You are the ones running this show, the ball is in your court. I have no interest in convincing you. I'm here respectfully to learn about your stand points. But it seems this is what everyone says, just a waste of time.
That is my emphirical appreciation. I hope someone else comes to clarify my queries.
Hello Scorer, welcome to TFES.
In short, it depends on who you ask. There are a few different flat earth maps on the wiki, but as with any map, none are exact, in part because we're not cartographers. I don't think one needs to have scores of figures to prove a flat earth - simple observation does that. Facts and figured can be flawed. I do have some calculations I'm working on dealing with the way light works, but as far as geography (particularly in the southern hemidisc where distances are so hotly contested) I'm admittedly not an expert. However, blindly using data based upon how far something *should* be on a spherical earth (like a recent discussion on air routes from Australia to the Falklands - a route which only exists in theory, as no planes actually fly it) is fallacy, and around here we tend to emphasize observational evidence over Google-powered research.
So, if Earth is indeed flat and it is a disc, how do the edges work? How is it possible to travel from certain points which would be near the edges in less time? For me and my bare eyes evidence (as you so much praise) this would indicate a spheric world instead of a flat one.
Thanks
As for edges, I strongly suspect that there are no edges at all and that the earth is an infinite plane that it loops back onto itself, but that's purely theoretical on my part. This model, however, doesn't suffer from the same distance related problems that the monopolar disc does. Even still, evidence that those distance problems even exist is highly debatable.
