why projecting the image of a round earth onto a flat surface should invalidate any predictions that a round earth model would make.You do realize that this is essentially the same thing as saying that "GPS proves the curvature" like ichoosenonsense claimed, right? It's all done on paper from a mathematical model of the ball Earth. In reality no one has measured the curvature. Ever.Do you realize that a mathematical model of the ball earth can make predictions can can be verified in reality but won't work on a flat earth?
This is an unfortunate comment because it shows that you haven't looked at the material that your globe-defending friend provided.
It explains that you can project the imaginary ball's curvature onto a flat plane no problem by using the so-called "Snake Projection" method, and it is mathematically valid.
No, I meant what I said. Personal satisfaction has nothing to do with it.It may not be possible to measure the curvature to your satisfaction, but it is possible to verify the consequences of that curvature.
You mean that you are personally satisfied that it exists, which is different.
