Hello,

I'm new to the forums but have gotten really interested in FET. I'm particularly interested in Antarctica. I figured if Antarctica can be disproved, then I figured FET can be more credible. I researched to see if anyone has gone across it and came upon this article (FIGURE A): https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/11/151109-south-pole-antarctic-explorers-shackleton-expedition/ Unfortunately, he died supposedly following this route: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/25/explorer-henry-worsley-dies-during-antarctic-record-attempt.

If you look at a standard FE map:


If there was a outer ring wall wouldn't those two points be really far from each other and there would be no way he could of walked those distance?

I want to explore Flat Earth Theory more but I seem to be stuck at this point. Am I missing something?

Thanks

No, I don’t think you’re missing anything.  The existence and the known dimensions of Antarctica are a real problem for the map you’ve included in your post.  One attempted solution is the so-called bi-polar map.

Of course, that model has even more problems.

Interesting, So there is no clear FET map as of yet that can account for everything? The bi-polar map seems to make it even more confusing and doesn't make any sense. A lot of things in FET makes sense, but everytime I try to explain Antarctica to myself, I'm just having a hard time.

Is there anyone else out there that can help explain Antarctica more clearly? FET has been on my mind a lot these days, but my questions keep circling back to "What about Antarctica?"

Thanks

Watcha Stonebreaka!

When it's Antarctica that keeps drawing you back I have to ask what about sunsets/sunrises/moon phases/lack of map/space travel and associated photo's/GPS and other satellite functions (including Google maps showing the Round earth map) because if you have Flat earth answers for these issues you'll be the only poster on this site who does 

You're right about Antarctica though, it makes no sense

I am a former NASA employee. My job was overwatch on grid 13A of the antarctic ice shelf. I can attest to the round earth conspiracy being true. The earth is flat.

Of course Im BSing here....but in all seriousness...there are piles and piles of verifiable data to prove the earth is round, yet, somehow, the FEs do not even have a map or any sort of peer reviewed evidence and they still stick to this claim.

That being said, there is a simple way to prove the FE theory....get on a boat to antarctica and wall to the edge of the earth...right? Or, if there are guards from NASA someone go get me some video of nasa employees guarding the edge of the world. The absolute level of delusion going on here is actually scary to think that my fellow humans could believe such an absurd conapiracy theory. I mean, you guys dont even have a map

[stonebreaka]

Yeah, I can see your guy's point now. I kinda wanted to believe in the FET, the thought of another world just beyond the bottom of the world has really peaked my curiosity like the Jules Verne books, but it seems to be just be another fairy tale just so many other exploration tales out there...

It was a fun theory to explore for a good while, until one of you guys shot it down, didn't have anyone to ask about this until now, but I guess the safe bet is to go with the RErs lol

Easy test to disprove standard FE map is to consider direct flight from Joburg, South Africa and either Sydney or Perth, Australia. Flights are as cheap as $500, so it isn't hard to prove to yourself. The flight Johannesburg to Sydney takes ~12 hr and covers ~11,000 km (according to round earth) for an average speed of about 900 km/hr. Flight from Johannesburg to Perth takes about 10 hr and covers ~8,300 km, for an average speed of about 850 km/hr. These are all expected airliners speeds, well within specs. If you use FE theory, the shortest distance from Joburg to Sydney is 23,650 km, which would give average speed of around 2,000 km/hr, which we all know is impossible for passenger airliner, since it is well above the speed of sound and would require completely different design (e.g., Concorde or Tupolev 144), none of which operates today. Flight from Joburg to Perth according to FE theory would cover at least 18,350 km, for an average speed of 1,835 km/hr. Again, an impossibility.

You can check distances using basic trigonometry.

Yeah I saw the youtube video on that. FET is pretty much 100% debunked for me now lol. So is FET some sort of cult following then?
