My first real post on Antarctica is going to surround my idea of how time is essentially slower in the “South”. I believe there are two streets you can take when it comes to the mysteries that surround the frozen continent. The first street can be called Globe Rd. and the second option would be Flat Ave. Simply meaning that Antarctica’s mysteries very much are influenced by whether or not you think the Earth that we all live on could be flat. If I have already lost you, I am sorry. If not, we will head down Flat Avenue and explore the idea of time.
In a quick summary, the flat Earth map involves the North Pole being in the middle with all of the continents around it like a flattened globe. And it has Antarctica surrounding the entirety of the Earth. How could Antarctica surround all of the continents when it is said to only have about 37,000 km of coastline (This measurement of the coastline has been debated and changed over the years)? There are multiple reports of people circumnavigating around the Antarctic coastline, and the record time for the trip is 183 days, 7 hours, 21 minutes, and 38 seconds by Lisa Blair in 2017. How could Lisa go around the Flat Earth Antarctic coastline in just over 183 days? It would be an impossible feat. My solution would be that time moves slower. Imagine if Lisa actually took over 300 days to do this journey, but because of the time barrier, when she enters back into Australia’s normal time it seems to the world that she has only been gone for her world record timing. What if the tools and instruments of our world are not calibrated or capable to match that of the Antarctic time scale?
This theory still has some uncertainties as well as many possible connections. I look forward to going more in depth in future volumes.
