Flat Earth Theory / Re: Why are lines of latitude longer south of the equator than north?
« on: February 03, 2021, 02:17:42 PM »The 3D Globe Earth map is fiction.These are good questions. I attempted to reconcile these problems in the map below. You'll notice that I shrunk all latitudes and longitudes below 30d north by 50% and increased latitude and longutudes by 150% above 60d north. I also increased the distance between 60w to 30w and correspondingly150e to 120e. This helps to modify and provide more accurate landmasses that we measure today, identical in the most popular fly over areas. Greenland, South America, Australia, and China are directly affected by this.
I drew an exact map to size in another post called "new world map (south centered)". This one is my best attempt at Photoshop on an android.
If your starting point is the 3D Globe Earth map and you are creating a 2D Flat Earth map, you will always face a loss of information. There is no way around it. You can do different projections to take different forms of the loss of information (distortion in distances, shapes, sizes etc) but there will always be a loss of information.
All maps are flat.
Period.
When you take something that is flat to begin with and try to make it into a sphere, that is where the idiocy begins.
