      Nothing. The swastika is a sun symbol. You know, meaning changes depending on context. Like if I said right now that you're a smart, well read person, you'd obviously (and rightfully) detect the sarcasm. But if I just said that without the preceding sentences, or this latter sentence explaining something quite obvious, thus further insulting your intelligence, you'd think I praised you.

      If we consider the Earth as a FLAT plane and want to create a deceptive map that represents a globe, a commonly used technique is the azimuthal equidistant projection. This projection preserves accurate distances from a central point and projects the Earth's surface onto a flat plane. And it is100% possible.
      -- To create a deceptive globe map using the azimuthal equidistant projection, follow these steps:
      1. Select a central point: Determine the point on the Earth's surface that will be the center of your map. This could be a specific location or a point of interest.
      2. Place the globe on the flat plane: Position the globe on the flat plane with the chosen central point aligned with the center of the flat map.
      3. Draw concentric circles: Draw concentric circles around the central point on the flat plane. Each circle represents a specific distance from the center and can be used to represent latitude lines.
      4. Divide the circles into sections: Divide the circles into equal sections to represent longitude lines. The number of sections will depend on the level of detail you want to include.
      5. Project the points: Take points on the globe's surface and project them onto the corresponding positions on the flat map. This projection should maintain the correct distances and directions from the central point.
      6. Connect the projected points: Connect the projected points with lines to represent coastlines, borders, or any other features you want to include.
      So which version to believe now.. Flat or Globe? Or both are deceptive models! Hmmm!

      @@infernogaming4671 Never be so confident. Confidence is like believe or disbelieve without knowledge, not good.
      I can provide you with an example that maintains accurate distances while still being visually deceptive. 😉
      Here's an approach you can try:
      1. Select a specific area: Choose a small region on the map that you want to represent deceptively.
      2. Use an equal-area projection: Select an equal-area projection such as the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area Projection or the Eckert IV Projection. These projections preserve the relative sizes of areas accurately, minimizing size distortions.
      3. Adjust the shapes: Manipulate the shapes of land masses within the chosen region to create a visually deceptive effect. For example, you can stretch or compress certain areas to create the desired visual impact.
      4. Preserve distances: While adjusting the shapes, ensure that the distances within the chosen region remain accurate. This can be achieved by maintaining consistent distances between key landmarks or reference points.

    TEN Rules of flerfing :
    1) Strawman the globe model in a desperate bid to manufacture a "gotcha".
    2) NEVER, under any circumstances, talk about your positive claim that the earth is FLAT.
    3) If pushed to do the above, pretend that you "claim nothing".
    4) Learn to articulate the sounds “nu” and “huh” together in quick succession and use it whenever you need to deny reality (i.e, often).
    5) Pre-emptively reject the answers to every question you ask.
    6) Cherry pick parts of quotes that you think might help you, whilst pretending the rest never happened.
    7) Perform a ‘flerf reset’ every morning, conveniently forgetting everything that was said to you the previous day.
    8) Ignore the fact that, despite more than 10 years of social media flerfing, flat earth has advanced about as far as an asthmatic Ant with particularly heavy shopping.
    9) Lie.
    10) Lie more.

    You just take that cylinder and close it off at the top and bottom - shrinking the distances more and more towards each end (pole) to correct for the Mercator projection.
    It's important that the scrunching together of the top & bottom (North & South Poles) be done so that the sides meet at those two points smoothly, sp it's flat where they meet.
    As a rule of thumb, keep the distance to the center of the cylinder (at a point halfway between North and South Poles) equal (±0.001%) at all points on the surface.
    And voilà: a working flat earth model!
    Of course, it's only flat, roughly, on small scales (distances under a kilometer), but it does explain *all* the phenomena you've described in your videos!

That is, if you took a camera that had manual settings, and put those settings where they need to be for daytime pictures (like they would have done on the bright surface of the Moon), and then took a picture of the sky on the darkest nights full of stars that you can see with your naked eye, the ppicture you end up with would have no stars in it -- or possibly only a couple of the brightest -- even though the sky was full of stars when you looked with your eyes.

    I always get a kick out of flerfs coming up with all sorts of models that don't work when you examine them more closely, and that disagree and contradict each other. Some of them talk about everything being geocentric, but then they want to ignore what one of the biggest advocates of geocentrism, Ptolemy, stated about the earth. Here is a translation of what Ptolemy thousands of years ago stated about the earth (and you'll see why they want to ignore it):
    4. That Also the Earth, Taken as A Whole, is Sensibly Spherical
    Now, that also the earth taken as a whole is sensibly spherical, we could most likely think out in this way. For again it is possible to see that the sun and moon and the other stars do not rise and set at the same time for every observer on the earth, but always earlier for those living towards the orient and later for those living towards the occident. For we find that the phenomena of eclipses taking place at the same time, especially those of the moon, are not recorded at the same hours for everyone―that is, relatively to equal intervals of time from noon; but we always find later hours recorded for observers towards the orient than for those towards the occident. And since the differences in the hours is found to be proportional to the distances between the places, one would reasonably suppose the surface of the earth spherical, with the result that the general uniformity of curvature would assure every part's covering those following it proportionately. But this would not happen if the figure were any other, as can be seen from the following considerations.
    For, if it were concave, the rising stars would appear first to people towards the occident; and if it were flat, the stars would rise and set for all people together and at the same time; and if it were a pyramid, a cube, or any other polygonal figure, they would again appear at the same time for all observers on the same straight line. But none of these things appears to happen. It is further clear that it could not be cylindrical with the curved surface turned to the risings and settings and the plane bases to the poles of the universe, which some think more plausible. For then never would any of the stars be always visible to any of the inhabitants of the curved surface, but either all the stars would both rise and set for observers or the same stars for an equal distance from either of the poles would always be invisible to all observers. Yet the more we advance towards the north pole, the more the southern stars are hidden and the northern stars appear. So it is clear that here the curvature of the earth covering parts uniformly in oblique directions proves its spherical form on every side. Again, whenever we sail towards mountains or any high places from whatever angle and in whatever direction, we see their bulk little by little increasing as if they were arising from the sea, whereas before they seemed submerged because of the curvature of the water's surface.
    (Ptolemy, Almagest, Book 1, chapter 4.)

      It's because Flat Earthers don't actually care about facts. Facts are subservient to what they see as "Truth" AKA the Bibical creation story. To them, facts and mathematics are simply things that can be manipulated, used, fabricated, and thrown away without a second thought. The end justifies the means. Which is why you never encounter honest Flat Earthers, why they seem so impervious to reason, and why they will happily use syncretic beliefs (ancient aliens, pseudo-ancient religions, etc.) that further their agenda. They're also obsessed with Armageddon. The Flat Earth movement is effectively a Doomsday cult.

    well, obviously the automatic return teleporter at the northern and southern rim are programmed to return you to a different point on the northern and southern rim. and there is a spacewarp system in place that allows planes to fly faster the further north or south they are, so the great circle takes advantage of that. and the star dome to the north and south are rotating in different directions, and have cutoff baffles to prevent them being visible from the other side of the equator. I know it takes a lot of work to make a system like that, but it's important to be able to maintain the fiction the earth is an oblate spheroid rotating with a 15 degree per hour drift (RIP Bob)

    The 4d model is basically right. It just needs two minor corrections:
    First, it's not in some inaccessible fourth dimension. We can clearly move around the earth. Whatever dimensions the earth curves through are the same ones we're walking through. It's in conventional 3d space.
    Second, the fact that crossing the north pole on one side brings you to the north pole on the other and same for the south pole can easily be explained by shrinking the circles at the ends of the cylinder to a point.
    The cylinder in four dimensions is almost right, but it's actually a sphere in three dimensions.

    Yeah, I was thinking about the cylindrical model in that video with the guy claiming the Mercator map had accurate distances. Of course, the another issue of the Mercator map is that it doesn't allow for continuous travel. So I figured, to get that, you have to make it cylindrical. At least, E/W. Still doesn't account for N/S. Of course, if you now curve in in the N/S direction to handle that, you'd have a good working model. And a sphere.
    Consider how loopy flerfers need to be if you have to propose that the world is 4 dimensional to stick to your flat earth model. Darn, you are almost there!

This explains the positive curvature of the "Earth", and why spherical trigonometry works (i.e. all triangles have sum above π radians). We are stuck at the "outer", positive curvature, area. But that's only half the picture. Beyond the barriers lie the *NEGATIVE* curvature areas, where the Geometry becomes Hyperbolic. There, any triangle has angle sum less than π radians and our perception of reality breaks down. It's where our hyperbolic geometry counterparts live...

If the camera is tilted down a bit to exclude the sky, the grass and the front door with the notice are completely visible.

    2:20 It is actually quite possible that his use of the swastika was not intended to have anything to do with the Nazi party at all, but actually was based on its (much more ancient) spiritual meaning in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Indian religions. This (religious) swastika has often been associated with the north pole and/or the universe in general, so it would potentially actually make some sense here, if they were trying to represent some "grand spiritual meaning" to everything, etc.

      Nope, the black sun is a symbol (the same one showed in the video) based on a mosaic that the head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler, built in a German castle during the war. Later, a former SS officer invented the concept of the "black sun" based on this mosaic. It has been used as a nazi symbol in place of the swastika as the black sun is less well known. Also, the swastika drawn in the video is the nazi version, which is the inverted religious swastika. That dude's just a nazi.

    The best thing ever would be for a Flat Earther who is skilled in 3D software to try and devise a model of the Flat Earth that solves all of the issues a Flat Earth would have and then the final model turns out to be a sphere. I can't begin to express how much joy a video like that would give me.

  • @RalfSteffens
    @RalfSteffens Год назад +2

    The second model is almost correct - 10:30 "3 dimensions folded into the 4th dimension", but inscientific in that it is too complicated. (Occam's razor)
    I applied sophisticated mathematical methods to project the flat (2-dimensional) surface of Earth into the 3rd dimension. Thus I obtained a model I subjected to various physical tests applying rigorous mathematics.
    My model of a (local) flat earth surface passed all these tests (astronomical, physical etc.).
    Unfortunately, most Flat Earthers are not yet ready for this model.

      Left and right is realitiv directions ,there are actually places where people dont refer to left and right in there language, instead n s e w.
      When we agree on which side on the road you drive on , we also need to agree on that the front direction is the reference direction. On a ship starboard and portside is always referred
      To the direction forward.
      To facilitate a commen reference for observations you then use the ship as a compass, this to be able to swiftly report observations from the lookout (traditionally stationed on the bow )to the helmsman/ bridge (Trad in the aft)
      The colours of ship channel markings, follow the jalla a or jalla b standard. These standards regulate if red marker is portside or starboard. Depending on if you sail to a port our from port.
      So this right left ting is a bit confusing, and people may very well give false directions. and need to clarify (your /mine left/right. In absolut coordinate system like.
      N
      E + w
      S
      Or degrees 0- 360 (or 0- 300)
      There are no need to specify.
      "To my south "
      Or "my 165°"

    While watching the video, a rather interesting thought came to my mind: what is the moon for the inhabitants of the flat earth?
    In our spherical world where there is space and stuff, the moon is just a piece of rock that the planet is holding on to by gravity.
    In the world of flat earth above us, for some reason, 2 celestial objects are spinning: the sun and the moon. The sun has meaning, at least it shines. But what is the moon doing here? And where did the sun and moon come from?
    So many questions...

    TBH the BEST "map" I saw was that the one where the northern hemisphere took the full top of the plate, the equator would be the edge, and the southern would be the full bottom of the plate with both the polar regions being in the middle of the plate faces. The plate would still have the continents that wrap around due to being at the equator would still do that... The sun would rotate around the plate at roughly a 23 degree tilt. Of course this is best viewed when the plate is blown up with air from one of the poles....

    Back when I was a kid in the 90s playing JRPGs on the SNES, I was fascinated by the geometry of the square world map that connects both north to south and east to west. It seems so similar to what happens on the real earth, but it's also so different. For a while kid me thought of it as still a sphere, with one pole in the center of the map, and the other in the center of one of the edges. But that doesn't work.
    The classic JRPG map is, in fact, a torus (sort of). Think of yourself on the surface of a donut. If you walk around the circumference, you will eventually come back to where you started. And the same is true for walking perpendicular to that direction. The problem is, as usual, projection. The "inner" surface (adjacent to the hole) has much less surface area than the outer surface. And you don't change speed as you move around the map, so we can be certain that there really is no projection error in the map we see.
    So we have to take that torus, and squash it until it's a ribbon that is infinitely thin. Now our inner and outer diameter are equal, eliminating the projection error. Of course now the world is truly two dimensional, which is incompatible with the general observations made in the games. Even if the game is presented in two dimensions, the world is clearly three dimensions as characters routinely do things like wear clothes, eat and move over things.
    You see, it's easy to come up with a model if you just ignore some observations. Ignore the consistent distances and a torus works fine. Ignore the need for a third dimension and a ribbon works fine. Ignore the southern hemisphere and flat earth....no, wait it still doesn't work. But it is at least somewhat less _obviously_ stupid.

It's that none of them have a single model they all agree with. Why? Because every single flat earth model has huge flaws on it that can only be ignored by those who are too embarassed to admit they believed some top-class nonsense.
    A reminder to any such person reading this: It really is not a big deal to admit you're wrong or that you have been mislead. Doing that makes anyone a boring every-person like most people.
