If globeheads are so hell-bent on the Earth being a perfect sphere, why don't you go to Australia (for example) take a fucking boat, and sail EAST (traveling presumably towards South America from your point of view) until you finally hit the Antarctic wall of ice that is surrounding this Earth. Be sure to capture footage as well, that will soon be destroyed once you realize you've made a GREAT MISTAKE
Isaiah 40:22 "It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in"
Psalms 93:1 "the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved"
A guy did that, found 'the indies' and 'japan.' Then raped a whole bunch of people, and accidentally created the worst country on the planet.
He was as Christian as they come as well. Like super Christ like, had his whole voyage blessed down to the individual timbers. Fucking madlad that ol' Columbus. Pity about the abhorrent amount of rape he, like all Christians, did.
>Then raped a whole bunch of people, and accidentally created the worst country on the planet.
I wouldn't say the Bahamas are the 'worst country on the planet'
>Pity about the abhorrent amount of rape he, like all Christians, did.
I can taste the doritos and cheeto dust in the air from here
>muh rape
Did you take your hrt today?
The chuds larping through the misadventures of their white ancestors will take offense to what you've said
>the worst country on the planet.
chuds really do need to travel more kek
>If globeheads are so hell-bent on the Earth being a perfect sphere,
You are already wrong Its pear shaped.
Not quite pear shaped. More like a mandarin orange. Picture a perfect sphere but on the polls you compress and the center bulges out.
We are in awe at the glow of the thread.
I assume pilots don’t have to constantly tip the nose of their planes because our concept of altitude is relative to the curvature of the earth as a sphere, retard.
Planes’ ability to travel in a conceivably straight line doesn’t mean that gravity suddenly no longer applies to them.
They don't realise that autopilot constantly adjusts for measured altitude.
They technically do, if they go long enough. But autopilot does this automatically, and in smaller craft you're more likely to have to adjust for wind before altitude changes due to curvature. But assuming 0 wind, 0 turbulence, you will have to constantly pitch down slightly or you go up by going straight, indicating a curved surface.
Do you not think these planes are generating enough force to overcome gravity? How exactly do you think planes actually work? Genuinely curious, because from what I understand, the speed of the plane causes wind to interact with the wings, generating lift and therefore creating enough force to overcome weight, density and gravity,
Gravity isn't some kind of rope that tethers the plane to the fucking core.
That reminds me of a different conspiracy theorist - not a flat earther, he insists they're a psyops to discredit more reasonable alt-science - who claims that planes shouldn't be able to fly under the stated laws of Newtonian mechanics. He believes that there's an electromagnetic upward current pulsing from the earth's surface, and planes "catch" this pulse in order to gain lift.
Original theory; I call it the theory of "levity", for several reasons.
Why don't flatties do this?
In fact, while in Australia try and look for the north star.
Those flight routes don't exist because flying over fucking Antarctica would be hellish for an ordinary passenger plane. Routes like that don't exist for the northernmost point of Russia and Canada either, because it's insanely cold and windy.

Why, you'll just say it's fake footage.
east is a reference to a compass pointing north pole. what constant can you use with a moving boat on moving water to maintain your initial eastward course for the entire journey?
Magnetism, generated by a the movements of a spherical planet. I see what you were doing here m8 I too love pointing out that there's a couple of really big non-visual infallible reasons why we live on a sphere and one of them is that electromagnetic field of planet earth is generated around a spherical mass. It takes a flat earther to not understand this.
i dont believe the earth is flat. what i was doing was highlighthing how one someone who believes the earth is flat would have no way of plotting a the hypothetical vector without using the 3d earth model. compass points to polaris in either model.
>electromagnetic field of planet earth is generated around a spherical mass
lol no what ass did you pull this from?
Fucking retard op. Antarctic is South from Australia.
Hey flat fag,
why don't you go to Australia (for example) take a fucking boat, and sail EAST (traveling presumably towards South America from your point of view) until you finally hit the Antarctic wall of ice that is surrounding this Earth. Be sure to capture footage as well...
But seriously, you're the one with the retarded contrarian opinion with 0 empirical evidence. The burden of proof falls with you.
I'm a sailor, I have sailed from Japn to the US, to south china sea, to austrailia, to africa, to south america and antartica, the world is not flat, you are a fucking retard. Go crew up on a ship RIGHT NOW. Do it. I fucking lived at sea with no port calls for 7 months once, (was a shit circumstance, they do port calls normally now) Tell me the earth is flat you fucking weirdo
No need to sail around the world or between continents or to join the Navy. Just hire a boat to sail off the coast until you can't see land then approach an oil rig at night
It becomes very clear as the tall rig seems to "surface" from the sea that it was hidden under the curvature of the earth and not by the distance
Lot's of routes don't exist. Pic related.
Let's look at those "flight routes." Three of six are intercontinental routes from the Falkland Islands. Pic related is the airport in the Falkland Islands. So yeah, there are not a lot of intercontinental flights from there. You'd get on a puddle-jumper, fly to a bigger airport where bigger planes operate, and fly out of there.
Then there is one that flies from South Africa and ditches in the ocean near Tierra Del Fuego. Pretty obvious why nobody is flying THAT route, even if you assume it actually lands in Tierra Del Fuego somewhere. And it does not cross Antarctica anyway.
So that leaves two routes, from South Africa to Tasmania and New Zealand. There are indeed no direct flights from SA to Tasmania, but there are flights to Sydney, which would be slightly South of the line in this image. It's essentially the same route but a bit longer and goes to a place where people live. So the only "missing route" is SA to Christchurch, NZ -- which is uneeded because there are already flights to hubs in Australia, it is more economical to fly full planes than empty ones.
OP's image is retarded. (The left hand bit is also retarded, but for different reasons.)
Do any flights go over the north pole?
Yeah, Emirates flies polar routes from Dubai to and from the west coast of the US. There are no analogous flights scheduled to cross the South Pole. There are reasons for this.
There are more major population centers in the Northern than Southern hemispheres to justify such flights. There are regulations affecting passenger flights that require airports they can divert to in an emergency and there are some of those pretty far north, none in Antarctica. And is is significantly colder over Antarctica, making operating there more dangerous.
Population of Tierra del Fuego province is 150,000, give or take. What percentage of them do you think need to fly to South Africa in a given year? If you flew a daily flight of, say, an A330 (around 406 passengers depending on configuration) you'd need every single person in Tierra del Fuego to fly to South Africa once a year to fill them up. That may explain why there is no regular passenger direct flight.
(Even if you accepted that the planes would be, on average, only half full, and counted on South Africans for half your passengers, you'd still need 1 in every 4 Tierra del Fuegans to make the trip every year.)
"GLOBEHEADS" : 8 BILLION
Flat paid pussies : 8000
See the difference, spamming stupid bitch. SILENCE
Not a perfect sphere, it's a bit squashed.
Not a commercial aviation expert, but I assume it is because there are few few places to make an emergency landing in Antarctica, and the extremely cold waters are less than ideal for an emergency water landing. That's just my common sense talking though, I'm sure the real truth is that it's because all pilots have been briefed and warning about the angry aliens that hate planes in Antarctica.
