Flat Earth Theory / Re: Complete Circumnavigation
« on: August 07, 2017, 05:12:45 AM »Hey flat-earthers,
If you believe that the earth is flat, how come when you travel around the world, you get back to your take-off point instead of falling off the edge?
Do you understand how circumnavigation works?Don't be surprised by the lack of response to this question. They have to venture way outside of their BS comfort zones in order to be able to provide any kind of response, and the time it takes to carefully word this kind of bullshit just isn't worth it for them.Do you understand how circumnavigation works?
You go around in circles on a flat earth. You go around the globe on straight lines.You set your course on the globe and stay on it. You would be continually turning on a flat earth.
No, traveling east or west on a globe you are still constantly turning. Except right on the Equator.
No.
You have it backwards.
It is following a straight line course from port to port, using civilian and/or military oceanic navigation as an example.
No matter if it is east to west, north to south or any direction in between, such as north-east to south-west .
Just take a string and stretch it from San Diego to Honolulu on a globe as an example.
It is a straight line.
I suggest if you don't take this as the fact, ask some shipping company official or someone in the Navy if they go on a straight line course or go aound in a circle to and/or from San Diego to Honolulu.
There is a scene in the 1958 movie "A Night To Remember" where Second Officer Lightoller looks at the compass and tells the Quartermaster to "Stay on course QM ." He doesn't say "Keep on turning in a circle, QM." He is referring to the straight line course set for RMS Titanic at that time in the crossing . (266 Degrees True) It is that way in reality.
Do you even have a flat earth map to prove how it would be IF the earth was flat ?
Not to defend FE but if the Earth were flat and in a rough North Azimuthal layout, I doubt rudders are sensitive enough to detect the minor deflection away from centerline except in close proximity to the poles.
