RE: How To Be a Crook
Just a question for a flat earther... I realize the claim is that governments prevent travel onto or over Antarctica. Wouldn't a simple means of proof be to just measure the distance between two points in the "southern" fringes of the world and demonstrate that they are much further apart than the globe model would allow? Like this: According to Google Earth, the distance between Buenos Aires, Argentina and Cape Town, South Africa is around 4,300 nautical miles along a nearly straight east/west heading. That measurement is based on the spherical model. If the earth is flat, and Antarctica is the outer edge, then that distance would necessarily be MUCH longer. Why hasn't anyone chartered a boat and made the trip? It seems a very simple way to support the claim or debunk it.
