If you take all the 2D maps of the world and sellotape them together keeping the distances between capital cities to scale You would end up with a big paper ball.
A globe.

More deliberate misunderstanding
You're doing a grand job of ignoring it all there.

I have no idea.
I can offer you a wild guess of the internal diameter of the cell but that's all it'll be.
Maybe 50,000 miles internal diameter.
Now, reverse that.

In your supremely arrogant and incorrect opinion
No, the problem is that you place more importance on your theory than on the truth.
Your mind is made up and no amount of evidence is going to change it, no matter how ridiculous your arguments have to become.

In your opinion.
Have you even watched the video?
What it shows is the distance between Red Rock on the east coast of Australia and Leeman on the west coast. It is calculated using the simple geometry of an arc across a sphere. The truth of this measurement has never been questioned by anyone who has done the journey, or a similar coast to coast journey in Australia.
What it then goes on to show is what the measurement would be if the Earth was flat, again by using simple maths. This shows that they would in fact be more than twice as far apart as reality shows us.
Still, if you're so sure the video is wrong, you'll be able to demonstrate why.

So prove me wrong!

Whatever you think it is, is fine for you and fine for me. It changes nothing from my side.
No. I place more importance on my theory than what I believe to be an absolute pee take of a global offering by the storytellers.
To be fair that's not exactly accurate.
If I'm offered absolute proof then I'd go with that immediately. But don't think for one second it's been offered because it simply has not.

It is. 100%
It has. Many times. But as I said, you choose to ignore it before understanding it.

Except there is proof of you denying actual facts because "that's what we are told" even when they are observable facts.
You can't prove anything because it goes against what I like to troll people with.

If the same arc was offered horizontally as it is offered vertically, there's no difference in route distance.
The offering is a big con job.
Prove you wrong in what?
prove yourself right.
7926 miles is the diameter. Yet from Sydney to London its 10553 miles. Can you explain that on your flat Earth model?

Saying it offers only that.
I do not ignore anything. I look at it all and see it for what it is, which is not proof of a globe we supposedly walk upon.
So offer me a fact that you can prove yourself that guarantees your globe and the argument becomes spent. Can you?
Aye use the troll and WUM and I'm sure your wish will come true at some stage.
Remember one thing. Leaving it like that offers you nothing in terms of winning any argument.
Yes if you flatten out the ball and offer in some concavity and convexity towards outer and inner respectively, then you simply fly from point to point on each area of that setup.
Doesn't it make you question everything when you're told 80% of people live north of your globe, with very little land south of it?

The stars are proof. You can't offer any explanation for what can be observed in the sky (that actually works) for the different hemispheres.
Your denial of facts is also proof of your trolling, as, to put it simply, nobody can be as stupid as you are pretending to be.
Ah I see, you don't understand again. The arc isn't being offered (whatever that's supposed to mean).
How about you actually watch the video, then explain why it doesn't work, since I've explained why it does.

They live in the same place on your imaginary bullshit too.
Solely on the evidence of your postings this thread that's patently arrant nonsense.
As Professor Dave succinctly stated, every flat earther he'd encountered, assuming they weren't simply conmen running flat earth sites for financial gain, were to a man, deluded narcissists, mathematically illiterate and with a complete inability for logical thought or to comprehend scale or think in three dimensions.
This is you down to an absolute tee and to be honest the writing was on the wall very early on in this thread with your complete lack of understanding of the tertiary education system.
You're an almost perfect exemplar of the Dunning Kruger effect.

So you could confidently explain the apparent motion? You have looked into how the globe in orbit is clearly demonstrated by the seasons and equinoxes?
You have no clue as to how either of those show a globe and even less of an idea how they can be explained without one.

He's simply googled the Earth's circumference and doubled it, imagining that this will free up enough scope for his nonsense to escape any troubling inconveniences such as reality.

It is not about the tracking map. You going on about Santa is your attempt at deflection that you can't answer what it is, because the truth is inconvenient for you.
You can't go out and see Santa as I said. You can look in the sky and see the ISS. What bit of this are you failing to understand.
The globe is closer to reality because in 2D, certain distances have had to be stretched to be able to lay it down. If you take the distances people travel and have measured between major cities and join them together in a model, that model will not lie flat.
