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.
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?
The maps are accurate enough and the maps are flat the same as the earth you travel on.
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?
Do your own research, as flatter always said that.
Look, the greenland island on a 2D earth map, pick it up then compare to the Africa continel. It's about the same size, right? Actually, no. Africa is much much bigger than Greenland. It's because the Google map 2d model trade off the size to correct the direction. You cant have size and direction always correct when trasfer 3d to 2d. You have to trade off. Either size or direction. Keep learning.
