I actually have. I went to a school that afforded a lot of resources to us to test and perform experiments ourselves.
Well, I wrote a bit more after: "I see often that it's actually a surrounding ice wall that circles the rest of the continents. I'm curious what that comes from."
You described Antarctica (or what I believe was you describing Antarctica) as an ice wall. I'm wondering what led you (or others) to the conclusion that there even is an ice wall at all.
Sort of correct. I've seen a number of different flat earth models (most commonly one where Antarctica is an ice wall that surrounds the other continents). What I'm not grasping is where that comes from and how that model came to be.
It's a little odd sure! I hadn't heard about there being a massive supply of resources there though. It doesn't really say anything about the shape of the earth though.
Well, I can't prove there is an ice wall. That's just what was report by general Byrd and the group he brought to explore. The measured distance "around" the island was longer than possible. Supposedly. Its not nessesary to understand Antarctica to disprove the globe.
The ice wall could be something. But for sure there is a government line we can't pass or we will be shot.
I would like to see these models. I've only seen one that makes sense.
There is no experiment to show the earth is a globe. Zero
Right, so, that's certainly part of where my doubts come from, the fact that nobody seems to be able to prove this supposed ice wall. A report by General Byrd is no more or less credible than reports I may find. It's things you've been told, just as things I've been told.
I'm somewhat familiar with his expeditions though, not acutely, something I can certainly read up on myself, but did he ever confirm/report that this ice wall surrounded the entire rest of the continents? I'm aware that he found massive shelves of ice cliffs, but is there anything that reports that this wall surrounds us?
What was the measurement that he gave? Or is there somewhere to find it?
Basically this. Is this the one that made sense to you, or did you have another in mind?
Ya, how could anyone prove there is an ice wall? You need a serious boat, and you have to break the antarctic treaty, go against armed battleships and air patrol. It's unrealistic.
So, I agree with the theory there is an ice wall because of a number of other conclusions I can make. I would never place my full belief in any report, only what I can guarantee because I saw it myself.
All I know is what you know, reports of ice wall. And it took years longer than they expected, traveling like 60,000 kms, which is more than the equator. So definitely sus.
You should be able to find info about on the International flat earth research society forum. It's buried by Google, so use Yandex.
That link went to my messages. Didn't work. There are a few models in the fake flat earth society website
What are these other conclusions? What did you see yourself that makes you believe in this ice wall?
Where does this information come from? AFAIK there wasn't a circumnavigation of what is believed to be Antarctica.
My mistake on the link! Here's this: Link
Have you looked up a "flat earth proof" yet? It's a misnomer because what it actually is, that it disproves a globe theory
