Flat Earth Theory / Re: Questions about navigation and maps
« on: June 19, 2018, 05:49:51 PM »I've actively been researching the flat earth idea for a while now. I've found many compelling flat earth points regarding everything from sunsets to seismic waves.The maps are accurate enough and the maps are flat the same as the earth you travel on.
I can honestly say that there are many good points, or at the very least things worth discussing, brought up by many of the flat earth models that I've encountered.
I have not yet found a flat earth response to how we are able to navigate and travel on this earth. I'm hoping I can get a response.
1. If no accurate map of the earth exists how am I able to accurately travel long distances on a consistent basis using a map?2. If i'm able to use a map to accurately travel long distances all over the world would that not make my map accurate?It would make the map accurate enough and the map is flat the same as the earth you travel on.3. If we don't have an accurate map of the earth (and don't know the distances between far cities) how are ships and planes able to navigate long distances?We have maps that are accurate enough and those maps are flat the same as the earth you travel on.
These questions really?
There is no flat earth map that is accepted, (apparently)
Any of the ones I have seen are definitely not accurate enough for even general ocean navigation, so they are not accurate enough.
Charts used for navigation are Mercator projection charts based on the global earth.
