Antarctica Ice shelf
« on: October 14, 2008, 04:20:52 PM »
it is possible to travel in reality southwards to the ice shelf and eventually come upwards, northwards rather. This is done by transversing the continent, crossing the south pole, then staying your course that changes to north after the south pole.

This cannot happen in FE, i.e. not reality. Becasue if it did happen, people would fall off the disc or magically appear on the other side of it.

is this true?
or has every person that has ever done that been involved with the conspiracy.

Is there any proof that these people have gone in a perfectly straight line?  Antarctica is just an ice desert.  People have gotten lost and wandered around deserts in circles many times.

i have an idea how going in a straight line might work on a fe. how is the flat earthīs magnetic field looking like? (according to the faq it exists)

What do magnetics have to do with it?  People walk in circles in deserts often, both in an FE and RE.

thatīs right. my idea is the following: the fe magnetic field should look like the magnetic field of a live wire (i hope thatīs the correct word). that would mean that the magnetic field vectors would point more or less in the direction of the radius. by using a compass it should then be possible to move towards the edge of the fe or whatever there might be.

Um... are you sure you understand what the shape of the magnetic field of a live wire looks like?

ok, by using a compass it isnīt possible to walk west or east in a straight line. but it should be possible to walk north or south in a straight line.

That's correct, but only because east and west aren't straight lines.

ok, now back to the first two posts in this topic. if you really want to search the edge of earth it should be possible to get there and not wandering around in circles. thatīs all i wanted to show.

1) Just because the magnetic field resembles that which you posted doesn't mean that it is exactly the same. We already know that it is slightly irregular because the magnetic south pole is slightly offset from the geographic north pole.

2) Even if you could reach the Ice Wall, you would be shot down by the guards.

1) yes, i know. it wouldnīt actually be a straight line but reaching the edge (probably not at the point you aimed at) should be possible

2)  :o

of course. when talking about north and south i meant the magnetic north and south

The path will still be slightly curved. The distance traveled between any two points in FE is the same as in RE.

No, there are significant differences in the distances calculated in FE theory than in RE theory.  If you look at moving between two points in the southern hemisphere, you either have to travel different distances, but move along the same course, or travel the same distance and travel two completely different courses.  There is not a method that can make the two equivalent.

Magnetic compasses don't point toward true north, but gyro compasses do.

1)exactly the same or not, a random circular movement is unlikely.
2)people have been to the ice wall many many times, even since before the (modern) conspiracy. To my knowlege, none of them have been shot. It is however, possible to fake thousands of expeditions and flights and traveling anywhere near the area for hundereds of years. But, you cant look me in the .gif and tell me that this is the most likely explanation.

Furthermore, the poeple that made trans-antarctic flights/expeditions were among those that helped map the area.

So, the hundereds of people that arose before the modern conspiracy went antarctica, wandered/flew around in circles for days on end, saw different landforms, ended up in different areas, collaborated thier maps, and somehow ended up with the RE antarctica?

No.
The compasses worked, gyro compasses if needed.
They did not have contradictory or scattered information.
They were not faked or killed.
The governments of the world had nothing to do with any of it, at least to some extent.
The earth is round.

this thread is old, and it was also ignored as was the other antarctica-related post.
I dug it up to prove a point.
do FEers simply have no explanation?
