Flat Earth Debate / Re: Circumnavigation of Antarctica disproves the flat earth
« Last post by JackBlack on Today at 02:04:25 PM »They had a great problem when they first tried forming the flat Earth maps into a ballNo, they had a great problem when they were trying to map large regions of Earth onto a flat surface. It simply didn't work.
But doing it on a round surface works fine.
That is why there is just one globe, yet countless flat projections, all of which distort something.
But that has nothing to do with the ability to navigate around Antarctica in far too little time for your FE fantasy.
When they later decided that area will be an entire continent about the size of America, that was never before known to exist, until the late 1800’s and later onYou mean when people later explored more?
Do you say the same things about Australia given it was only discovered by Europeans in 1606?
With the east coast only mapped in 1770?
Or do you only spout such crap for things which contradict your delusional fantasy?
What he then said, was not supposed to be told to us for awhile later, maybe years later.Based on what?
He was on a tv show at the time.At what time?
He died in 1920.
At that point television was still in its infancy.
Are you sure you aren't confusing that with Admiral Byrd?
But when he said they knew it’s whole size, and that it was about the size of America, he really botched it all up. That would be completely impossible to have known by a few expeditions to it.Why?
If you go around the coastline you can easily get an idea of just how large something is.
The truth is just told as it is, there’s nothing to put into it as made upNo, that isn't a truth, that is your pathetic lie to reject reality which destroys your fantasy.
And again, if you want to claim people claimed things, provide a valid citation, because you are known to blatantly lie about what people said.
