The utility of such a computating map will be obvious, not only to the school child but for an adult or oflicial person. Goldhaber-Gordon said GPS is “based on not only an (approximately) spherical earth but also the special and general theories of relativity” that “would make no sense in any flat earth picture,” which is why anyone using GPS is relying on the roundness of the earth.

A projection of a person on a page is also flat (see Jeff Brown’s ‘Flat Stanley’ character), but people aren’t flat,” Bennett said.All of my maps are well packaged and sent in a rugged tube if unframed, or surrounded by foam if framed. This was a modern-day flat-Earth theory according to which the Earth is a circular plane centered on the North Pole and bounded by ice, with the sun, planets and stars in motion only a few thousand miles above its surface. The periphery, G, of the circle being divided into divisions, D, which represent the minutes in twenty four hours; (for this purpose it would take fourteen hundred and forty of these divisions,) I have shown but half of this number in the drawings because the whole number would bring the lines too near together for showing them clearly. These maps can vary in size by a few millimetres, and it's very frustrating if they don't fit into your frame! For present-day believers in the flat earth theory, the fact that this map exists in the holdings of a prestigious and historic public library offers a whiff of conspiracy: why would we have a map that shows a flat earth “as it is”?

On page 350, he mentions “a new map of the world as it is” and says, “it contains all the continents and principal islands and rivers of the world, also, all the principal cities of the earth. If you are taking your map to a local framer, they will measure the map for you and then make the frame to fit.

From the map’s patent, we know the author was aware and in full knowledge that the map was just a projection of the spherical Earth, contradictory to the claims in his book. I have been unable to learn anything else about his training or profession, though apparently he found little in the way of lasting success. In the centerof the mapis an eyelet, c, and into the opening (through the eyelet, c),isput the lower end, d, of the pin, a, so that these indicating arms have two movements, amovement one on the other and one or both together around the center of the map, and may be detached at pleasure from the map if so desired, and are also made easily removable by simply lifting the pin, d, out of the eyelet c.

There he marshals Scripture, quirky interpretations of physical science, shoddy observation, and dollops of “common sense” to argue that the Earth is flat, stationary and the center of the cosmos. This object also tells an interesting modern tale about the role of institutions in constructing the truth.MUSEUM QUALITY INKS AND PAPER: Printed on thick 192gsm heavyweight matte paper with archival giclee inks, this historic fine art will decorate your wall for years to come.
