Here is the video that got me to investigate the flat earth: It's long but well worth it:

A Flat Earth has no equator. It's proven that toilets flow in different directions above/below the equator. If the Earth has no equator, why do toilets flow in different directions in different countries?

if anyone doubts the flat earth theory i recommend they watch the movie "Dark City". really, i think it explains everything

toilets flow in different directions??? lol uh huh. that really proves we live on a spinning ball. What determines water flow is the angle of the water as it leaves comes flowing out and the directional movement of the sink or tub. That old trick has been proved to be a fraud!

Isn't that sad, people have to resort to that arguement. Indoctrination is a son of a b**** !!!!

Show me the proof. Otherwise my Bazinga! stands.

Actually, water DOES swirl differently in Australia because of what you said (the direction of the jets). So THAT Bazinga is hereby retracted.

HOWEVER, while researching what ultimately became the first Bazinga Retraction In History, I found that the Coriolis Effect actually DOES make hurricanes swirl in opposite directions depending on what side of the Equator they are on. And researching this led me to the discovery of the Foucault pendulum. Check it out in Wikipedia, while I do this:

I read the plot summary, and just the plot summary made my head swim. I can only imagine what a mind-trick the actual movie is!

You guys are still arguing this? The flat map is a skewed rep of a global map, the numbers are just slightly off that the average person wouldn't detect it. What more needs to said, inaccurate data is being used to prove a point. Engineers do account for the curvature of the Earth. And yes, NASA does use a lot of CGI (or artist representations) in space images, anybody with any sense knows that and why.

Here is the video that got me to investigate the flat earth: It's long but well worth it:

You were going to investigate the direct 13 hour flights from New Zealand to South America, the flights that would be impossible on your flat earth map model due to the distance the map shows. These flights prove your map is impossible and therefore alone debunks the model. How did you go with your investigation? It's not a time consuming excercise. It's just a quick trip to any flight booking website. Your continued silence on this point is very telling. You've also ignored my comments regarding the sun and how it appears in shape and size at sunrise and sunset and the fact That it drops over the horizon. That also proves your model is incorrect. You'll need a new model for a flat earth, one that accounts for these two things. I look forward to that. If you expect to be taken seriously then you need to acknowledge that the model needs some major ammendments.

This may answer your question about the flights:

Those flights you mentioned (13 hour flights) are dummy flights..they never actually leave. 99% of the other flights go through North America, which makes no sense!

Holy shit. You're getting desperate. At least we're making progress I suppose. You obviously get that those flights destroy your myth so you've resorted to claiming they don't exist. Let me reiterate what I said earlier. I work in the travel industry in New Zealand. I've flown one of those flights and after 8 days in Argentina, I flew back. Many of my colleagues and clients have flown those flights so I'm sorry but you're wrong. However, If you can link to a travel booking site and or name the airline, a date and a flight number that flies from NZ to South America via North America, I'll check that out because you're right, no single flight number would ever take that route if the world was a globe. You won't find it because they don't exist. BUT if you can find one I'll buy you a ticket on it. It's all moot though as the flights that you yourself agree would bust your myth DO exist so, to paraphrase Rodeo. Ba'mother fucking"zinga.

Now, you may like to take note of flight LA801 that is due to depart from Santiago to Auckland in an hour or so. It's due to arrive in Auckland at 4.15 AM on the 19th September NZ time. Keep an eye on the Auckland arrivals page on the airport website and if not's cancelled then uh oh.

Oh, what's this. An email I got 4 days ago from a corporate client of mine. You buffoon.

Thanks for checking and for organizing the flights.

Yes -- everything went well. All flights were on time.

However LAN Chile economy class for 13 hours (return to AKL) was rather tiring...

Best wishes,

Nick

This may answer your question about the flights:

OMG, I just watched that. It's fucking priceless. This guy shows the flights on his search engine and then proclaims "But I don't think the flights are real, they are just there to put guys like me off" Oh, well, I guess that can be the answer to any conflicting evidence.

The stupidity in this clip almost had me in tears. Though I was able to laugh at his pronunciation of Maritius. "Mareedus" Guys like this are who you learn from Funkcreep? What a fucking tragedy. Your old school board should be so ashamed of themselves.

Buy a damn ticket and fly the thing then you can join the rest of humanity on this beatiful globe It can't be hard to verify these flights exist if you're genuinly interested in seeking truth right?

Aint evidence a bitch.

A spherical drop? It follows a sphere. It doesn't "drop" at all. It's the same heigth above the Earth for its entire 104-mile distance.

By the way, you have yet to explain the curvature of the Earth shown in your own picture (the bottom image, looking out over the ocean):



Therefore, I can only say:

I will be flying to Mauritius on Dec 11. From Australia.

I will time it (using a stopwatch) and look out the window, because if I am going up over the northern hemisphere I will see all the lights and landmasses of the other continents I will be passing over. I will also note the speed. On FlightRadar24 I can see most pan-pacific airliners in the northern hemisphere are doing speeds ranging from 470-520 knots. My Mauritius flight should theoretically be going at least twice that speed so that I can get there (from Perth) in only 8 hours. That's faster than the concorde (which was only ever going at Mach 2.02). Pretty good for an A332!

I asked Wendy and Lisa about flying on the concorde and they told me "you go so fast you can see the (obviously false - aspherical distortion perhaps?) curvature of the earth" out of the window - I can't wait!!!

Crap, looks like my Mareedus flight is just direct without any exciting detours

Yeah, ,good luck with that. Apparently that flight doesn't really exist, so maybe you should go to the goldie instead. It was so funny watching that clip. The Mereedus guy (the guy funkcreep gets his education from) was all confused why there was a 20 hour stop in "Mereedus" on route from Jo'burg to Perth. It's because it's two separate trips. They just sell them together to people that want those routes so you're stuck with the timetables for each destination. Much like changing trains or busses at a hub. Anyway. Have a great time and a safe flight, particularly as that flight is impossible.

Thanks Shane

Mauritius only has that Perth flight once or twice a week I think, I'm surprised it's not longer than a 20 hour layover! It's a pretty tiny place, you can drive across it in an hour, not a lot of through-traffic I imagine. There were also flights available via Dubai, and not only do they take a lot longer, but they also cost a lot more

We flew to Buenos Aires in 2001 and that was with a short stop in Auckland to refuel. Straight across the southern pacific - no landmasses visible along the way. Took about 18 hours including the stop from memory

and as to why there are only direct Joburg flights from Sydney, it's due to demand. Perth is kind of a small place and really, there isn't enough demand to have that route.

Actually, Jo'burg to Perth direct does run. Operated daily by South African Airways. Direct and 9hrs 20 minutes. (and yes, it does go) Though the flat earth map shows the distance between the two is the same as Auckland to London which takes 24 hours. Thanks for the reminder. Another nail in the coffin of the presented flat earth model.

Had my honymoon in Mauritius... er sorry.... Mereedus. I can confirm direct flights from all major hubs fly there, including Oz, US, Dubai, SA, Europe, South America and East Asia. Obviously they use supersonic aircraft with gargantuan fuel tanks for places like Oz, what with the eart being flat and all.
