BEEN DONE TWICE EACH TIME 64,000 MILES AND 2 YEARS TRAVEL TIME OF COURSE THE NEWS MEDIA DOES NOT GIVE THIS FACT NOTICE THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLAINATION OTHER THAN THE EARTH IS FLAT [/quote] If you're referring to Cook's voyages, then the actual explanation is he didn't just circumnavigate Antarctica. He made many detours mapping various islands, backtracking, and resupplying. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cook#/media/File:Cook_Three_Voyages_59.png Note that each had many detours and also included travel to and from England. But others have circumnavigated it. There are cruises that do so and a regular sailing race. None of those take as long as it should on the mythical flat Earth map. [/quote] THE SAIL RACE DOES NOT CIRCUMNAVIGATE ANTARTICA IT GOES FROM SOUTH AFRICA TO AUSTRALIA [/quote] Not what this site says. http://www.acronautic.com/antartica-cup-ocean-race/ [quote:Anonymous Coward 77891168:MV80MTk2NjIwXzc2MzYxNzI5X0Y4QTg4N0E0] WHY ARE THERE NO AIRLINE FLIGHTS FROM SOUTH AMERICA TO SOUTH AFRICA OR FROM SOUTH AFRICA DIRECT TO AUSTRALIA THEY ALL GO TO DUBAI THAT'S BECAUSE THAT IS THE SHORTEST WAY [/quote] Why do you lie? they only go through Dubai if you choose an airline with hubs in Dubai. Just found a flight on South African Airways, flight 280 on Dec 9 from Johannesburg to Perth nonstop, 9 hours 25 minutes. Found another on Qantas from Johannesburg to Sydney, flight 64 also on Dec 9, 11 hours 45 minutes. So that makes you a liar on South Africa to Australia. For South America to South Africa, looking at the same day, found nonstop from Sao Paulo to Johannesburg, Latam Airlines 8058, 8 hrs 45 minutes. So no, through Dubai is NOT the shortest way. [/quote] SAN PAULO IS THE SAME LATITUDE AS DUBAI NICE TRY [/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
