Whatever, since this chat is not moderated, I’m not going to bother.
its more general because in spherical space you can move in a straight line
its just called a geodesic
I’m in the USA, if I walk a perfect straight line for an enough amount of distance I’ll eventually get to USA again
The line I walk curves so little you can’t even notice it
Because of the size of earth and how long your traveling
because in more abstract spaces you need to define what a straight line is
all you do is define a metric in that space and from that you can derive a straight line called a geodesic
But I am gonna some point turn 60 degrees 90 and at some point 360 degrees
And USA lies in the 360 degrees
That I’ve just crossed
some would say that the metric defines the space
Planes can’t fly to space and go outside of earth cause of gravity not allowing that
Simple
You can’t escape earths gravity unless you travel equally or above 25000 mph
from its surface
escape velocity
The more a plane flies higher the less air molecules are gonna be there which will make it harder for the plane to stay airborne, less oxygen results less combustible fuel to power the engine
ye
also most planes are self stabalising
The highest distance a plane flied above the surface was 123532 feet high but yet made it 1/3 the way to space
That’s my proof comebacking the flat earth evidence with planes
if only there was a way to keep a combustion reaction going without having to use the oxygen in the air...
oh wait
@Derek Nelson you need to read what I said
‘Nasa Orion return capsule at 89 miles high.’
Or 470,000 feet.
That’s a rocket I said plane
Can I see your image of debunking the boat sailing away proof
As the boat sails away far it begins with it going around the curvature, which for the eye, will look like the boat is slowly sinking
The ship-and-horizon observation is so self-evident that 1881's "Zetetic Astronomy," the first modern flat-Earth text, devotes a chapter to "debunking" it. The explanation relies on assuming that the sequential disappearance is simply an illusion brought on by perspective. This debunking does not make much sense, however, as there's nothing about perspective (which just says that things are smaller over longer distances) that should make the bottom of an object disappear before the top. If you'd like to prove to yourself that perspective isn't the reason for boats disappearing hull-first and returning mast-first, bring a telescope or binoculars on your trip to the harbor. Even with vision enhancement, the ship will still dip below the curve of the Earth.
Also
If earth is flat then why can you see farther with higher elevation
Cause earth is round
