Measured distances between places fit in with a round earth model.

1002
I'm trying to get over the fact that the distances between places cannot be the same on both types of earth.

Not helped by a lack of a flat earth map...

1003
Inquisitive: Because of basic geometry, you're wrong. Please show otherwise.
Consider a square with 10cm sides.  What is the distance to a point in the middle of the square?

How consider those points to be on a football.  What is the distance to a point equidistant to the 4 points?  A bit longer.

1004
Distances will be different on a round earth and a flat earth.  Round earth distances match reality.
Two out of two claims here are yet to be substantiated. Please hold yourself to at least your own standards.

*ahem*

Details please to explain.
Basic geometry.  Please show otherwise.

Euclidean geometry assumes a planar earth.
Please explain.

Basic geometry between points on flat paper v. spherical object.

Please show otherwise for distances between places.

Where is there a flat earth map with a scale?

1007
Again, direct measured distances.

1008
We are discussing direct measured distances, not travel.

1009
Clearly direct distances are different between 2 places on a flat earth compared with a spherical one.

How about Paris to Honk Kong on a flat earth map compared with the accepted, verified spherical distance.  Based on the fact that nobody disputes spherical distances.

1010
One example please.

Falklands to Australia.
Details please to explain.

1011
Inquisitive, you still have not proved that the distance from the Falklands to Australia is correct on a Round Earth.
What is the distance on a flat earth, please provide a map or diagram?

Are you seriously suggesting that distances proved by flights across the world are wrong? One example please.

1012
Missing the point.  Inquisitive is the one questioning distances at all, not me.
Then why do you keep responding if you don't have any answers?

Are you claiming that the distance between the two would be different on a flat earth than it is on a spherical one? 
If spherical geometry is very different from planar geometry, then why would you expect the distances to be the same?
As the distances would be different and we know exact distances between places that are on a spherical earth it is not possible to draw a flat earth map using verified data.

Falklands to Australia is probably the best example, it is not via the North Pole.

1013
Think about it.

Do you actually know what you're claiming, or are you just trying to run the conversation in circles?
Draw 5 random points on a piece of paper and then on a ball. See if you can get the distances between each one and the others to be the same. Do not put them in a straight line or circle.

1014
Think about it.

1015
If you don't know or don't care, then what right do you have to question the official RE distance?

I didn't.  Inquisitive did.

How do you explain the measured distances between places fitting in with a flat earth?  eg. Falklands to Australia.
Not the way that I read it.  As near as I can tell, Inquisitive is questioning the FET distance from the Falklands to Australia, not the official RET distance.
Correct, what is the FET distance, approximately?

1016
What inquiry should an individual undertake? There is no evidence that round earth distances are wrong.

1017
You say that the distances are indisputable proof, yet you have never gone there, nor have you measured them.  You have been taught that the distances are facts, and so your closed mind doesn't question that.
A metre has been defined, i have a 1m rule.  I am told it is 1km to the supermarket.  I could measure it with my rule if I wanted to.  My car measures 1k.

Google Earth has a distance tool, has any evidence been produced that it is wrong?

Why this obsession of having to do something to prove it, does Peru exist, have you been there?

Measurements could either be accurate or inaccurate.  Do you have any actual numbers to use?  I haven't measured the distance from the Falklands to Australia and I doubt you have.
Distances are available from places such as Google Earth which are accepted as correct as they match reality.  It is possible to travel between those two places without going into the northern hemisphere.

How do you know any distance?  Does Australia really exist?
