Why does Nathan Oakley say the globe needs a flat Earth? The author of Measured Flat: All Roads Lead to Flat Earth joins Chance Garton on InnerVerse to explore his argument that the globe model depends on fundamental flat measurements. What does an elevation angle actually measure? Why do you level a compass, and why are north and up different directions? Nathan connects these questions to celestial navigation, sextants, Polaris, and the distinction between observation, calculation, and scientific experimentation.
This conversation follows Nathan’s critique of globe geometry into mapping, Earth’s magnetism, and explanations of its interior. Along the way, we examine the language of scientific authority, the mental effort of following increasingly complicated explanations, and what happens when an answer sounds convincing without becoming understandable.
How do we distinguish something we can measure from something a model asks us to assume?
