Actually you get bigger the closer you get to the poles and smaller the closer you get to the equator. That's why Greenland looks so much bigger than Africa on the map. If you measure it locally it's not, but that's because you've gotten larger.

Once you reach 90° latitude you've got a problem though as you'll expand to infinite size, it's unknown exactly what would occur if someone were to do this, they'd likely collapse into a singularly, but since the distance between 89° and 90° latitude is also infinite it would take an infinite amount of time for someone to actually reach either pole so we are safe from the Mercator effect.

your ability to bullshit is not interesting to me

Science may seem like bullshit to the uneducated mind but the true thinkers among us know that you can't make bullshit without cows.

actually you'd need bulls.. if you wanted bull shit

that type of lack of attention to detail has lead modern science into a 70% un-reproducibility problem ..

science is bullshit when lead by big pharma, big gov, and other interests that .. literally have our worst interest in mind

it is scientific to take real world evidence and compare it to what we are told

it is unscientific to ignore the results that negate previous theories

tesla said ether exists, and thru it instantaneous transmission was possible

einstein said light was fastest thing, destroying tesla's ether

then quantum mechanics arrived. quantum entanglement proves faster than light transmission is possible.

hence einstein was wrong, the ether does exist

yet we still pretend, and use equations, and project.. using bullshit equations that we force to fit our preconceived ideas about how it should work (based upon theory) ..

that is not science.. science says you propose an idea then prove it .

not propose a theory then force reality into it

and that, we have done.. with much creative imagination.. that many love.

enjoy the fantasy. it all is

Can't make bullshit without bulls. Can't make bulls without cows, can't make cows without bulls, and that ain't no bull.
