RE: A question about flat earth.
I still think it's a good argument, just because theoretically you could swim or fly or boat around all the continents.. How do you swim or fly or boat around the whole world like so many people have claimed to? Are they all liars? Or were they all tricked into thinking they were going around the whole world when they weren't? Doesn't make a lot of sense really.
That doesn't make much sense to me. The world is really big so how would you know you were flying/sailing "around" it when you could just be traveling in a circle.
Flying in a plane or sailing in a boat from destination to destination is not solid proof that Earth is globe.
Compasses point North on both style of Earth.
I realize I said "magnets point North" in the first message. I meant to say compasses point North. And since North would be in the center of the map, traveling east/west would not proof Earth to be flat or a globe.
So you're saying you think it's possible that all these people who have flown around the world numerous times were just confused and lost and didn't realize there was a much bigger world out there? Am I reading that right?
Traveling in a circle IS Traveling around it. God damn, how hard is this for you people understand. It's ALWAYS A CIRCLE, whether it's flat or globe.
I think what apolymask means is, going in a straight line and ending up back where you started. That is going around the world
