"How can it be solved? Simple: crowdfund a prize to a race"
Why a race and not crowdfund a proper science expedition, or a hundred other ideas before trying this "sailing vs journey to the edge" business
You assume that there even is an edge to be reached, though we have no evidence to corroborate that claim
This is an absurd method if the objective is to determine the shape of the world
How about this, similar to your race idea:
Your sailors are instead pilots, and they must complete their circumnavigation not by sailing but instead by flying North to South; flying directly across the supposed Antarctic island continent and popping out the other side
Every "circumnavigation" whether via boat or plane has been East/West
This fact alone should give pause for the globe believers
You're in for a reality check, glober
I'm actually jealous of you, as you have yet to experience snapping out of the spinning globe indoctrination
I’ve always been spiritual and believed there is something more to be seen beyond the veil of what we can normally perceive with our senses, despite the globe Big Bang indoctrination, and now it only further solidifies that belief for me, if I needed more convincing in the first place
Circle navigating our flat world is not that hard, all you have to do is follow the path of the sun, go in a constant west ward direction. For every mile moved in a constant west ward direction, you will move 8 inches toward the north (a right turn). If you move on a south ward direction, eventually you will hit the ice wall known as Antarctica. Since the Antarctic treaty was signed, private exploration of the southern most part of our world has been forbidden.
Since you make a circle. If you move west, you do not move in a straight line. Your distance to the north pole always stays the same, as long as you move in a west ward direction. Are you one meter away from the North pole, and move in a west ward direction, you would move in a 6.25 meter big circle before you got back to the point you started from.

See you on the other side, fren
It’s cause for celebration!

Indeederoo. (Not claiming I know what it fully entails.)
It means that very, very evil people have ruled us for at least like 600 years.

Why would my position move North if my heading is exactly West?
If I go South, I expect to hit Antarctica, I agree with you there
But I don't get why if I'm flying exactly West that for every mile travelled I'm actually 8 inches closer to the North pole?
You can't stay within a circle by moving in a straight line.

That's the model, yes
Antarctica's shoreline acts as a container for our worlds oceans
Our entire "Earth" as we know it is essentially the Antarctic basin
Antarctica is the end of the known world. Where the edge is, is speculation.
I have heard that you will be stopped if you try to go there. There are patrols.
WHO DON GONE TO SPACE?
WHO?!?!?
elon, if u on here, DM me, bro.
