Hey Y'all,

Anyone here watch the TV show 'Long Way Round'? A TV show where two people go around the world from London to New York the wrong way. How would this be possible on a flat Earth?

They traveled turnwise.

Timothy,

           The only flat earth model which can best describe what is happening here is that the earth is an infinitely repeating flat plane.

They traveled turnwise.

Tom,

          That flat earth model does not measure up to measured travel distances.

[Dr Van Nostrand]

Yes, an east to west course on the flat earth works like it would on a round earth.

However, distances in the Southern Hemisphere of the flat earth are wrong by a couple of orders of magnitude. This issue is ignored in the wiki. I don't presume to speak for flat earthers but I think they say that our measurement of distances is flawed in the way they are measured or our perceptions of those distances are flawed.
