the two celestial poles debunks the flat earth as well

2019-04-21 23:24:26 UTC  

its impossible to sail around the edge of antarctica on the flat earth map by only turning right ?

2019-04-21 23:24:45 UTC  

right, if going west to east

2019-04-21 23:25:04 UTC  

first we'd need to see a useful flat earth map, but no one has produced one

2019-04-21 23:27:09 UTC  

i think if antarctica was sourrounding earth like the flat earth maps have it u could go west and always be turning right

2019-04-21 23:27:27 UTC  

???

2019-04-21 23:27:28 UTC  

how

2019-04-21 23:27:32 UTC  

that would require turning left

2019-04-21 23:27:36 UTC  

if u were going east on flat earth u would have to turn left only

2019-04-21 23:27:51 UTC  

oh i see ya you'reright

2019-04-21 23:27:56 UTC  

yeah

2019-04-21 23:27:58 UTC  

but this route goes west to east and they turn right

2019-04-21 23:28:06 UTC  

ok

2019-04-21 23:28:15 UTC  

west is clockwise

2019-04-21 23:28:20 UTC  

on flat earth right

2019-04-21 23:28:43 UTC  

yes

2019-04-21 23:28:51 UTC  

so ur going around the edge of antarctica the coast is to ur left

2019-04-21 23:29:04 UTC  

u are making right turns the whole time

2019-04-21 23:29:18 UTC  

ur not goin left ucrash into the coast

2019-04-21 23:32:43 UTC  

There technically is no "flat earth map" however.

2019-04-21 23:33:31 UTC  

the general ae map

2019-04-21 23:33:45 UTC  

Why that map?

2019-04-21 23:33:47 UTC  

isnt that what they use

2019-04-21 23:34:01 UTC  

I guess

2019-04-21 23:34:59 UTC  

It is merely a projection tho, not based on actual measurements

2019-04-21 23:37:00 UTC  

yeah

2019-04-21 23:37:24 UTC  

ive heard recently the maps we had in school didnt have the continent sizes based on actual measurements htough

2019-04-21 23:38:58 UTC  

Yeah, because we live on a spheroid supposedly, so all flat euclidean maps are "distorted" to some extent

2019-04-21 23:40:54 UTC  

so teh continent size is accurate on globes

2019-04-21 23:41:25 UTC  

yes it takesa 3d object to represent everything properly

2019-04-21 23:41:42 UTC  

all flat maps are distorted and stretched, which is why antarctica covers teh whole bottom of maps

2019-04-21 23:41:48 UTC  

it's unrolled

2019-04-21 23:42:04 UTC  

Supposed to be. Altho the used coordinate systems are slightly in disagreement, but close

2019-04-21 23:42:13 UTC  

imma have to look into that

2019-04-21 23:43:28 UTC  

so flat earth mape and maps of the globe are both inaccurate thats what we are saying?

2019-04-21 23:43:31 UTC  

notice how GPS and google maps is always accurate

2019-04-21 23:44:25 UTC  

u think google earth is an accurate representation of the globe?

2019-04-21 23:44:25 UTC  

@jeremy Globe earth supposedly very accurate, the used coordinate systems maybe 50 miles off occasionally, idk
