You're never gonna get anywhere because you can't stop ASSUMING the shape of the earth. You are constantly making an A PRIORI ARGUMENT, a LOGICAL FALLACY.
Prior to each of your statements, it would help a great deal if you just prefaced them with: "Since we all know earth is a magically floating globe.....I will now make my point based on this indisputable fact".
Riddle me this; why don't lakes "stack up at the edge"? Can you not comprehend what is being said?
This is yet another ASSUMPTION you're making and why you can't fathom the possibility of a flat, non-rotation plane. You just fail to see this again and again reasons I can't understand.
Nobody is even allowed down in this region for like 70 years, and those before were largely all sanctioned by gubmints of one sort or another.
We're not going to get anywhere, obviously, as you accept and believe what you've been told and I don't. I think it's as simple as this.
As usual, you've got everything backwards as it's the other way around...as usual. Surely you're aware of Gleason's map of the world? Have you not even done this basic 101 level of research into flat earth?

But wait, save your breath, because "Reuter's Fact Check" says it's all nonsense, right? You do realize all the "fact checkers" started to pop up online when the truth started being revealed by more and more people, right?
When I see an "official fact check", I always know I'm on the right track....never fails to be the case!
I was referring to the implications of a rotating flat Earth. On a rotating spherical Earth, we have the equatorial bulge, but no perceptible centrifugal effect (too small to notice, but not zero).
The rotational vortex was created in the laboratory. It was a demonstrated fact.
You don't like 60 deg S latitude? Then use 50 deg S. Stop carping over minor details, when the principle is the same. There was plenty of exploration before the Antarctic Treaty was signed in 1959. Are you saying there wasn't? No belief necessary. Airlines prove all the time that Great Circle routes are the shortest paths between points on the globe (flying time is a great measuring stick), and these do not correspond to any straight lines on a flat map.
Gleason's map, patented in 1893, was based on the projection of a globe, as he explained in his patent. It has severe distortion in the areas south of the equator. For example, New Zealand does not conform to the shape we know it has from terrestrial surveying. A flat map that does not agree with detailed flat maps of regions and nations of the globe? Kind of a contradiction. Since he admitted he was only projecting a globe, there is no mysterious significance to Antarctica and the South Pole. People have been there. You can go, too. https://www.swoop-antarctica.com/adventures/south-pole/fly Put together a gofundme solicitation among your flat-headed friends and take the trip. Stop moaning about "I can't do this." You are like the guy who insists the atmosphere stops at 8 kilometers and shrinks from climbing to the summit of Mt. Everest (8.84886 km), as though something being too costly to visit was proof that it was nonexistent.
In this case, the fact check is correct and you are not. The whole world operates on the basis of this Earth being a globe, from transportation to communication. Astronauts on the International Space Station go around the Earth every 93 minutes, visible to the naked eye at night. What do you do when it goes overhead? Turn away so you don't have to see it?
Ahh, didn't realize that. Regardless, you continue to think that "the earth" is the 6 continents and 4 oceans you've been taught. This is one of the reasons i have yet to make any final claim or declaration on the "shape" of the earth. If there's more "terra firma" beyond the Antarctic ice wall, then that would indeed change all the math and calculations. Who knows what's beyond? The earth could be 10x, 100x, 1000x larger than what we know about. And if that were the case, it could then possibly be a sphere and all the telescopic photographs of things that we can see that don't work on a 3950mile radius globe might work on a 39,500mile radius globe. It's a possibility anyway.
Nope, not saying that. Although it would be fairly trivial for the cabal to hide and suppress diaries, tales, voyages that didn't comport with their fake model. This is the part you have a hard time coming to grips with. I could tell you at least 1000 things about our "endorsed history" that are lies - HUGE THINGS I might add, not just minor details here and there. The cabal is able to accomplish this by having their people widely inserted into the antique book market. When something pops up that doesn't match up with their lies, they quickly buy and shelve it. Thus, this argument isn't going to get you anywhere either as they can easily promote the alleged voyages of their agents/sympathizers while simultaneously hiding information that doesn't. We've found several old books about these voyages from the 1800s and they tell an entirely different story than what you're trying to promote.
If this were so, where is Antarctica on the his map? Further, you don't think he could be coerced into the things he is claimed to have done? Child's play.
LOL, there is no "south pole", only a fairy tale one. C'mon man, are you really this gullible?
This is a perfect example of how you globies are deluded and in turn, make false claims and lie. None of this sentence is true. And if you don't realize it, there's no hope for you ever arriving at the truth.
Where are the millions of amateur videos from people who have used high-powered telescopes to capture this marvel of scientism? Oh yeah, that's right, just like all the missing satellite videos, there are also none of these.
You're lost in a fantasy land deathray. At least it sounds like you're enjoying your self-deception. I read fiction to achieve the same result but don't let it interfere with reality.
Regarding Gleason's map, it is a conclusive Fail. Antarctica is the fringe around the edge. You are averting your eyes from the fact that he specified in his patent description that it was a projection of a globe. The distortions get greater the farther from the North Pole they are on the map. Cannot be reconciled with local "flattish" maps.
The South Pole exists and was in fact confirmed by observations of solar motion. It is where the sun maintains a constant elevation angle in the sky (during the day of course).
Every word about the International Space Station is true, especially the fact that you can see it going overhead.
You have given up on the gyrocompass, I see. Either too complicated to understand, or the implications are too damning to accept. You have no connection to reality. You cannot deal with commonly observed experience; you just deny it all. This is a mental problem, including psychological projection where you lay all your traits on me. You will notice that I don't shun any topic, and have a ready and coherent answer. I can point out where the "flat Earth" hypothesis unravels. You have no ability to defend it. You come up with Gleason's map, which turns out to be a fraud, by his own words.
You have locked yourself into a private world. I can only wonder what crisis will break you out of it. Meanwhile, THE REST OF THE WORLD proceeds to live on a globe and thrives on account of it. Adios.
Fascinating projection. You haven't understood a single word I've said. Indeed, adios!
