Paris to New York
« 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

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.

Why believe in Flat Earth theory when there is so much evidence supporting Round Earth?

Flat Earth map cannot exist

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.

Thanks to Tom Bishop for his courtesy.

No flat map can predict commercial airline flight times among New York, Paris, Cape Town, & Buenos Aires.

The FAQ Sun animation does not work with sundials. And it has the equinox sun set toward Seattle (well N of NW) at my house in Mesa, AZ.

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