Flat Earth Theory / Distances on the Flat Earth Model
« on: April 10, 2019, 05:19:43 AM »
I meant to post in this subforum originally. If the Earth is flat, why is the distance from my house to the nearest Walmart 1392 meters instead of the 1530 meters you would expect on flat earth with an azimuthal equidistant projection given the coordinates of my house and the nearest Walmart? D_f is the flat earth distance, D_fs is the "square" flat earth distance, and D_r is the round earth distance. https://www.desmos.com/calculator/0lftnuqmz0 Calculation for flat earth map distance: http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.asp?page=Distances+on+Globe+and+Flat+Earth
