Some journeys would take forever

-

Longer travel times would be expected, not just from getting lost due to a lack of GPS, but also the distances we would need to travel. According to flat

Earth belief, the Arctic lies in the centre of the planet, and Antarctica forms a giant

‘ice wall’ around the edge, which convenient­ly stops people falling off. But if you’re unable to fly around the globe, and instead are forced to fly ‘across’ it, then travel times significan­tly increase. For example, to fly from Australia, which is on one side of the flat Earth map, to a part of Antarctica that lies on the other side, you would need to fly across the whole Arctic, as well as North and South America. You can also forget about trips across Antarctica –which has been achieved – as it’d be impossible due to that pesky ice wall.
