#FLAT EARTH DISK MAP FREE#
The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource. In case you didn't notice, you can click on words in the search results and you'll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. 'We are essentially squashing the globe, as if we had run over it with a steamroller,' Gott told.
That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. This new map, a two-sided flat disk, was created using an entirely different approach again. I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. More recently, this map was adopted by proponents of the flat Earth theory. Its purpose is to project a globe Earth onto a flat surface to use as a two-dimensional map. Early versions of this map date back to the 11th century. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to word converter. Its a type of map originally created and used by globe-earthers, called an azimuthal equidistant projection. It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word.
If it did, it would soon pull the planet back into a spheroid. The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). For Earth to take the shape of a flat disk in the first place, gravity as we know it must be having no effect. For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will return "nostalgia". It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple.
