airplane flight Buenas Aires to Sydney
« on: April 26, 2014, 05:05:15 PM »
Using the flat earth map what route does the airplane take to get from Buenas Aires to Sydney? I checked the airlines it takes 16 hours. What is diameter of the earth using the flat theory?

In the 'flat map' that I see on Internet the distance from Buenas Aires to Sydney is about 30.000 km or more.
Then we have a 25 hours flight or more....
Maybe there is something wrong in the map...or Earth is not flat... maybe a Torus?

Please provide a link to this flat Earth map in which you are able to measure distances to such accuracy.  I have never seen one with a scale on it.

In every flat map I have seen Sydney and Buenas Aires are extremely far.
And Sydney and Santiago are at the opposite. Then about 30.000-40.000 km
But we can go beetwen Sydney and Santiago in 12 hours.
Maybe we need some different map.

I still do not understand how you can measure distances, especially to such an accuracy, without a scale.  Are you counting the pixels or something?

Where can we find a real flat map of the earth?
Are there flat maps, with a scale, in the web?

I think that with computers and some time and money FE Society could easily calculate a complete flat map.
Using Atlas and digital maps FES can convert the spheric maps in a flat map.

Does 30,000 to 40,000 kms strike you as a particularly accurate measurement when dealing with the Earth?

And maintain the correct distances between places...

Is "correct" a vague term?  ???

I do believe there is a world-wide value established for the distance between the lines of latitude, which is also constant on that map from the north pole to the south pole.

Rephrasing the original question a bit:

When using the FET, why would an aircraft, flying fom Buenas Aires to Sydney, fly away from Sydney, i.e. fly approximate in the direction of Antarctica? Why don't these flight always end up crashing in the big wall at the 'edges' around the flat earth?

Why would an airplane crash into a wall that is only ~150' tall?

So what is down there for the aircraft to crash into when it is flying at 30,000 feet in the air?

So, you are saying there IS a wall 150' high. Then what is the ground look like behind this wall? And why does a plane reaches its destination nevertheless, although it leaves the earth/universe/boundary/whatever?

Can't someone try to thouroughly answer a question and not just write some sentences leading to nowhere?

Yes.

Like lots of ice.

Are you saying there exists a location on the Earth (other than its underside, I suppose) that *can't* be reached without leaving the Earth?

Just as an FYI, that isn't an ice wall, it's an iceberg.  Namely, iceberg B-15A.

Ah, yes, thank you for presenting the Round Earth perspective in this Flat Earth topic. Personally, I don't see how it's of any value whatsoever (in particular I don't see how it relates to the question of "What does the ground beyond the Ice Wall look like?"), but I'm sure someone out there will appreciate it nonetheless.

Is anyone able to answer my question?

If there is a 'wall' at the edge of the 'flat' earth, why can airplanes go over them, fly along, and finally reach their destination?
