Okay, so you say the Earth is flat? I suppose with Japan in the outer east and USA in the outer west? (If not pls explain your dimensions... anything else would lead to more problems).
Explain how Japan attacks Pearl Harbour via sea without crossing the entire fucking world to do so? Im pretty sure everyone would notice a fleet crossing the entire fucking map.
This is just something that has always amused me. Never seen it answered, so please do if you can.
Where the azimuthal equidistant projection falls apart is in the severe distortion of the southern hemisphere. I don't know how flat-earthers would explain travel times in the southern hemisphere, maybe they do have some sort of explanation. I'd be interested in hearing it.
I've flown from London to Cape Town, and I've also flown from Auckland NZ to Santiago Chile. Both flights were non-stop, and both took around 12 hrs (give or take about 20-30min). Makes sense, as you look at a globe you'll see the distances involved are roughly the same for both – about 6k miles.
Now, looking at the azimuthal equidistant projection, draw a straight line/flight path from London to Cape Town, and then draw a straight line from Auckland to Santiago ... if the earth were flat, the NZ to Chile flight should be almost two-and-a-half times as long as the London/Cape Town flight.
The azimuthal equidistant map falls apart in the determination of longitude.
Latitude is easy to determine, longitude is not nearly as easy, hence why Australia east to west looks stretched while new Zealand north to south looks accurate.
