I honestly found the intro a bit Eurocentric. Statements like "84%...nobody thought the Earth was flat...medieval times...Christopher Columbus.." How about mentioning other civilizations in the Americas, Africa, and Middle, South and East Asia? How did WE all think about this? BTW, no scientist who sends rockets to the moon and the planets believe the Earth is flat.

[@donaldyanson8144]

Yeah I don't understand it either and there's no point in arguing about it just like religious people they are utterly convinced that they are right and nothing anyone says can change their mind look at the Sun put some glasses on if you do it looks like a sphere to me look at the moon when it's full it looks like a ball to me looks round there is a way that you can prove that the Earth is round maybe expensive but you could charter a plane just keep flying West landing to refuel and rest and if you end up in the same place you took off from say Florida then that should be proof enough to anyone that the Earth is round

The flat earthers are so distrustful of the "official" narrative that they reject it all. I find myself somewhere in-between. I only believe what I can see. My discerning brain realizes how easily a giant lie can be perpetuated by media. Media is the record of history. When you want the info from a day in history in a certain place, newspaper is the record for centuries. A simple lie in print can be historical record. We have a big media problem and I hope future generations will see this era as a mud pit of information/misinformation. -It's easier to fool a person than to convince them they've been fooled.

The level shows nothing, because that's not how gravity works. But even if it did work the way the flat earthers describe, this test would actually be proving them wrong. In order to maintain altitude, planes have to fly slightly nose-up. So if the earth were flat and the plane remained truly level it would be constantly descending and crash into the ocean. Now. This "test" doesn't actually show anything because it is based on a misunderstanding of gravity and it's a dollar store bubble level on a folding, plastic tray. Anyone who's tried to set a drink down in a plane knows for a fact that those trays are anything but level.

They say the earth's curve is every 8 miles squared. 16 miles. A normal airplane flying is 550-580 MPH. If you divide it into minutes. Which is 9.17 mpm (Miles Per Minute) meaning you will travel 9.17 miles a minute, and lets just round to 9 miles. So that would be 72 inches for the entire 9 miles. So the plane SHOULD dip down quite a bit. 72 inches in that single minute. Which would make flying impossible. It doesn't do that. Why? There isn't the curve you guys are talking about. There is A curve, but it's way higher than a normal commercial airplane.

[@arthurmorgan9039]

Arkzy I'm guessing you dont understand how gravity works then, it isn't something pulling you DOWN but rather the force of attraction between TWO objects. Comparing a plane with the earth is like comparing a grain of sand to a building.

[@punishedmeridia]

@@justarkzy That's because the wings generate a certain amount of lift with a certain speed, since the atmosphere hugs the earth (relatively) evenly and gravity is constant that means going a fixed speed will generate enough lift to keep you at the same rough altitude as you travel across the sphere of the earth.

[@punishedmeridia]

Even if you can't accept that, flying it a "straight" line over 2000 miles would only be a height difference of 1333 feet, considering that the average long distance flight flies at 34,000 feet, this isn't that noticeable. 2000 miles * 8 inches = 16,000 inches / 12 inches = 1333.33333 feet Even with the longest ever non-stop commercial flight, New York to Sydney, which was 10,066 miles would have a drop of only 6710 feet, which would easily be correctable, or even doable, considering that that plane could easily go up to 45000 feet above sea level.

Ok. Real life pilot here. For one, the nose is never dipped down to follow any curvature. To maintain a positive lift and stay at altitude, you need something called positive AOA (angle of attack). Angle of attack is the angle between your wings chord line and the relative airflow coming towards it. The incidence angle (the angle of the wings attached to the frame), the aircraft construction method in general (like anhedral or dihedral wing construction), engine placement etc. will determine just how much your nose will have to dip or rise to maintain its lift for a given speed. As you lower your speed, if you wish to maintain altitude, you have to increase your AOA. As you go faster, the opposite is true. Either way, you will always maintain a slight nose up during flight. You rely on the immediate air around you to stay up there. As you fly at 450 knots true airspeed at 35 000 feet, your forces are balanced. A glass of wine (and a spirit level), will remain level. Trying to measure angles or levels in an airplane with a spirit level, is useless. Bringing the aircraft out of balance (uncomfortable for the pax) will yield a result for sure.

No actually gravity is what pulls the level bubble down and since planes use the air currents going over and under the wings to stay at a constant altitude they would always stay perpendicular to the earth and therefore wouldn’t need to dip down at all no matter the size because if it got to your size the plane would no longer work

[@whythis1074]

So at 37000 ft in the air and when earth starts curving wouldn't the plane be gaining altitude, so after a 5000 mile trip you'd be like 100,000 ft up? The long haul flights IV been on I never felt the plane to keep dropping altitude to compensate the earth's curve.

Yes, I believe that the question wasn't if the earth was round, it was a debate about the circumference of the earth.

If you know the distance between 2 points, you can figure out the distance between a third point. I believe that Columbus had messed up his calculations by not properly converting Roman miles and Egyptian miles correctly. He was just lucky that their happened to be a whole unknown continent or else he and his crew would have starved before they reached the Indies. Also he had tried to convince the naval powers in Europe to fund his expedition and all of them had laughed him out the door, because everyone was fairly confident how big the earth was, the only country that was willing to throw him a few dollars was a very new country that was desperate to counter Portugal's recent successes in exploring the coast of Africa, and even they weren't willing to give him much money.

Radio waves show the earth is round … AM radio can bounce around the earth …. FM radio waves are straight. “AM radio "bounces" off the ionosphere, allowing its signal to travel further distances, while FM radio signals generally travel in a "straight line" due to their different modulation techniques, making FM more reliant on line-of-sight for reception; this is why AM radio can be heard over long distances, especially at night, while FM reception can be significantly affected by obstacles like buildings or hills”
