He stated that he asked a pilot this before, but they said they don't make adjustments.

But they are fast enough to lift off the ground like space ships. So why doesn't a plane do the same thing? How come the old space shuttle made of our past technology which is 'mostly' obsolete can go to the moon, but we haven't been there since?

He also mentioned the tomato shape of the Earth seeing as some scientists think the Earth isn't round but tomato shaped. This was big. Seeing as even scientists have theories of the Earth's shape even though NASA went to space already?

Space ships work very differently. The rockets actually spend a huge amount of fuel to get to their speed. They accelerate by "pushing" the fuel away after the chemical reaction. This is why things like rockets (read: water bottles) with just pressurized water can fly.

Planes spend a lot less fuel, since instead of pushing the fuel back, they use the fuel to push air back. And things like lift caused by the wings pretty much means that they need less speed to stay in the air.

to the "why don't pilots have to make course corrections" argument:

this is actually a non-argument. if he "believes" in gravity, and he probably does since it's what knocked his head on the ground so hard when he was little, and agrees that it points "straight down" (as in: perpendicular to the earth's surface), riddle him this:
- a plane produces lift through the aerodynamic properties of its wings, which is a function of speed (among a few other things, like angle of attack and such, but for steady flight this is a sound approximation to make) - that means, more speed --> more lift
- gravity is pulling down the plane with constant force
- therefore, at steady flight, the plane produces exactly the amount of lift necessary to balance out gravity
- therefore, it makes no difference whether the earth's surface is flat or curved, since the plane will always move in such a way as to cancel the forces, i.e. perpendicular to gravity, i.e. parallel to the earths surface
- therefore, this is not an argument for either side since it work either way

sorry to all the people who actually know their shit for the gross oversimplification of matters.

He thinks the word airplane(specifically plane) is refering to a flat straight line. He asked for me to explain that. Seeing as in a flat Earth a plane doesn't need to curve and just goes in a straight line.

I stated the second definition of plane, and how bear (noun) and bear (verb) are spelled the same but have different meanings. But the thing was he believes that a plane could fly out of the atmosphere if the Earth was round. But another anon explained this.

The thing is no one has explained why some scientists think the Earth has a tomato shape when there are pictures of the Earth.

Dunno if anyone's given a definitive way for a casual observer to witness the curvature of the earth with no calculations required, but I saw this one on TV and will share it with you.

Required:

>Powerful Laser
>Mounting/Leveling device for said Laser
>Large body of water
>Boat
Observers on both the shore and the boat

Shine the Laser out over the body of water on a level plane while the Laser is fixed perfectly level (with people to observe that no one touches the lazer), take the boat out several miles until the beam goes over the top of the boat. Congratulations, you have now demonstrated the curvature of the earth by you dropping under the Laserbeam.

>Measure the distance from the laser relative to the amount the beam rises relative to your boat

Congratulations, you can now calculate the circumference of the earth as a bonus.

Don't see how anyone could argue with this real world demonstration.

If the Earth was flat and the sun revolved in a circular manor, the sun would rise in the north east and set in the north west. Connector flights from Los Angeles to Hong Kong to London would take more than 24 hours flight time. The Earth would never experience seasons. The most stable object in the universe would be a circular disk. Gravity does not fit its known rules in a flat earth. You could see europes coast line from the east coast if the Earth was flat.

Earth and its local cosmos are accelerating upward, the sun's downward-facing hotspot moves so far away that its light doesn't penetrate so much atmosphere at once, and there's a reason that only government workers are allowed to go to Antarctica.

The sun doesn't go to the other side of the Earth disk; it just points downward at another spot.

>>8200604
The sun does rise in the northeast and set in the northwest. The connector flight you mention is still chasing the sun's hotspot. Seasons are the sun rotating along circles of different radii above the Earth. Earth is the bottom edge of the universe, so its geometry is different from the bodies in the sky. Earth's gravity is due to its acceleration upward. You can't see across the ocean because of particles in the air fogging things up and because of the reflective mirage effect making you see only sky where you might otherwise see figures.

It means in our own reference frame. Upward acceleration can be done essentially endlessly. Due to general relativity, you need to accelerate less and less in an outside observer's reference frame in order to achieve the same effect in your own reference frame. As you accelerate, time and space will accommodate to make certain that c is constant, and in doing so, the acceleration between 0% and 50% c will essentially feel the same as the acceleration between 99% and 99.5% c in our own reference frame.

That's actually how things are. It also illustrates the nature of why you would need infinite energy to move any amount of mass at the speed of light.

But that's not how special relativity works. The formula for acceleration in SR is easy to derive, but it is amazingly ugly. Once you begin traveling relativistic speeds, time dilation becomes significant. I'm not trying to be a dick (it comes naturally), but you can't just multiply some numbers for this one.

You're still using the classical model for a relativistic system. Factor in length contraction and apply that to free space while you also factor in time dilation.

well, aside from the fact that "plane refers to a flat straight line", i just explained that they ARE in fact flying in a straight flat line, the reference plane being the earth's surface. this works no matter whether the earth is round or flat, since the plane will always fly in a straight line parallel to the earth's surface under it, since gravity points "straight down" (as in: perpendicular to the surface tangent) in both a spherical and a flat earth scenario.

"tomato shaped" is an overstatement of matters, really. it refers to the fact the the earth isn't a perfect sphere. imagine like a elastic, perfectly spherical balloon filled with sand; now imagine kicking it around the yard for a few minutes - it ain't going to be perfectly round any longer. now imagine you take the kicked balloon and spin it on your finger, like a basketball. it will go back to more or less perfect sphere condition, but since the sand also has a configuration which requires some kind of force to change the rotational forces probably won't be enough to redistribute everything perfectly. also, the rotation clearly favors material moving to the outside of it. hence, the slight tomato shape (or, as is now said, pear).

Yeah, so it approaches the speed of light, things get shorter, time gets longer, and it's still accelerating at 9.8 in its own reference frame even though it's accelerating slower and slower in an outside observer's reference frame. Another way to think about it is in terms of energy. There is a constant stream of energy being used to keep Earth accelerating upward. You will always experience that however many joules per second it takes to apply that acceleration to you. You'll just never reach the infinite amount of joules it takes to reach c.

Gravity can be modeled to cause the same phenomenon to be honest, since the universe doesn't distinguish between force and acceleration.

question: what difference does it make?

in a flat earther's mind, what difference does it make whether the earth is flat or a globe? why would there even be a conspiracy around this - who profits?

also the flat earther wiki is a fucking joke, it's so ridiculous it's not even funny

The people who propagate this bullshit profit from it. For starters it gives them meaning in life where they feel special and secondly it generates them money from ads, books and paid subscriptions.
