Title: Paris to New York
Post by: JohnH. on December 08, 2017, 04:29:04 PM
I was wondering what anyone has to say on how far it is from Paris to New York. I've heard that this is unknown, but a google search says that it is 5,834 Km. Can anyone explain this to me?

The reason there is no official recorded distance is because Paris does not actually exist.  It is a NASA experiment to brainwash people

Ok. Now Paris does not exist... Evidence please.

This came from one of the debate thread: https://forum.tfes.org/index.php?topic=6633.msg121996#msg121996 (https://forum.tfes.org/index.php?topic=6633.msg121996#msg121996)

This thread tried to prove that no Flat Earth map exist by using data from airline flights and using geometry. To use this method, 3DGeek, the original poster of this thread, established credibility to his source and proved it. However, Tom Bishop refused to admit this fact and said this to make this argument invalid.

Do me a favor and don’t do that. Warned.

To restate ghostopia, Euclidean geometry (specifically the law of cosines) proves that no flat map can handle the known distances among New York, Paris, Buenos Aires, and Capetown. Since this is obvious, the only possible argument is to dispute the known distances. A lot of electrons have been burned in a few threads over the purported simplicity or impossibility of measuring the distances. And the thread ghostopia linked (and I have linked in my signature) is the primary source thread.

Nice explanation. I knew my explanation was bad. Thank you for restating it.
