Flying

So my question still remains unanswered. What will happen if you set off with the North pole directly behind you and travel directly south toward the Ice Wall?

You'd reach the Ice Wall and immediately be shot down by the guards.

I think TheCat deserves a Conspiracy medal for forcing a FE'er to refer to the conspiracy!

Well done! And only 23 posts! We'll have to keep an eye on you!

But this poses a new question. How does anyone know for sure that I'd reach the Ice wall and be shot down by the guards?

We'd tie some string round your plane. When it goes limp we know you've been shot down.

are you seriously telling everyone that you really belive the earth is flat

Because the Earth is flat, and since of all the explorers who have visited Antarctica, none have made it to the Ice Wall and returned to tell us what they saw, there must be someone or something stopping them.

Or.... No ice wall?

Well, that's a possibility. Of course, you could use the same logic to argue that because we don't know what someone would find if they dug to the centre of the Earth in RET, there is no centre of the Earth.

I could say, "No one has been to the center and back because gaurds killed them." But that just sounds silly.

What if people repeatedly travelled to the centre of the Earth, and many disappeared, but some returned saying it was not possible to reach it?

How could we know if people repeatedly travelled to the center of the earth then? We would never know if anyone made it. But I think I'd say it was the FE gaurds...

Exactly. It's more logical to assume that they're being stopped than it is to assume that their destination does not exist.

Either the ice wall or the center of the (round)earth don't exist.  So we have to assume one is real and one doesn't exist.

So then, flying in a straight line IS possible as long as you're flying directly south, away from the North Pole!! Hurrah!!!

Q: "How can a compass work on a Flat Earth?"

A: The magnetic field is generated in the same fashion as with the RE.  Thus, the magnetic south pole is near the geographic north pole, just like on the RE.  The magnetic north pole is on the underside of the Earth.  The Ice Wall is not the south pole, but acts as it, as it is the furthest from the center of the earth that you can follow the magnetic field.  The field is vertical in this area, accounting for the aurora australis.

Correct. And since we don't have any documented evidence of journeys to such places, we have to rely on first hand evidence. When I look out of my window, the Earth appears flat. Therefore, it is flat, and it is the centre of the Round Earth that doesn't exist.

FE and RE are pretty much the same. Some of the few differences are their shape and spaceflight.

Well, you RE'ers seriously need to stop thinking about the FE being so much different than the RE.

The Flat Earth Society does not endorse anything said by Tom Bishop.  In fact, just about everything he says is stupid.

So you didn't really understand my previous quote? I thought so.
