Yes, flat earthers do seem to place a lot of emphasis and priority on scientific methods and, in particular, on observable facts. There was also a lot of team-building, networking, debating, workshops – and scientific experiments. It was well attended, and wasn’t just three days of speeches and YouTube clips (though, granted, there was a lot of this). Some depict the Earth in different map projections and clearly show that the Earth is a sphere.Speakers recently flew in from around (or perhaps, across?) the earth for a three-day event held in Birmingham: the UK’s first ever public Flat Earth Convention. When the United Nations first created its logo, there are several candidates to choose from. The United Nations decided to use the azimuthal equidistant map centered as the North Pole as their emblem, which is not the so-called “flat-Earth map” but having the same shape.įlat-Earthers cannot understand that the azimuthal equidistant map is different from the “flat-Earth map” and incorrectly claim the UN uses the “flat-Earth map” as their emblem. The real azimuthal equidistant map is just a projection of the spherical Earth on a 2D medium, while the so-called “flat-Earth map” is a scaled-down version of the purported “flat-Earth” and claimed to be distortion-free.Īs a result, both the azimuthal equidistant map and the so-called “flat-Earth map” are identical in shape and only in shape, but not in their usage and characteristics. Some flat-Earthers noticed an azimuthal equidistant map centered on the North Pole and stole it as the shape of their own “flat-Earth map.” Unlike the map they are stealing from, the so-called “flat-Earth map” is not valid. The azimuthal equidistant map is a perfectly valid map of the spherical Earth, and it is used for many purposes if the task at hand calls for it. Flat-Earthers wrongly claim that the UN uses the so-called “flat-Earth map” in their emblem and use it as “evidence” that the UN “knows Earth is flat.” The flag and emblem of the United Nations is a map of the world in the azimuthal projection centered on the North Pole.
