EAST TO WEST (or viseversa) DISTANCES ON A SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE!! ...
Here’s a nut to crack to flatties that so far not a single F.E internet-scientist have managed
to explain. Not by a longshot...

There are certain problems to explain the distances of known worlds southernmost ocean passages
on a flat chart due the streching of S-hemisphere.

And when I say known ... I mean that not only these pass
ages mentioned below are daily/weekly done by hundreds of commercial ships...
but I personally have done them too, back & fourth, in my job as a seafarer / Master Mariner

All the data for this I have gathered myself instead of googling or watching shitty youtube videos.

If you have a problem with that?...

you might as well stop reading this right now and go back to mommy’s basement
to do your own kind of research. All measurements & shit here is repeatable and prove’able, no problemo!

Since Im a professional
I do have the tendency probably often use some professional language and angles to things.

I have tried to reduce that here and put everything in “land-lubber” understandable form. But if I have failed somewhere, please let me know and I shall clarify in the best of my capabilities...
Ok... here we go
For this example I picked the southernmost common passages cause the “flat-problema”
of E-W-E distances grows the more south one goes. But it is indeed a navigation-mathematically
unexplainable issue on any S-hemisphere voyages. However... due the lack of actual “flat-charts”

Im only putting attention to the most gross disparencies.

The ones that are just unexplainable with known physics on any flat model...
without teleports and/or wormholes at least.

In the picture one can see a (badly drawn) yellow circle and a small short red line + a blue line.

The yellow is the shortest possible circum of three legs:

Cape Horn —> Capetown

Capetown —> New Zealand

New Zealand —> Cape Horn

And the short red one is a distance reference line from a known ocean / air passage of London
—> New York. The length of the latter one (3200 nautical miles)
I have used to visually measure the distance of the 3 other legs (yellow) on flat earth in the pic.

Blue line: from Capetown to NZ on the flat-chart seems slightly shorter if done straight
via/through Indonesia / Philippines and going N of Australia.

But I have done that too and I can confirm here that it is not shorter.

However if one wants to think this that way... fine... just take a 500-1knm off the yellow-number
and that should do it... even more.

Anyway... it don’t change anything really on the actual point of all this.
These three legs were also picked cause they form a circle.

That circle is something that if you try and explain the lenght difference of a one leg,
in a way that it must be actually shorter, due “poor / unavailable flat-charting yet” ...
then the next leg grows even longer, aka more impossibile.

If one wants, one can also use the visual reference of the infamous “Cook circum navigation”
around the antarctica (or the “ice wall” ... as anyone may to call it as they please)

That was supposedly more-or-less 60-70k nautical miles (thats the only info what I gather
from here/internet and cannot confirm!!!)

...But funny enough... it more or less seem to fit the flat earth model I used here..
Results:
Model* —> Leg: (measured globe great circle distance / visual flat earth distance)
Cape Horn -> Capetown: (4330nm / 15148nm)
Capetown -> NZ: (5940nm / 29000nm)
NZ -> Cape Horn: (4300nm / 19350nm)
Circum nav: (14570nm / 63500nm)
As you can see ... the theoretical flat-chart distances are whopping
4,3 times average the measured, experiences and proven globe great-circle shortest distances.
Even if one says there is no accurate flat charts around... s
ure, BUT! Theres just no fuckin way it can explain such huge difference between the reality
and flat theory
I would like to see U try though
Go ahead.. the floor is open for some dancing!

How Fast Is Earth Moving?

As an Earthling, it's easy to believe that we're standing still.

After all, we don't feel any movement in our surroundings.

But when you look at the sky, you can see evidence that we are moving.

Some of the earliest astronomers proposed that we live in a geocentric universe,
which means that Earth is at the center of everything.

They said the sun rotated around us, which caused sunrises and sunsets
— same for the movements of the moon and the planets.

But there were certain things that didn't work with this vision.

Sometimes, a planet would back up in the sky before resuming its forward motion.

We know now that this motion
— which is called retrograde motion
— happens when Earth is "catching up" with another planet in its orbit.

For example, Mars orbits farther from the sun than Earth.

At one point in the respective orbits of Earth and Mars, we catch up to the Red Planet and pass it by.

As we pass by it, the planet moves backward in the sky.

Then it moves forward again after we have passed.

Another piece of evidence for the sun-centered solar system comes from looking at parallax,
or apparent change in the position of the stars with respect to each other.

For a simple example of parallax, hold up your index finger in front of your face at arm's length.

Look at it with your left eye only, closing your right eye.

Then close your right eye, and look at the finger with your left.

The finger's apparent position changes.

That's because your left and right eyes are looking at the finger with slightly different angles.

The same thing happens on Earth when we look at stars.

It takes about 365 days for us to orbit the sun.

If we look at a close-up star in the summer, and look at it again in the winter,
its apparent position in the sky changes because we are at different points in our orbit.

We see the star from different vantage points.

With a bit of simple calculation, using parallax we can also figure out the distance to that star.


How fast are we spinning?

Earth's spin is constant, but the speed depends on what latitude you are located at.

Here's an example. The circumference (distance around the largest part of the Earth)
is roughly 24,898 miles (40,070 kilometers), according to NASA.

(This area is also called the equator.)

If you estimate that a day is 24 hours long,
you divide the circumference by the length of the day.

This produces a speed at the equator of about 1,037 mph (1,670 km/h).

You won't be moving quite as fast at other latitudes, however.

If we move halfway up the globe to 45 degrees in latitude (either north or south),
you calculate the speed by using the cosine (a trigonometric function) of the latitude.

A good scientific calculator should have a cosine function available if you don't know how to calculate it.

The cosine of 45 is 0.707, so the spin speed at 45 degrees is roughly 0.707 x 1037 = 733 mph (1,180 km/h).

That speed decreases more as you go farther north or south. By the time you get to the North or South Poles,
your spin is very slow indeed
— it takes an entire day to spin in place.

Space agencies love to take advantage of Earth's spin.

If they're sending humans to the International Space Station, for example,
the preferred location to do so is close to the equator.

That's why space shuttle missions used to launch from Florida.

By doing so and launching in the same direction as Earth's spin, rockets get a speed boost to help them fly into space.
How fast does Earth orbit the sun?

Earth's spin, of course, is not the only motion we have in space.
Our orbital speed around the sun is about 67,000 mph (107,000 km/h),
according to Cornell.

You can calculate that with basic geometry.

First, we have to figure out how far Earth travels.

Earth takes about 365 days to orbit the sun.

The orbit is an ellipse, but to make the math simpler, let's say it's a circle.

So, Earth's orbit is the circumference of a circle.

The distance from Earth to the sun
— called an astronomical unit— is 92,955,807 miles (149,597,870 kilometers),
according to the International Astronomers Union.

That is the radius (r).

The circumference of a circle is equal to 2 x π x r.

So in one year, Earth travels about 584 million miles (940 million km).

Since speed is equal to the distance traveled over the time taken,
Earth's speed is calculated by dividing 584 million miles (940 million km) by 365.25 days
and dividing that result by 24 hours to get miles per hour or km per hour.

So, Earth travels about 1.6 million miles (2.6 million km) a day, or 66,627 mph (107,226 km/h).
Sun and galaxy move, too

To blow your mind even more: the sun has an orbit of its own in the Milky Way.

The sun is about 25,000 light-years from the center of the galaxy,
and the Milky Way is thought to be about 100,000 light-years across.

We are thought to be about halfway out from the center, according to Stanford University.

The sun and the solar system appear to be moving at 200 kilometers per second,
or at an average speed of 448,000 mph (720,000 km/h).

Even at this rapid speed, the solar system would take about 230 million years to travel all the way around the Milky Way.

The Milky Way, too, moves in space relative to other galaxies.

In about 4 billion years, the Milky Way will collide with its nearest neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy.

The two are rushing toward each other at about 70 miles per second (112 km per second).

Everything in the universe is, therefore, in motion.
What would happen if Earth stopped spinning?

There is no chance that you'll be flung off to space right now,
because the Earth's gravity is so strong compared to its spinning motion.
(This latter motion is called centripetal acceleration.)

At its strongest point, which is at the equator, centripetal acceleration only counteracts Earth's gravity
by about 0.3 percent. I

n other words, you don't even notice it, although you will weigh slightly less at the equator than at the poles.

NASA says the probability for Earth stopping its spin is "practically zero" for the next few billion years,
so you can feel safe in knowing you'll stay in place.

Theoretically, however, if the Earth did stop moving suddenly, there would be an awful effect.

The atmosphere would still be moving at the original speed of the Earth's rotation.

This means that everything would be swept off of land, including people, buildings and even trees, topsoil and rocks, NASA added.

What if the process was more gradual?

This is the more likely scenario over billions of years, NASA said, because the sun and the moon are tugging on Earth's spin.

That would give plenty of time for humans, animals and plants to get used to the change.

By the laws of physics, the slowest the Earth could slow its spin would be 1 rotation every 365 days.

That situation is called "sun synchronous" and would force one side of our planet to always face the sun,
and the other side to permanently face away.

By comparison: Earth's moon is already in an Earth-synchronous rotation where one side of the moon always faces us,
and the other side opposite to us.

But back to the no-spin scenario for a second:

There would be some other weird effects if the Earth stopped spinning completely, NASA said.

For one, the magnetic field would presumably disappear because it is thought to be generated in part by a spin.

We'd lose our colorful auroras, and the Van Allen radiation belts surrounding Earth would probably disappear, too.

Then Earth would be naked against the fury of the sun.

Every time it sent a coronal mass ejection (charged particles) toward Earth

, it would hit the surface and bathe everything in radiation.

"This is a significant biohazard," NASA said.

Another weird effect: most spots on Earth would have daylight for half a year,
and nighttime for the other half.

During the day, the surface temperature would change depending on what latitude you're at.

The equator would be even hotter than it is now, because the sun's light rays shine directly on it;

the poles would not have as pronounced an effect because the rays are slanted.

Because there are no more sunrises and sunsets, the sun would just move up and down in the sky

during the year according to the Earth's orbit and tilt.

"This long-term temperature gradient would alter the atmospheric wind circulation pattern

so that the air would move from the equator to the poles

rather than in wind systems parallel to the equator like they are now," NASA added.
