Flat Earth Community / a question I am puzzling over
« on: March 20, 2015, 05:01:20 PM »
Hi all,
If we look at the ball earth model we are told that the earth's circumference is 40,075 km and that the distance between Santiago Chile and Sydney Australia is 11,339 km --- ignoring date lines and "daylight savings times" etc shouldn’t their local times be closer together? The distance between them is about 1/4th the circumference of the earth so shouldn't the time difference be about 6 hours rather than the 12 hour difference we see ?
