Electrically it's easy to determine the shape of the earth because the flux lines follow a spherical pattern of intensity which is directly related to the material it travels from and through.

It's a sphere.

I'm not necessarily a flat earther, but it really bothers me when globe-believers immediately discredit and ridicule flat earth theory when it's obvious they haven't even spent 20 seconds looking into it and don't even know its basic tenets. Traveling east-west on the flat earth model takes you around the North Pole. You'd still end up in the same spot.

Wait so when you see the curved path on the flight monitors you think that means the plane is slightly veering to the left in its flight path? The "curve" just appears due to distortion of mapping it out on a flat map (not the flat earth map). THE PLANE IS TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHETHER ON A GLOBE OR ON THE FLAT EARTH MODEL. I'll repeat that again, PLANES TRAVEL IN STRAIGHT LINES. The globe and the flat earth map are the exact same, the flat earth map is just wrapped around a sphere. The only difference is antarctica.

Again, I'm just here to represent the flat earth perspective but don't necessarily believe it. There are arguments that flat earthers make for why we can't see the sun due to perspective angle and atmospheric lensing when it disappears into the horizon as it moves farther away and passes the vanishing point at the center of our field of vision.

But why? Why the elaborate cover up by anyone to get everyone to believe the Earth is round?

Go to flightaware.com right now. Look at the flights between Australia and South America. Look at the flight times. These flights happen every day with hundreds of people on board each plane.

Now look at the distance between those two places on globe earth and flat earth.

On globe earth its a 7,000 mile flight that takes 12 hours, for an average speed of 580 mph roughly...which is the speed commercial aircraft fly. They do this every day.

On flat earth, Australia and South America are on opposite ends of the earth. The flight path on flat earth would mean around a 20,000 mile flight...which for a 12 hour flight would mean the passenger plane is flying at Mach 2.2 or so, or faster than an F-22 Raptor.

Hope this helps.

What the navigation systems do adjust is heading, where the Earth's curvature applies to their path, as in, any flight path that isn't East/West along the Equator or North/South. This isn't done actively by the pilots, because it's a built-in formula that allows the systems to take the Earth's curvature into account when mapping a flight path.
You still don't understand. The flights travel in a straight line, nobody disputes this. The globe map and flat earth map ARE THE EXACT SAME, except flat earthers believe the flat earth map is simply wrapped around a sphere. The flight paths would be the exact same whether it's a globe map or flat earth map.

Pan Am Flight 50 in a 747SP in 1977. The reason why there are no current commercial flights across the south pole are because of ETOPS regulations and requiring diversion airports within a certain proximity of a given flight plan, of which, Antarctica is lacking immensely.

I guess it depends on which picture of earth you prefer, because it looks completely different in each one. It bothers me that globe earthers immediately ridicule flat earthers for being idiots when they're skeptical in response to NASA pictures like this:

What's that about "blindly believing" without understanding an argument or the science behind it?

There are theories but it's all just speculation, but that argument is basically the following, "I can't comprehend any possible motive for why anyone would commit this crime therefore it can't be true."

Impossible. When using a camera with a wide angle lense, you get curvature distortion no matter what altitude you're at. In airplane, you only see curvature when you're above a certain altitude.

And for your reference (and referencing my debunking link posted before), the 2007 photograph was taken from a NOAA Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite which operates at an altitude of 22,300 miles. The 2012 photograph is a composite photograph which was taken from the Suomi NPP polar orbit satellite orbiting at an altitude of 512 miles.

Raw NASA image of Saturn's moon Pan, does this look real to you?



Just a wild guess here, but maybe North america looks larger in the 2012 image because it is in the middle of the field of view? In the 2007 and 1997 views, earth is in the top-left corner of the field of view, which will seriously skew how it looks from head onsince it is on a sphere

well, an even better explanation.


also regarding the 'fakeness' of the pictures, when there is no atmosphere sunlight is actually very overpowering in a photograph, which can make it look strangely saturated and prevents stars from being visible. You just simply can't tell because you can't see the sunlight reflected on anything that isn't thousands of miles away.

If that is true, why is there no fish-eye lens effect when on the ground or at lower altitudes?

You're right and I completely misunderstood the data I was reading regarding the adjustments flight navigation instruments make on long-distance flights, my bad. However, a couple posts above there is a very good point made, how do you explain a flight between Australia and South America?
