Ladislaus, Tristan da Cunha is a group of islands in the southern Atlantic more or less in the middle between Africa and America. There are 245 inhabitants. There's no airport, but about 12 scheduled ships per year:

A journey to Tristan da Cunha is always by ship. The 2810 km or 1750 mile journey from Cape Town harbour will normally take six days.

Cape Town is about the same latitude as Tristan da Cunha. Six days means about 12 knots, that's what the cruising speed of the used ships is, too:

Cruising Speed: 12 Knots

How do you explain these numbers on your flat earth? All faked by NASA? What's the distance between Cape Town and Tristan da Cunha (37°7'S 12°18'W) on your flat earth?

Ladislaus, how do you explain that you can't see the Southern Cross where you live?

Ladislaus, how do you determine the geographical latitude of your position on your flat earth, using a sextant? The angle between a star and the horizont doesn't change with latitude on your flat earth?! Do you introduce parallel worlds (or domes) for every observer?

Marion is more worked up about this issue than if I had blasphemed or been promoting heresy.  Why should you care so much?


Everyone knows that the so-called "Copernican Revolution" destroyed the Faith of the Church. Now you come up with flat earthism, claiming that Gallilei was wrong and the Church was wrong.

Your lack of general knowledge doesn't seem to allow you to grasp the consequences of your flat error. The "Copernican Revolution" destroyed all sane philosophy. It turned philosophy of God, being, and reality into philosophy of humans not able to grasp reality, not able to grasp the essence of a single thing. The tent-nail of realism was pulled, and relativism, liberalism, modernism is the result.

Flat-earthism is when the tent was flattened after the tent-nail was removed.  :fryingpan:

What makes people so interested in defeating the FE position if it's so easy to destroy? What can we make of this?
