That was a basic azimuthal-equidistan map I used for reference. (not to scale)
If you purchase the 1892 Gleason’s New Standard Map of the World from Amazon and grabbed a ruler, you can do the math and see Tahiti - Chile is under 4000 miles.


How about famous Pan Am Flight 50? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_American_World_Airways#Record-setting_flights

Even you can book a flight from Australia! http://www.antarcticaflights.com.au/

If you have the budget, you can actually explore Antartica! https://antarctic-logistics.com/trip/south-pole-flights/

Yes, you can go to Antarctica, but you are NOT allowed to explore Antarctica...

No "Independent" travel is allowed below the 60th South Parallel.



this video breaks it all down (the Antarctic Treaty) and the restrictions, forms, purpose of travel, costs, etc. etc. It was designed so that you could never be granted approval to explore Antarctica.

Sorry bub, I rely on actual math. If the Earth was flat, Punta Arenas and Tahiti are 11,112 miles apart.

If somebody is convinced by strings of evidence that they deem worthy, what is their authority?
Are you lying? What distinguishes flat earthers from globe earthers, such that those who believe in the globe earth are liars?

If I whole heartedly believe something, regardless of it's "truth" (if there is such a thing), just as you seem to believe the Earth is flat, this question follows:
We disagree, what makes me the liar?

It's how they argue. Ad hom, straw man, moving posts, etc.

That's why they are invalid and recards.

You lie when you claim to see curvature but yet you know water always seeks its level and is completely flat.
You lie when you watch a helium filled balloon float upwards but claim "gravity" is real and is pushing objects to the center of earth.
You lie when you go outside each night and see the same constellations in the sky but claim the earth is spinning 1k mph and orbiting the sun at 66k mph while simultaneously hurtling through space at 450k mph.

just for starters...
