It seems like lately all attempts to investigate any proposed flat earth model on here don't really progress because there isn't any model.
I mean, there used to be - the good old Gleason's map with the dome over it, and the sun and moon circling around 3000 miles high, moving in between the Tropics - but now that thinking flat earthers have accepted the impossibility of all that, the whole thing appears out the window.
So what do TFES's flat earthers believe about their model? And I'm talking basics here.
1. It's flat. We've got that much, right? It's like a giant version of Kansas. Not a sphere. A flat plane.
2. Does it have a dome over it? Many people seem to believe that. Though I don't suppose it matters.
3. Where is the sun? We can all see it, and we can all measure certain things about it. But how high is it? And where is it in relation to the Earth?
4. Does the north pole exist? I.e., is there a point in the centre of everything to which all compasses point?
5. Where is the north star? 90% of us can see it, and we can measure certain things about it. But no one seems to know where it is.
6. Where is the moon? How high? Where in relation to the plane? And how does it get in front of the sun to cause eclipses?
7. What about a map? Given how much we all move about on the surface of the planet, and how little difficulty we have doing that these days, why is there no flat earth map? Or even, it seems, the vaguest notion of where countries and cities are? Can the location of any single place on the flat earth be stated with any degree of confidence? Like: how far is LA from the north pole? From Seattle? From San Diego? Are those questions impossible to answer too?
These are the basics. They really ought to have answers by now.
