I wanna get ganged you feel me?
Hello
Bruh
Hello, I have another question for flat earthers, regarding flight paths.
Flight from Santiago, Chile to Sydney, Australia - 11k km 14 hours 20 minutes no stop
Flight from Boston, Massachusetts to Tokyo, Japan, little less than 11km 13 hours 50 minutes no stop
Tested these with actual flight plans online
This is what those flight paths look like on the flat earth model.
How is this possible?
No matter which way you go, on the FE map, the distance from Santiago Chile to Sydney Australia is more than twice that of the distance from Massachusetts to Tokyo, and yet both flights only have a difference of 30 minutes in the time it takes to reach the destination.
These are just your beliefs of thinking you have calculated these distances or figured out exactly how magnetic lines work or flight maps work because you decided to believe the mainstream strawman arguments
If the earth was spinning then plane flight times would be different depending on what direction they flew.
If the earth was curved then planes would have to dip their noses as the flew to account for curvature, which they dont.
.
Okay, sure, but you didn't answer my question. You didn't explain how this is possible.
He just presented those two statements in order to deflect me.
It's another way of saying he doesn't know.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Either one of the 2 premise must be right for that to work on flat earth, first one is that the flat earth map is wrong and new zealand is a bit closer to america or second that japan is actually much further away.
wow

*Looks for flat earth evidence*
*Finds commercial airline websites*
*Believes it is 100% true*

The earth spinning does not have a large effect on air flight times, the figure flat earth people use (around 1000 miles an hour) is the vector velocity, if one point was to travel on a straight line that’s how fast it would be, it’s an irrelevant figure when we are talking about an object rotating and the relative speed you feel. We use rotations per minute (rpm as commonly known) to calculate this, in our globe case we travel 1 rotation per 24 hours, 1 rotation per 1440 minutes which is incredibly slow in comparison. When calculating such a flight it would have minuscule effect on the plane and us relatively
Hello Guys how are you doing ?
oh, hi there Ethan
The reasons planes don’t have to dip the nose is that the earths curvature is not as drastic as most visual representations are seen, you have to be at least 10k miles in the air to see a most of the curvature, if you want a good example@some@of the largest bridge designs are further from the top of each tower then they are at their bases despite being level as a testament, drag forces and gravity keep the plane from just flying into space as well as gentle piloting, pilots have to actively monitor the altitude and keep within parameters, you act as if these planes don’t have to be monitored or flown especially with passengers
When you make the argument of “why don’t they have to dip the nose down” when a plane launches, you are with the intent to keep the plane level to the ground, when you fire an object linearly, like im@envisioning what you think a plane does on a globe earth if you don’t dip the nose
Yes it will reach space, eventually, given enough fuel and thrust, but the fact of the matter is pilots do have to manage and monitor their planes, it’s why they are called pilots
My real issue with flat earth is what causes the tides and the banding of the oceans to celestial bodies other then gravity
Or why celestial bodies are round and not discs
Or why we wouldn’t be able to take a telescope and such to visibly see the sun while we were in nightfall
hi guys
earth is just one big titty
Or why places like Alaska and Nova Scotia where I have lived for many years have periods of days of night or days of sunlight
i think the earth is rectangular can you guys prove me wrong?
Do you have any concrete proof, that the earth is flat, just asking?
