Earth is flat. Prove me wrong.

The complete geometry of flight patterns remains a difficult problem to solve. The issue lies in the shape of the atmosphere, which is not fully understood.

Is it a dome?

Is it a box?

Or something in between?

Seriously??  That flat earth map is not to scale; and everyone knows flights across the globe aren't straight lines, they follow the curvature

The round earth model is the one that is not to scale. Those plane routes that I showed before do follow a curvature when put on the round earth model, but the curvature is no where near what would be the shortest route between the two locations on a round earth, i.e., the great circle.

So according to that map, you can't fly over Antarctica, you would fly off the end of the Earth (which would've accelerated upwards by then.  Veeerry logical.

The fact that they do not fly in the correct great circles or over Antarctica supports the flat earth model.

We do fly over Antartica.  It's not the quickest or easiest route, which is why it's not that common

Did you hear about the man who got cooled to absolute zero? He's 0K now.

Do not be fooled by "Earth's curvature" if you are in an airplane.

Explain the magnetic poles.

I thought this thread was quite funny at first, but you are still going - why?

DavidPeters2

I mean people defending flat earth, what's the point? I've read enough to know you don't actually believe it, hasn't this run its course?

Got any new flat earth jokes?

The Rounders have been picked on too long now.

It's had it's ups and downs

I take full responsibility for reviving this apparantly dead thread a few days ago. It's a timeless classic.

Bilbo21

It was timeless until we invented satellites.

It is full of explanation about this some pages ago and in this link:

In a major address at Georgetown University Tuesday, President Barack Obama referred derogatorily to deniers of climate change as members of a "Flat Earth Society."

Even the Prez. can be fooled. Of course the climate is changing, a rotating disc creates all kinds of atmospheric disturbances. Tornados were seen just yesterday in Canada.

Bilbo21

I must say, I haven't noticed many atmospheric disturbances with my record player.

Flying over Antarctiva seems to be difficult... Or impossible:

This guy REALLY believe in what he says. Well, I am not sure, but it is quite interesting (interview may-2016):

Google Earth distances are based upon a flat Earth.
