A place would have to first exist before I could visit it.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: FE Theory: Formal Development (Part I)

Really liking this thread!  Does anyone have a model of how the atmolayer works?  All I can find is vague notions of the atmolayer being a fog that occludes things at a long distance.  Do we have an estimate for the thickness of this fog or when things should stop appearing?

That's exactly what an actor would say.

Thanks QED!  Yes, the simulation is going to allow you to adjust date/time values and see where the sun and moon are located based on that.  It's exactly intended to measure what you're asking.

Is there at least an estimated distance range for the Moon & Sun?  We can tell the 3D software to render a point light for the sun and a sphere for the moon wherever we'd like, just need a number or range of numbers to give the software.

Flat Earth Theory / Flat Earth Computer Model

Hello Everyone,

Just signed up because I'm having trouble finding solid numbers for the distances in the Flat Earth model.  I'm trying to build a computer simulation of the Flat Earth to better understand how it works. Using WebGL and Javascript so others can play with it when I'm finished.

This seems to be the agreed upon map (if it's not, please correct me):


Some questions to help me with the model:
- How high is the sun and moon from the surface?
- What is the diameter of this map?

I'm also hoping to put a projection of the stars above the surface to help figure out how the stars move, I'm assuming the geometry based on something like this:



I can easily just paste the current starfield of any particular day onto the dome, the problem happens when I try to morph the starfield according to observations.  The northern latitudes are very easy, but I can't figure out how to map the southern latitudes correctly. Any help would be appreciated.
