How flat earthers explain GauB's theorema egregium?

>>8215660
timecube ;)

>>8215660
All I know about flat earth is they think the earth flies through space like a clown's pie.

>>8215660
Actually the earth is a volumeless cylinder. Perfectly explains ops pic.

>>8215716
I can dig down tho

What a waste of fuel...

>>8215858
Fastest way is not stupid

>>8215885
Fastest way is the straight-line distance

>>8215660

>>8215887
It impossible to travel in a straight-line from one point to another in along the surface of a sphere.

>>8215942
Earth is not a sphere

>>8215660
Why are there mostly Europe => NA planes, and only a few NA => Europe?

>>8215942
>sphere

>>8215946
All the more reason that you can't possibly travel in a straight line over its surface. However, its standard deviation from at any point from being a perfect sphere is literally just a few meters.

>>8215946
Its surface is pretty much one.

>>8215948
Everyone emmigrates to America

Why go to Europe which has shittier living standards?

>>8215961
>a flat rectangle is almost a sphere

>>8215969
7/10

>>8215966
But if Europe is so shitty, how can they afford to send so many planes which never come back?

>>8215974
The earth is a sphere

>>8216000
Oh, you're one of those "hollow earth" nutjobs...

I just figured it all out

The world is a torus

>>8215660
Fish eye lenses.

>>8216033
That's silly, how can Earth have a specific astrological sign?

>>8215660
Not a flat earther, but one feasible explanation would be that the air flows could make it more economical.

>>8215660
Flat earthers believe the world is a circle, with the North Pole in the middle. That would make all the curves north of the equator straighten out a bit, but it doesn't explain anything south of the equator. However, not many flights go south of the equator across a major ocean, most are within the same time zone.

>>8215966
Europe does not have shittier living standards. In fact it has better living standards as you can indulge in your passions at least shorter periods of time while having a social economical safety net. If doing that in the US you would have to find someone paying you for it and then you would by definition not be free.

>>8216039
In both directions?

>>8216051
Something tells me you're wrong

>>8215942
That is why you don't travel on the surface.

You surface dwellers truly believe such efficient travel is impossible, and that is why you still live up there.

>>8216056
Not all people in our world are mentally addicted to gather and stash small green pieces of paper all their life just for the sake of it. What you do with them? Eat them? U a paper goat or smth?

>>8216052
Almost all of the planes on the pic go westwards.

Also it is the factual correct explanation. Going east is for the same air flow reasons more economical from south, like gulf area Florida aiming a curve for the Mediterranean not too far from Portugal.

>>8216062

>>8215716
>Perfectly explains ops pic
A geodesic on a cylinder is not the same as on a sphere.

You don't need this to btfo flat earthers, the biggest problem with their idea is that simply because they can come up with an alternate explanation for a phenomena that explanation is automatically true, but when you consider all of those things at once those alternate explanations ultimately make far more claims with far less evidence.

>>8216050
Their stance for southern flights is that airlines purposefully make many connecting flights. Otherwise people would catch on that it takes much longer to travel in the southern half since all maps are false.

>>8215948
It's probably very early in the morning in North America. Most westbound flights take off midday to early afternoon from Europe, eastbound flight take off late at night from North America.

and for completeness

(pic: list of countries by average wage)

the earth is flat.

"abyssal plains cover more than 50% of the Earth’s surface.[1][2] They are among the flattest, smoothest and least explored regions on Earth."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssal_plain#cite_note-Weaver-3

http://sp.lyellcollection.org/content/31/1/local/front-matter.pdf

On tectonic plates:
"The same heat engine that produces earthquakes is the driving force raising the world's great mountain ranges.
If this uplift did not take place, the relentless force of erosion would reduce the Earth's landscape to a single flat plane. "
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/school/moviepage/08.01.03.html

"Plane surveying assumes the earth is flat. Curvature and spheroidal shape of the earth is neglected. In this type of surveying all triangles formed by joining survey lines are considered as plane triangles. It is employed for small survey works where errors due to the earth's shape are too small to matter."

"Generally the survey works below 260 kilometers radius are treated as plane and beyond that is treated as geodetic."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveying

> 260 kilometers radius are treated as plane supervening
> 260 kilometers radius are treated as PLANE SURVEYING
>260 kilometers = 161 miles
>Plane surveying assumes the earth is flat. Curvature and spheroidal shape of the earth is neglected
>161 miles. no curvature. assumes as flat.
>each 161 mile radius.
>yet official statement of the earths curvature of 100 miles is a 6,666 feet.

can you even science nigger?

also
all communication uses landlines, satellites and radio towers. no satellites. This makes sense since satellites would require heavy maintenance to handle terabytes of data.

>>8217191
woops
taking screenshots is hard, apparently

>>8217198

America is the worlds richest Third World Country.

>>8217197
But for a radius of 260km a plane surface is still a good approximation. Supposing a spherical earth, the angular longitude of a patch of terrain that big is approximately 0.04 radians. This angle is relatively small and allows us to consider arcs of the sphere as straight lines.

>>8217364
Your post is very contradictive.

What your post against my scientific facts for the flat earth explains is this:

So when people say they see curvature they are wrong

When people see ships go over the horizon because of curvature they are wrong.

When snipers account for the Coriolis effect they are wrong.

And when the engineers say they accounted for curvature for bridges like the Verrazano–Narrows Bridge which is less than 161 miles or 260 km, they are wrong.

>>8215660
I laugh that africa is so close, if its stretched out like a FE map, it would look like a straight line. (you can google this easily)

>>8215660
>expecting flat-earthers to explain anything
fgt pls

>>8217560
I only said that, for calculation purposes, we can consider that as a flat terrain, nothing more.

>>8217560
When you're making a map that's gonna be hung up on a classroom wall, you don't need to be super precise. Snipers and engineers do need to be really precise, b/c lives are on the line. 0/10 falsely equate harder

>>8215948
Who the hell wants to go to Europe today? If you want to get stabbed, shot, or ran over by a truck then okay I can see why you would want to go, otherwise...

>>8217653
>>8218503
Contradictory because nasa uses flat earth for calculations involving aircraft.

Flat earth is not the same as moving earth with rotation and moving atmosphere.

>>8218535
Even with all the terrorism you are still far more likely to die visiting america than visiting europe

>>8219094
Only if you are black.

>>8219103
This would imply that the airline companies have spent billions on access fuel just to keep the yaw at a few degrees off from straight and flying in curved flight paths JUST to keep the people ignorant of something that wouldn't affect the public.

I can't get over flat earth people. I've decided all it really comes down to is that a globe challenges the idea that Earth is unique in some way in the universe, and that we just happen to exist here. It's all about religion really, if the earth has been here for a few billion years or whatever, it eventually leads to the conclusion that there is no allah praise be unto him.

>>8219173

Flat Earthers are just people out for a fun joke. I say leave em alone, they're having harmless fun

>>8219286
Not all. Some believe in Zionist conspiracies and satanic lodges of Freemasons controlling the world and all scientific progress.

I concur with you though. Debating them is a waste.

>>8219149
It's not like they want to. The wind is blowing those planes to the other direction. Wind is very strong you know.

>>8215670

Not just flies at a constant velocity, to simulate gravity that must not exist, but *accelerates*, at one gee. Needless to say, we would be very close to light speed after a few years of this shit.

So gravity doesn't exist, but also light speed is a conspiracy, too.

>>8215660
Why is the flight path on a such a curve? Wouldn't they save fuel if they flew directly there?

>>8219173
Ice caps melted and flooded the city.

>>8219173
Why don't we see the rest of the world ? Are there no mountains/buildings after that point ?

>>8219634
the earth is curved you dumbshit. its travel path is projected onto a 2d surface so it is distorted

>>8219173
The city base is under the sea level.

>>8219634
Coriolis effect due to the Earth being curved. You can't just fucking travel in a straight line like that.

>>8219711
it has nothing to do with the coriolis effect

>>8219634
They're travelling in a straight line, it's just that when you project our spherical earth onto a flat plane then you get curved paths.

What if describing earth as flat wasn't about its appearance, but was about the nature of everything's existence beyond visibility?

I thought 4chan would be smart enough to realize earth is flat..

this explains landlines. 99 percent of all communication is transcontental landlines.

>>8218827

Could you electorate on which calculations you're talking about? the earth can be a considered plane for things that only require approximation or are being constantly corrected for. Things that require one-time precision usually take into account the earth's curvature. For instance ballistics and abnormally long structures.

>>8221382

The reason landlines are used is because satellite communication is generally too unreliable and slow. Landlines are always better, especially when you already have them installed in cites and allng the ocean floors.

The reason Google is using survalence planes now is because it is expensive AS FUCK to lease the images from the companies that actually take the pictures.

>>8215660
Earth is an object in Hilbert space.

>>8221576

the amount of curvature during the entire duration of an hour flight which at going 550 mph would have to account to at least 15 miles of curvature. so that would be a steep adjustment.

all flights Ive taken were smooth with little turbulence. plus the horizon is always flat and at eye level.

you cant say gravity holds the plane because its obviously in the air.

you cant say the atmosphere rotates along with the earth because we have winds that are haphazard to the spin all the time.

so it makes perfect sense to not count curvature, rotation and moving atmosphere for practical and simulated applications involving flight because there isnt any.

>>8221626
>you can't say gravity holds the plane because it's obviously in the air
holy shit how can a human being be this unapologetically stupid.

>>8221626
Today in physics we made a pretty accurate prediction of a physical system via a model which did not account for friction, I guess that means friction isn't real.

you dumb nigger.

according to NASA. You wear a suit in space to protect you from air being pulled out of your body and high temperatures from fucking you up.

They say its cold and not that hot despite getting a temperature reading of the thermosphere being more than 3000 degrees F.

This is how stupid they think you are kid:
"The highly diluted gas in this layer can reach 2,500 °C (4,530 °F) during the day. Even though the temperature is so high, one would not feel warm in the thermosphere, because it is so near vacuum that there is not enough contact with the few atoms of gas to transfer much heat."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosphere

And then here comes the contradiction just a few sentences right above it:
"Thermospheric temperatures increase with altitude due to absorption of highly energetic solar radiation."

>>8225219
your lack of understanding of even the most basic concepts of physics is a cancer to this planet. I truly hope that you, and anyone related to you, and anyone who has come into direct contact with you, dies a horrible death without passing on your worthless genetic code.

i will post 2 examples of flat earth

you cannot make a rainbow indoors without the use of a mirror. Outside, there is no mirror necessary, because of the reflection of the dome

when you look at a ship in the ocean, the ship will sail away from you and eventually you will not be able to see it because it has gone past the horizon. However, if you get a telescope you will be able to see the ship again. explain.

there is a magnetic mountain at the center of flat earth, called mount meru or something like that.

when you use a compass, it always points north, because of the magnetism from the mountain in the north pole

>There are two non-stop flights that operate everyday between London and Charlotte, North Carolina

Can anyone explain this?
Why the fuck would anyone want to take that route

How are there enough people in London, that want to travel to North Carolina, that they operate TWO flights everyday for it, and still be financially viable and operational?

Even the fucking greeks knew the earth isn't flat.

You can see the curvature here at around 4:10, if you use a straight edge to join the points where the horizon meets the edges of the image you will see a bulging in the centre.

I hope flat-earthers realize that the "flat Earth theory" stemmed from the Catholic Church not wanting peasants to think too hard.

>>8226970

>>8226075
You can't make a rainbow indoors because of the lack of natural light. Step outside on a sunny day with a spray bottle, and you can make a rainbow.

As for the ship thing, that is a complete load of bullshit fabricated by flatties to fool idiots like you, since you all seem incapable of doing independent research on your own. I live on the Gulf coast, and have attempted this many times. The ship always remains hidden.

Is there a version of the FE belief that is secular? It seems to believe in FE is to inherently believe in creationism.

>>8226080
American Airlines operates a hub at Charlotte (former US Airways hub), so the flights were already in place. It makes sense for airlines to connect major cities to their hubs, so long as the hub-and-spoke model guarantees profitability.
It also helps answer the question as to why there's a Detroit to Tokyo flight. Charlotte has more people than Detroit, after all.

not flat-earthern but wouldn't it be easier to say the disk rotates with the "up" always looking at the center of rotation and gravity is just centrifugal force?

>>8228306
>I have no understanding of the mercator effect.
You can't represent a sphere in 2 dimensions and expect to have the same coherent scale at each point, because you need to adjust to suppress curvature.

There are a number of rational explanations:
1. Atlantis is underneath the ocean, and they are messing with airplane sensors because they want to remain hidden.
2. Earth surface is flat, but the space above it is non linear.
3. Aliens.
4. Humans can't follow a perfectly straight line.
5. Fake picture.
6. Human pilots are getting sensory overexcited because from far above the surface you can see the whole earth at once. Humans have not yet evolved to cope with so much information, that's why they think they see a horizon when there is none. And because of this sensory overexcitation, they can't fly in a straight line.

NASA SCIENCE, THE BIG BANG, GRAVITY, THE SOLAR SYSTEM, THE BALL EARTH IS ALL A LIE!!! Many people do not realize that modern science IS a RELIGION, an ancient pagan religion based on the Satanic Jewish Kabbalah that has been repackaged for modern times. The ideas of the Big Bang and evolution come from the Kaballah and are not based on actual science at all, but on pagan mysticism.
What is the Kabbalah and why is it bad?

Well, there's your problem. We don't want facts. We want a hypothesis that's testable, generates predictions and is simpler than what we have already. Absolute truth is all well and good, but a bit useless when you want to work out something like when the Sun's coming up.

I'm starting to believe that flat earth threads are guilty pleasures of sci.

What incredibly poor and fundamentally ignorant bait.
Come on over to >>>/x/ Anons

I recently binged on flat earth explanations, and they're fucking hilarious. I almost wish it was true, it makes the world seem so much more interesting. Presumably that's why people buy into it so easily.

It's nuts though. They put all their energy into discrediting (with nonsense) or misinterpreting basic science, yet put no effort into actually proving their own theories. The flat earth model makes no sense even on a fundamental level, and they don't even bother to address that.

Flat Earthers riddle me this

North/South railroad lines wear unevenly. Scientists say "that's because the Coriolis effect is increasing force on that side as the axis of rotation shrinks or grows respectively."

What does a flat earther say? That all N/S railroads across all the world have this exact same wear pattern?

this is one that flat earthers cannot explain

for several months a year the south poll receives continuous sunlight,

but by their model Antarctica is a ring surrounding the "flat earth"

if the sun illuminates the earth in gif related fashion then there is no way for it to illuminate the outer edge continuously at any point

It could do so for the north poll at the center of the map but the south poll would not work

Hey

I'm called the jet stream

Fuck you

>>8237938
that would be a better answer for west-east flights over the pacific, because the jetstream doesn't follow a great circle path.

Why don't mods delete these threads?

Flat Earthers, explain how you continue in a straight line from one point and eventually return to your starting position.

Because the world ain't a game of Pac man where you appear on the other side if you hit the edge.

Found this too which is pretty convincing, specially night and day on the same horizon

Light was hitting from the other side of Earth.

Yea but he says in the video that the moon couldnt have a reflection if the sun is down, it doesnt make sense

>>8239812
The Earth isn't infinitely thick

Imagine you are standing on a balcony, with a spot light beneath the balcony. You can't see the spotlight, because the balcony (Earth) is in the way. But the tree across from you (the moon) isn't shielded from the spotlight because the balcony only shields you

Earth is a geoid

>>8239819
It's not a infinite sphere either, if you cant explain or contribute don't ever respond to me ever again.

>>8215887
You know what that's called?
Getting on a boat

Wow sure looks flat to me...
