the two celestial poles debunks the flat earth as well
its impossible to sail around the edge of antarctica on the flat earth map by only turning right ?
right, if going west to east
first we'd need to see a useful flat earth map, but no one has produced one
i think if antarctica was sourrounding earth like the flat earth maps have it u could go west and always be turning right
???
how
that would require turning left
if u were going east on flat earth u would have to turn left only
oh i see ya you'reright
yeah
but this route goes west to east and they turn right
ok
west is clockwise
on flat earth right
yes
so ur going around the edge of antarctica the coast is to ur left
u are making right turns the whole time
ur not goin left ucrash into the coast
There technically is no "flat earth map" however.
the general ae map
Why that map?
isnt that what they use
I guess
It is merely a projection tho, not based on actual measurements
yeah
ive heard recently the maps we had in school didnt have the continent sizes based on actual measurements htough
Yeah, because we live on a spheroid supposedly, so all flat euclidean maps are "distorted" to some extent
so teh continent size is accurate on globes
yes it takesa 3d object to represent everything properly
all flat maps are distorted and stretched, which is why antarctica covers teh whole bottom of maps
it's unrolled
Supposed to be. Altho the used coordinate systems are slightly in disagreement, but close
imma have to look into that
so flat earth mape and maps of the globe are both inaccurate thats what we are saying?
notice how GPS and google maps is always accurate
u think google earth is an accurate representation of the globe?
@jeremy Globe earth supposedly very accurate, the used coordinate systems maybe 50 miles off occasionally, idk
