RE: A question about flat earth.
Hmm, that's not a good argument.
I could respond by simply saying you appear to be shying away from a little creative thinking. I could come up with a handful of possibilities as to why no one finds an "edge". None would matter since I do not know for sure.
Based on the flat earth map, all compasses would point to the North pole located in the center of the map. So you could travel east/west and make it back to where you started.
However, if you were to travel north/south and made it back to where you started, this would prove that Earth is not flat. Or, it would mean that you enter into some sort of portal that brings you back to where you started. lol
If only regular people were able to fly north/south. One would assume that with technology advancing rapidly it would be possible in the very near future. If it is not, then flat earthers are gonna be all over that.
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
