[D66] MetroGarman: 'De Zuivere Nulmeridiaan'

[René Oudeweg]

Garmanbozianen,

* Er is al sinds tijden, en ook door de film de Da Vinci Code, een 
machtstwist ontstaan op de rechtmatige nulmeridiaan. Door Parijs loopt 
de zogenaamde
Paris meridian:

Quote: "In the year 1634, France ruled by Louis XIII and Cardinal 
Richelieu, decided that the Ferro Meridian through the westernmost of 
the Canary Islands should be used as the reference on maps, since El 
Hierro (Ferro) was the most western position of the Ptolemy's world 
map.[3] It was also thought to be exactly 20 degrees west of Paris.[3] 
The astronomers of the French Academy of Sciences, founded in 1666, 
managed to clarify the position of El Hierro relative to the meridian of 
Paris, which gradually supplanted the Ferro meridian.[3] In 1666, Louis 
XIV of France had authorized the building of the Paris Observatory. On 
Midsummer's Day 1667, members of the Academy of Sciences traced the 
future building's outline on a plot outside town near the Port Royal 
abbey, with Paris meridian exactly bisecting the site north–south.[4] 
French cartographers would use it as their prime meridian for more than 
200 years.[3] Old maps from continental Europe often have a common grid 
with Paris degrees at the top and Ferro degrees offset by 20 at the bottom."

* De Paris meridian wordt geassocieerd met occultisme.

* Het Britse Rijk denkt, door zich te projecteren als het middelpunt op 
de wereldkaart, sinds heugenis de rechtmatige nulmeridiaan te hebben 
gedefinieerd.

* De Greenwich meridian is Orwelliaans. "Since 1984, the international 
standard for the Earth's prime meridian is the IERS Reference Meridian. 
Between 1884 and 1984, the meridian of Greenwich was the world standard. 
These meridians are physically very close to each other."

* Is er een alternatieve rechtmatige en 'groene' nulmeridiaan die recht 
doet aan de geometrie van de Aarde?

     -> Ja: De zuivere nulmeridiaan ligt

   ϕ^10 ≈ 1.61803398875^10 ≈ 6.175009° ten Oosten van Greenwich:
