[quote:Anonymous Coward 50639366:MV80MTk2NjIwXzc2MzMzODg1XzYyNDQyM0Mz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 77256626:MV80MTk2NjIwXzc2MzMyNjQ0X0JENDE2MzY=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 50639366:MV80MTk2NjIwXzc2MzMyMDYwXzNBMDJDQzFG] Here’s one. With a household intermediate telescope, on top of Mt Everest, one should be able to see the ENTIRE disc, everything on the continent. Every major city skyline, The Pyramids, at least the damned ice wall. This theory has been around long enough to prove something as silly as a massive ice wall surrounding our perimeter. Where does magma, lava, liquid rock come from?? From the depths of a flat earth? So, what we float on a magma ocean? and beneath it is more ice? How does flat earth explain volcanic activity? How does flat earth generate a magnetic field to protect us from the sun. We certainly need UV protection for our skin. Flat earth has every hole imaginable in it’s logic. [/quote] How far can you see in a thick fog? To think you can see forever through our atmosphere is extremely foolish. You can't even see the end of a long hallway in a Vegas hotel with a clear line of sight. [/quote] Continue, I brought up a few more holes in your theory. Your hallway comment is funny, since we’d be using a telescope remember. [/quote]
Original Message
Iam ambivalent after a lot of research. Both sides of the debate have anomalies....
The flat earthers state that the UN Flag is the true map of earth and that Antarctic is actually a large ice wall encircling the land and sea.
There appear to be no credible evidence of anyone ever circling the globe by air from North and South route.
Firing a rocket to escape high enough to hit the "DOME" is not really feasible ....
HOWEVER
Flat earthers why not try and circumnavigate Antarctica..
The flat earth narrative is that Captain Cook attempted this but travelled for months and over 42000 miles and didnt come back to the starting point.
Replicating this voyage is doable and provable to end the debate one way or another
