Flat Earth Community / Re: Doesn't the bible say the sun and moon are IN the firmament?

I know not every flat-earther here may be christian

Virtually none are.

Doesn't this contradict this websites position that the sun and moon are inside of the dome, above the earth instead?

What makes you think that this is "this website's position"? I'm not convinced that's true.

Isn't that what the wiki says? That the sun and the moon are circling above the flat earth?

Yes but does it specify that it's happening inside a dome? I don't believe in it personally; it's unzetetic to needlessly posit the existence of something we've never observed, and I have yet to observe a dome above the Earth holding the heavens in, nor do I see any reason to infer its existence.

The logo of this website literally has a flat earth with a dome/bubble around it.

I know not every flat-earther here may be christian, but to any who are, doesn't the bible state that the sun and moon were attached to the dome of the firmament? Doesn't this contradict this websites position that the sun and moon are inside of the dome, above the earth instead?

Flat Earth Investigations / Re: How to make my own Azimuthal equidistant projection from an existing image?

I'm going to spell this out. And I'll do it in baby terms and you can claim I'm patronising you, but then at least we are all on the same page, ...  you get it and your dignity is intact.

A Mercator projection is a cylindrical map. It is called this because it has a 'pac-man' element. You can travel off the left and magically appear on the right of the map. You can't do this North to South. Hence cylindrical.

There is no 'pac-man' element to an azimuthal map.

You want to take the magic properties of a pac-man map and are asking for the maths to turn that into a non-pac-man map.

So you need to first remove the pacman teleportation by joining the two ends into a cylinder. cylindrial projection, right?
Then you need to take the north pole which stretches all the way around the upper surface of the cylinder and form it into a single point. Now you have a cone.
Now you need to stretch the south pole out so as your cone goes flat into a disc.

Best of luck.

I already knew that the mercator projection was a cylindrical map and all that. I was asking if there was any sort of program or tool that could help me or do the steps you were describing there. I tried to do the method you described there before but the program i used for editing the image doesn't work with it.

And i don't feel patronized, i think you probably think i'm dumb because i didn't get across what i was actually asking for properly. Thank you for your help, at the very least.

Hello, i want to make an azimuthal equidistant projection of one of nasas images of the earth (i believe it's a mercator projection). I don't know if i can make an azimuthal equidistant version of that image but if anybody knows how to, that would be great, because i have no idea.

The first thing to know is that it isn't a mercator projection. Its an azimuthal equidistant projection.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

No, i'm talking about an image like this: http://wwtweb.blob.core.windows.net/docs/images/MapOfEarth.jpg

I'm trying to change that (well the one i have is much better quality) into an azimuthal equidistant one

First learn what azimuthal means, then stop using it to describe what you are trying to do. A mercator map isn't azimuthal. It is cylindrical.

goddamit i know. All i'm saying is i want that mercator projection i have to be made into an azimuthal equidistant map centered on the north pole, like the one this very society has. All i'm asking is if there's a way to deform that mercator projection into a similar azimuthal equidistant one as the flat earth society has.

I'm looking to made a 3d model of the flat earth

Would you be amenable to sharing the model? It would be great if we could create derivative works from it.

Okay here we go, just download all the files in this folder and the blend file (the file that actually has the model in it) should work.: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1p0FkUHFPMlMuNTEeCSRvDd1C7IrTwpQH?usp=sharing

Sorry it appears i'm experiencing some issues packing some of the textures into the blend file i'm trying to send. I'll get back to you when i can
