It is not possible to travel in a perfectly straight line for very long without a navigational aid. Can't we just circumnavigate the earth by traveling in a straight line without a navigational aid?Ī. Your path will not be straight without you having to constantly change the direction you are traveling in reference to a compass. The exact same thing happens regardless of where are you on the Flat Earth. What happens to your path? You end up traveling in a circle, and not in a straight line that you previously thought you would. You are then directed to travel East and are instructed to continue to do so. You are on a Round Earth standing 10 feet away from the North Pole. "North is Hubwards, South is Rimwards, East is Turnwise, and West is Widdershins"Īs it happens, except at the equator, on a Round Earth you do not travel perfectly straight when traveling East or West either.
Traveling Eastwards continuously takes you in a circle around the North Pole.
The continents are spread out around the North Pole.Ĭircumnavigation on a Flat Earth is achieved because on a compass East and West are always at right angles to North. The North Pole is at the center while Antarctica is at the rim. The Flat Earth is laid out like a North-Azimuthal projection.
