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

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?
Please explain.Basic geometry. Please show otherwise.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.
Euclidean geometry assumes a planar earth.
Basic geometry between points on flat paper v. spherical object.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.

Details please to explain.One example please.
Falklands to Australia.
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?
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.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?QuoteAre 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?
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.Think about it.
Do you actually know what you're claiming, or are you just trying to run the conversation in circles?
Correct, what is the FET distance, approximately?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.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.
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.
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 explain the measured distances between places fitting in with a flat earth? eg. Falklands to Australia.
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.
