People who ask for pictures of the edge of the world or for directions on how to find it don’t understand what they are saying. With the globe uppermost in their minds they think they are delivering a devastating blow to the Flat Earth argument. Flat Earth is a product of testing the surface of the Earth for curvature and finding none. Far from a hair-splitting quibble over the accepted formula of 8 inches of drop per mile squared, Flat Earth is the result of finding no curvature whatsoever over great expanses of territory, convincing to the eye and verified by many and varied scientific examinations. The land beneath us expands in all directions in a spreading series of level planes like pieces of a jig-saw pressed together and resting on a flat table. Never do the interlocked pieces droop downward, never do they curl under and meet up again somewhere beneath the table. The Earth is completely flat, proven by every method of testing men of gifted mind can devise. Imagine standing on this flat Earth exactly at the ‘North Pole’. Straight above us is the pole star Polaris. From this point all lines of longitude radiate outward like spokes on a wheel. With our backs set squarely and persistently against the North let us begin a journey along any one of these finite lines. Just how finite they are is testified to by any old school room globe. (Check your local skip-bin, you may be lucky enough to find one there.) Let us keep travelling until no more progress can be made. Sadly, the thrill of seeing the precipice where Earth terminates is fated to end in bitterly cold disappointment. No one has managed to go more than about 12,000 miles along any of these lines. On a demonstrably flat Earth we shall never reach any such thing as the South Pole because there isn’t one. If you wish to crush the idea of a flat Earth stone-cold dead, please, no more Bugs Bunny mockery of the seas falling over cliffs at the end of the Earth. Your best bet is to find Earth’s curvature yourself and find it pretty much in accordance with an 8-inch drop per mile squared. Failure to do so will only make a flat Earther such as myself even more content with his assertion that there is no such thing as curvature and therefore no such thing as the South Pole. -- source link
