A man will sail around Antarctica.
« on: January 21, 2009, 04:42:57 PM »
A man from Australia has started on a trip to Antarctica with the intent of sailing around it.

http://vladivostoktimes.com/show/?id=20852&r=12&p=7

I wonder if he will run into the great wall of ice? If this man is successful, then the whole FE theory about Antarctica not existing as a continent will be crushed.

I wonder what kind of ideas FE'rs will come up with when he returns back to Australia with video and photography of the entire journey.

Let me guess....HES PART OF THE CONSPIRACY!

 :D

lol....Nevermind....

HE ALREADY DID IT!

Well....obviously not. He has already sailed around it. The article was from 2008. Click this article!

Sailing around 'Antarctica' is perfectly possible in FE. See ENaG.

This is taken directly from the FAQ section of this forum.

Quote
Q: "Why doesn't water run off the Earth?"

A: There is a vast ice wall that keeps the water where it is. The ice wall is roughly 150ft high. This also explains why you can find a vast plane of ice when you travel south.

Antarctica as a continent does not exist.

So now what?? And what is ENaG?

If thats the case, then this forum needs to change the FAQ section that says Antarctica does not exist as a continent.

Ill assume that while Fedor was sailing around Antarctica he was too far away from the ice wall to see it.....but somehow Antarctica is one of the larger islands off the coast of the ice wall.

I suppose it depends on how you define continent.  Since by almost every definition I've seen continent is defined simply by convention, its really a silly point to argue over.

Silly to argue over?? OMG! Are you kidding? Were talking about a huge continent/island here....the largest one in the world, and FE'rs claim that it doesnt exist?!?! Give me a break....

Here....look at this map showing the route Fedor took when he sailed around it.

http://www.antarcticacup.com/racetrack-august-07.pdf

Heres the website to the Antarctic Cup Racetrack. It's a sailing race that happens every year that multiple sailing teams enter.

http://www.antarcticacup.com/x_HOME.CFM

Antarctica does exists as a continent/island/GIGANTIC LAND MASS SURROUNDED BY WATER. It is NOT a part of some wall of ice as FET claims.

All I am trying to say is that Antarctica exists as a continent and that Antarctica is not a great ice wall. Im not saying that the great ice wall does not exist....I just want FE'rs to recognize that Antarctica is indeed its own continent.

But, do take a close look at the route he takes and how he stops off at several islands that are in close vicinity to other continents like Africa and South America.

Well....when you have a few hundred sailors that travel around it every year its kind of hard to make the claim that it does not exist. What do you suppose they are sailing around? Again....All I am trying to say is that Antarctica exists as a continent and that Antarctica is not a great ice wall. Im not saying that the great ice wall does not exist....I just want FE'rs to recognize that Antarctica is indeed its own continent.

FE theory doesn't say it doesn't exist. 

The argument you are making is basically a semantics one;  A giant land mass is a continent, whether its on the edge of the disk or otherwise.

ENaG is Earth: Not A Globe by Samuel Rowbotham



I don't see how it is possible to sail around the Antartica while I'm looking the FE map.



You need to travel all around the "Flat" Earth? That doesn't make sense, if I start traveling on the left of this map, you see the Antartica on your left, so you must turn on your left while you are traveling to go around it! Not on your right. Explain me.
Quote from: Neil Armstrong
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

FE'rs have yet to design an accurate map of the Flat Earth. Obviously, this map is flawed, as the region we refer to as Antarctica is not even on the map....yet every year, several sailing teams race their sailboats around it as they compete in The Antarctic Cup. Nothing on this map provides an explanation for what they are sailing around. Keep in mind that Antarctica is similar in size to South America.

I wonder what kind of new physics Tom Bishop is gonna invent to explain why the distances covered by MANY people in this race every year do not match up with FET?  Island off the coast or not, it looks as if this route is near enough to Cape horn that someone who competed in this race could easily tell you the distance they covered between Cape Horn and the finish point in Australia.
