lol... what did u go to college for... at least learn how to construct a sentence that everybody could understand and don't leave any room for misinterpretation. this is the SCIENCE section after all.

[pankie101]

unsa nmn ne?!?! hehe..(apil2x mode)

i understood the thread title okay...
ingon mn xa nga "kadtong PANGEA pa"...
i can assume he must be referring sa continent..
but sa actual post niya...
errr....basin cguro misleading gyud...
kay ana mn xa "middle gyud siya sa earth"...

Simple ra man ni nga problema.

Suppose I gave you a basketball. Then I ask you to mark with a pentel pen where is "pinaka middle nga place sa basketball", where will you place your mark on it, aber?

So again, the proper thread title should have been "pinaka middle nga place sa Pangea", dili sa earth itself, kay as I have repeatedly said, there is no "middle" on the surface of a sphere.

Case closed.

OT..kanang butangan para sa hangin mao na ang center sa ball bai..hehe

back to topic...as of current, the Earth's Prime Meridian is at Greenwich.

Seriously...

as of current, the Earth's Prime Meridian is at Greenwich.

But a meridian is not "center"--it's a line, not a point. A portion of the meridian only crosses Greenwich in England, but the actual meridian itself runs all the way from the north pole to the south pole. It's funny you say that we get back on topic, when you're talking of meridians instead of points.

ok maybe this is the answer:

The westernmost and easternmost points of the world, based on the normal practice of using longitude, can be found anywhere along the 180th meridian in Siberian Russia (including Wrangel Island), Antarctica, or the three islands of Fiji through which the 180th meridian passes (Vanua Levu's eastern peninsula, the middle of Taveuni, and the western part of Rabi.)

Your link is actually informative because it does discuss the concept of "center"...

Since the Earth is a spheroid, its center (the core) is thousands of kilometres beneath its crust. However, one could perhaps consider the intersection of the Equator and Prime Meridian, located at the coordinates of zero degrees by zero, to be the "center" of the standard geographic model (as viewed on a map), though the selection of longitude meridians are culturally and historically dependent, rather than based on geological or geographic reasons.

"as viewed on a map"...refer to my 4th post in this thread, green text.

And I don't know why you're looking for an answer when there is no question.

The issue here is similar to this:

In space, there is no up or down, left or right, north or south, east or west...then, we are inside a spacecraft in a free-return trajectory towards the moon...and then I ask you to tell me, the direction towards the moon, and then you say "upwards"...see? Sayop! How can you say "upwards" when in fact, wala lagi up, down, left, right, etc. sa space? Pareha ra ni nga isyu sa kaning concept of "middle of the earth".

then unsa diay if "middle" or "Center" or maybe "ground zero" lol sila sauna? whats the catch sa show?

The catch is simple--it's all about a coincidence. Nothing more.

It's like saying something this:

I picked up a rock on a beach in Malapascua. Incidentally, that rock originally came from LAT 06, LONG 12, and due to forces acting up on our islands (i.e. continental drift, land bridges, movement of the tides, currents etc), it ended up on this beach. So this must be a significant rock because I was born on June 12 (06/12)!

It's totally the same thing--it's only a coincidence that, at some point in time, in the distant past, when the continents were all mashed up into one supercontinent named Pangea, the crust of the earth surrounding what is present-day New York City, was at that location (LAT 0, LONG 0), but it does it MEAN anything? Wala. It might mean something to you, esp. if you live in New York city, but as to other relevances? Wala.
