whoa chill out man. I dont think its impossible on a globe to sail from North to South Poles cuz if the earth is a globe you could just keep on sailing down the other side. But on a flat earth you wouldnt be able to continue down the other side you would have to turn around and come back. Hence why I asked why there is no evidence of anyone sailing to the north pole and keep sailing all the way around to the other side of the south pole.

Im sorry if I insulted you, I was just asking questions. I dont care about NASA I only brought them up, cuz all the imagery Ive seen is from them.

I read your posts, the first one just explains what non sequitar means which I dont know why you posted. and the second one I didnt really understand what you were saying.

I just think the things were taught are questionable, so I ask questions

Sort:  

I'm happy that you are asking questions, but they seemed like the flat earther 'trap' questions. They do this all the time and ask a really irrelevant question that they think they 'gotcha'.

I would suspect that the north to south circumnavigation would be because it would be bloody hard. It's not just 'sailing down and sailing back', you'd have to go half way around Antarctica to do it, and people even get trapped in the ice pack all the time. I'm sure if you went on a sailing forum, they could answer your question better. Again, if you have a question about sailing, it would make more sense to ask on a sailing forum. Asking on this implies that you somehow think it's impossible on a globe to do so.

And the reason I say it's a non-sequitur to bring up NASA is because, again, bringing it up on a post about the shape of the earth implies that somehow IF NASA is lying, that somehow would help us determine the shape of the earth. It makes no sense, but tons of people actually make that logical leap.

So, keep asking questions and trying to find answers, but I'd suggest going to the appropriate experts to find questions like that. For instance, people often say, "Oh yeah, well if the earth is a globe, why can you see Venus at night?"

It's a good question, but one that if they are asking, they obviously didn't bother to first check for the answer on an astronomy forum. Your question is a sailing question, best answered by sailors, wouldn't you think?

Thanks for stopping by.
