It does. It ends at the ring of magnetic south. Its just too cold for an expedition there. You've just never been there and have been brainwashed by the evil government conspiracy.

And that works for a voyage around the equator-how?
Let me guess, they'll claim nobody's actually ever done that.

No, they claim that magnetic north is in the center of the disk. You sail so that magnetic north is always in the same direction from you, you end up traveling in a circle.Batman wrote:And that works for a voyage around the equator-how?

Problem being the circle shows curvature in the direction of travel. Which is impossible with a flat Earth.Darth Servo wrote:No, they claim that magnetic north is in the center of the disk.

I'll just not ask where they think the magnetic south pole is.

Yes and on a giant head of a thumb tack, you would see that (or so they say)Batman wrote:Problem being the circle shows curvature in the direction of travel. Which is impossible with a flat Earth.
You don't need to since I already told you. They think magnetic south is the outer rim of the disk; a giant ring.I'll just not ask where they think the magnetic south pole is.

And they explain the ability to trave past that ring and all the way back to the North Pole without ever changing direction how?
Sorry for missing this the first time, BTW.

The curvature moving in a circle around a thumb tack is not the same as the constant curvature in the direction of travel when moving around a sphere.Darth Servo wrote:Yes and on a giant head of a thumb tack, you would see that (or so they say)Batman wrote:Problem being the circle shows curvature in the direction of travel.

How does gravity work on a thumb tack anyhow?

It's a neutronium thumbtack, obviously. And all our theories on gravity are false anyway. After all they assume Earth is a sphere which is apparently not the case.Lord Zentei wrote: How does gravity work on a thumb tack anyhow?
Maybe it's me but how do people grow up to believe stupid shit like that?
Evidence for Earth being (more or less) spherical is everywhere while evidence for Earth being flat is-inexistent. Neither is evidence for all the laws of nature that would have to be wrong for Earth being flat actually being wrong. Christians at least have 2,000 years worth of tradition they can blame their belief on, and the moderate ones actually admit that's ALL it is. What excuse do Flat Earthers have?

Actually, the notion that medieval Christians beleived the world to be flat is a commonly held misconception.
The usual refrain goes "the RCC claimed that the world was flat, Clumbus proved them wrong". Of course, both these are false (the former is wrong because they subscribed to the Ptolemaic model of the universe, the latter, since Columbus only crossed the Atlantic, he didn't make a round trip).
So, they are actually even more daft than the people of the middle ages.

Didn't the ancient Greek already know Earth was spherical?

Not only the greeks, but the ancient mariner warriors of the north as well. You know, the people who really had a lot of that 'mast disappearing last' phenomenon going on all the time.
I suppose bringing the flat-Earthers to high earth orbit is just a bit too expensive an education method. Especially since there would be people who would lie about being a flat-Earther just to get to high orbit.
