9.25...that was pretty good. Nice to see the Lust of old is back!!! Thanks chap. Here's some things you obviously haven't considered. The visible curvature from an aircraft is visible at 39000ft you say due to the shape of the windows? Are therefore we to assume that on the Tarmac and lower altitude where the horizons appears flat that the windows are changed whilst we're all distracted by the meal service? Polar flights. Many air routes fly the shortest straight line from a to b. In many cases this is over the pole. I've flown a few of these routes. Very beautiful actually. Always succsessfuly come over the other side. Uh oh! I've just spent two weeks on an island in Thailand. Your rantings encouraged me to watch distant ships on the horizon. Guess what. I watched them disappear bottom down into the ocean as they would on a sphere. Then I went up to higher ground and could see the top again for a while before they disappeared once more. And that my friend should be the end of it but something tells me that your mind won't be changed. I would like to apologise for calling you an idiot on many occasions. I know some really nice idiots and they'd be highly offended by the comparison. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

Rodeo. You've lost me here. If the flat earth map Is the one with the North Pole in the middle and Antarctica bordering the edge then there's a straight direct line from Japan to Hawaii just like in the real global earth. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

So how come our evidence isn't true, but your evidence is the absolute truth? This can go in circles forever like that, which is why I personally fall out of these conversations, early. | |

I've already semi addressed that. Look at the map in reply 156. Suppose you take off from NYC across the Atlantic but maintain a very slight almost imperceptible left hand turn, you'd traverse a huge circle which would cross everywhere you'd expect to and then return home over the Pacific and mainland U.S. I assume this is how a more knowledgeable flat earther than Funkcreep would explain it (he didn't even know what the Bedford Levels experiment was, their biggest argument for a flat earth) The question is how they would explain pilots believing they are flying straight and not being instrumentally aware of the slow circle they are traveling. My best guesses were conspiratorial instrument makers. Or something something quantum something something dark energy. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

He'd be flying elliptical, looks like he'd be over the Pacific Ocean for a very long time to get any kind of curves. I can't tell where Hawaii is, if its where I think it is on that map it is not aligned in any kind of way with the Asian countries you have to go to way West then come back East to get to Asia. And why not simply fly up the coast past Canada straight up to Asia, because on the flat map these countries are not West of where he started from but kind of North, I think. Or is Hawaii kind of South of his starting point? Maybe we need an indication of which way directions are so we can get an idea of North, West, South, East, North by Northwest and stuff like that. So is Africa, east or South? And the equator would be? | |

You do realize according to the made up Law of Gravity you don't actually weigh 190lbs, that is just your weight in relationship to the amount of force that gravity is pulling on you to hold you to the surface, the greater the mass the higher the force, therefore a larger mass of water has a higher gravitational force giving it more weight or some such nonsense. | |

I have a couple of questions about this flat earth. What is on the underside of the earth, How are mountains made and what about volcanoes where is the lava coming from. How come no one has ever drilled a hole through the earth. Where is all this oil coming from? What about earth quakes how are the tectonic plates moving and why? | |

Oh no boo, you need to present the entire map not a piece. According to your map Russia is south (or north, because you go north then eventually your heading south, based on the arctic circle) of Canada, since its all smudgy and worn one cant see the distance between the two, or anything written in that area, very convenient. | |

That's not problematic. That's how a globe looks when viewed from above. Though viewed from directly above, you'd only see as far down as the equator.
Actually, that illustrates the point I made earlier. Look at the equator line. If you travelled along that line, you'd circumnavigate the earth and see the same places and get back to the starting point in excactly the same way whether you were on a globe or on this flat earth model. The same goes for any of the latitudes on the proviso that you are making a slight turn which is actually what you are doing on the global earth at all latitudes except the equator.

You typed it? Oh, great font you've got there.
Thanks for the explanation though. Wouldn't have guessed whyat you meant otherwise!

Still looks like distance issues to me. Below we show the equal area projection from a point of view above the North Pole. Note that the equations given above involve a division by zero if we specify the reference latitude as 90 degrees. We can get around this using a traperror command as we have done elsewhere but in this case we avoid the problem by using a latitude that is just slightly less than 90 degrees. The resulting projection is not affected by this simple minded trick. Note, further, that the grid is constructed separately in order to avoid the appearance of some spurious lines that would otherwise appear. > p1:=changecoords(world[ng,50], `Azimuthal equal area`(1,89.999)): > p2 := removelines(coordplot(`Azimuthal equal area`(1,89.999),scaling=constrained)): > plots[display]({p1,p2}); Note how the entire surface of the earth fits into a circle. Viewed from the North Pole as done here we see that the outer "circle" is, in fact, the outline of Antarctica. Below is the equal area projection from the equator centered on North and South America. > p1:=changecoords(world[50], `Azimuthal equal area`(1,0,-90)): > plots[display]({p1});

I've never been to Hawaii. It was an option for me and the wife's 25th anniversary but we decided on a Caribbean cruise in late October of this year. I'll be sure to take pictures from the plane and how much you wanna bet the horizon will rise to eye level while we're up in the big bird? We're gonna fly in to Florida..then hit Jamaica, Caymen Islands, then Mexico. Do you remember lying in bed

That sounds awesome. Whilst onboard the cruise, make time to watch the horizon, see land mass rise up as you get closer. Look at vessels on the horizon from a low deck and then the top deck.

Yeah will do...I plan on taking my high powered bincoculars. Will ask the captain how far we are from land and then try and see the destination or landmark from 40-50 miles away..to prove the no curvature out on the sea. I'm gonna document all this to satisfy my own curiosity. It's one thing to read it in a book and another to live it. Do you remember lying in bed
