Rapper B.o.B. is raising money for satellites to show him if the Earth is actually round

I'm talking bout the south america to Australia flight that passes over parts of anartica its flies bout 3 times a week and flat earthers have literally told me its a fake flight cause they got no answer for. Also flight times for this flight don't work on flat earth

I don't know what flight or flat earthers you're talking about

Feel free to post up the actual flight time and flight path so they can be tracked and then I'll go from there, just like in the last thread. We'll see what works and what doesn't

Also, I noticed how you completely ignored everything in my post that you quoted. Don't worry, I won't forget. We'll get back to that in a sec

People actually died for this centuries ago, and here we are again.

Anti-intellectualism is something else, it's amazing we haven't wiped ourselves of Earth yet. We just don't learn.

Anti-intellectualism is on a whole 'notha level in the US (as evidenced by our current president).

Well no nothing flies over Antarctic that I know of

And I'm not sure what theory it is that you think you're talking about...

My arguments for flat earth theory are arguments against ideas and motions that you believe occur on a spherical earth but that make 0 sense scientifically

For example with planes:
Since the earth supposedly rotates west to east at ~1000mph then all eastward directed flights should take longer than westward directing flights, since when flying east your destination should always be rotating away from you.

Not only that, eastward directed flights should have to fly an extra 1000mph ON TOP of their cruising speed to offset the earth's rotation in that direction

These are simple fundamental concepts of motion that even children can understand, yet it seems like people who are so absolutely positive that the earth is a sphere don't even attempt to think about, much less address

And there's plenty more naturally occurring phenomena that don't make sense in a spherical earth

If you got up from your airplane seat to go back to the bathroom, you wouldn't have to run 800mph

Because you're still inside the plane so you're moving at the same rate of speed that the plane is

According to the alleged "Coriolis effect" once an object with mass leaves the surface of the earth then they are no longer moving at the same rate of speed as the planet, which also means that the atmosphere does not rotate at the same rate of speed as the planet itself, which means that planes should have to account for the rotational speed of the earth the instant they take off

Also, since the earth is rotating, it should be almost impossible for commercial airliners to land on north-south directed runways, yet there are plenty of these types of runways being used every day

So replace plane with planet, and there you have it

Planes do take this into account. This is also based on the earth's rotation on its axis.

This affect you're referring to on earth is directly related to the earth's spherical makeup.

You should reread this paragraph. I literally just addressed this

Again incorrect smh.

This is what I mean when I say that people don't understand the fundamental laws of motion yet still try and brute force argue for a spherical earth without any scientific data to back up what y'all are saying

As I said before, once you are no longer on terrestrial earth, you are no longer rotating at the rate of speed that the earth is, according to the alleged Coriolis effect

By your logic birds should not be able to fly freely and water should not be able to move freely

This is not entirely correct. You're attempting to completely disregard the affects of gravity. Further. The affects of the wind is a largely factor on flight travel with regards to Coriolis forces, but it's not stronger than gravity.

You think it's all or nothing when it isn't.

Smh again, you're making completely irrelevant statements

Gravity doesn't add 1000mph to an airplane's flight speed to offset the rotation of the earth

The wind doesn't add 1000mph to an airplane's flight speed to offset the rotation of the earth

You're literally not comprehending my posts. You keep making general statements that have nothing to do with what I'm saying

 

[acri1]

People really in here arguing that the Earth is flat?

 

[Pressure]

Smh again, you're making completely irrelevant statements

Your posts are nonsense and scientifically inaccurate.

It's hard to comprehend gibberish.

So again you're back to making worthless posts huh smh

Go ahead and point out what in my posts are scientifically inaccurate. Let's ban bet on it champ

I could literally be a physics teacher right now if I chose to be. You haven't posted a single scientific principle in this thread. Yet here you are attempting to defend something that you don't even understand, on a fundamental level smh

You're discussing the Gravity theory?
