Too late I already claimed it
No, itโs mine
Flags in ice wall
It's mine
๐
claim the space
if there's space
I claim existence
Ha!

Not trying to be awkward but the ice wall don't exist ,it only exists on a ae map as a planisphere, the ice wall is actually a continent ,all as one ,the way it's presented on the ae map is because they have squashed the spherical map and put it on a flat one ,they squash down the north pole and turn antartica inside out from the middle which turns antartica into a ice wall ,it don't actually exist
That's why it distorts down south
You have to apply maths to use it ,you have to calculate the distortion ,you an use it to navigate but you need to apply maths ,that was the only reason that map was invented
It was never a flat earth map
People who say it is are lying or disinformed
Or misinformed
Rather
I think most FEers admit that map isn't a *true* representation of flat earth, just that it mostly likely comes the closest? At least, I've heard that from some.
It's certainly used as gospel, though, from some.
You won't be able to create a working flat earth map without distortion period
You can however flip it all inside out and turn it concave
That works
Yeah, you can't make a 2D map of the globe without distortion, *period*.
Instead of squashing the spherical map to a flat earth map ,for concave just peel away the outside of the sphere to make it flat
Works just the same
Like peeling a orange ,but no orange in it
My fav is claiming flight paths don't make sense on the Mercator map. Yes, of course. Because it's a heavily distorted representation of the globe.
I have a animation of the actual transition if anyone wants to see
From spherical to flat ae

He squashes it
So you can see
My question is why go to such effort to promote a map that don't work, why is there so many flat earth youtube channels etc
I don't think it's just to have a laugh or to test people or whatever
I suspect it's hiding concave earth tbh
Invert it all
It actually works
3 possible models
