Ya'll Niccas Sleeping because the Earth is not a Globe... THE EARTH IS FLAT!!!

i think i actually understand what OP is trying to say.

he's saying that though planets appear to be spheres, they actually arent....if i understand correctly he's saying its like looking into a big bowl (for lack of a better way to describe it)

if i got it wrong....someone break it down for me :lol:
 
Elaborate bruh. This is new to me.

first of all fam, im no aviation expert but i believe they avoid the jet streams because they are very turbulent. So for the most part they fly around them. which causes those loops you posted.
 
IIRC, they take the path that offers the least resistance and drag. I've always wondered whenever I flew back from England, the pilot always flew over Nova Scotia and then turned south towards Atlanta. Never understood that route.

Cool. Do the jet streams always flow in the same direction?

Because Novia Scotia is ridiculously close to New England at that latitude of 60 degrees north. Atlanta is at a latitude around 33 degrees north. The circumference of the Earth is longer at lower latitudes. It makes all the sense in the world for a pilot to go through Novia Scotia, then fly south to ATL.

ugh no man...dude clearly said the earth is flat in CAPS!!!

if i was a mod id ban his ass for 24hrs for being this damn stupid

I feel you on that, but you know way more than I do. On that map I posted it looks like some flights fly directly with and even against the jet streams though. That's why I asked woodchuck do they change directions.
 
Flight paths. If the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, why do planes travel in this manner? Wouldn't it save a lot of fuel to just go straight? If you turn this map like the map in the OP, do these become straight lines? Science isn't my thing, but I love shit like this, I'm a Scorpio. :lol: Somebody explain please.

You posted this on page one.

How the fuck are you gonna post that link which answers ya questions then turn around and ask the same questions again? Did you not read your own link? Oh I get it you're trolling.

You're the expert fam. Break down definitely why the OP is wrong, in laymen's terms if you don't mind.
 
How then is it that, with my own eyes, I can see the curvature of the Earth while standing on the bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan here in Milwaukee. I've been to other locations in the world with a vantage point where this can be observed out on the horizon.

In Afghanistan, there were mountain ridges that were so tall that at sunrise, you could see the corona of the sun with the naked eye. It was amazing to see...awe inspiring to say the least. There would be 5 minutes of twilight and then "click" the Sun popped up as though someone literally said "Let there be light!".
 
Because the earth is not flat. The earth is spherical. The earth has a shorter distance in higher latitudes. So a plane's flight is arched because higher latitudes means a shorter distances.

In all honestly man, I want to break it down, but you'd be better off asking me a question versus me trying to debunk the OP. What he said is so absurd, I would have to write you a physical science book.

:lol::cool:

Is there any way possible that it could be true? One small crack in the evidence?
 
I'm waiting for part two of this thread: "COPERNICUS AIN'T SHIT - The Sun Revolves Around the Earth! :angry:"
 
:lol::cool:

Not even a small crack.

In science, we go through great efforts to make sure our reasoning and statements are backed with facts of measurement. NASA and NOAA spends billions of dollars to send up satellites to observe our Earth from all angles. If the OP want people to believe, then he is going to have to come a lot harder than what he presented. "Claims" of two Photoshopped images and his so called proof based on a "stereographic polar map projection" of earth is not convincing enough for me and many others in this thread.
 
Just got this from a poster who wished to remain anonymous. The real reason flight paths are designed the way they are. Peace, bruh. :cool:

Planes do not fly in straight vectors to and from destinations because when the routes were created, aircraft ground control personnel were sparse. Radar was relatively new radar had huge coverage gaps, and pre computers / early computer system didn't have the ability to track thousands of aircraft flying the same routes.

To lessen the workload, they created layers of sky "lanes" (routes) which can only be occupied through rights management by certain airlines. These routes are often very indirect and bounce from concentric rings of radar zone to radar zone so there are no gaps in flight coverage.

Military air traffic and personal craft flying under 1,000 are the only air traffic that can fly direct routes. Military aircraft typically fly over 35,000 ft so they're not interfering with commercial which stay between 10,000 and 30,000 ft.

Anything above this has to radio in to air traffic control and accept their heading and vector instructions.

GPS has now made it possible now to track aircraft from wheels up to wheels down no matter where and computer systems can now handle the amount of flight and data to manage thousands of aircraft in the air at the same time. As such, there has been a major ongoing overhaul in the FAA to update flight lanes and routes to take the most efficient and direct flight plan possible.

The program is named in NexTgen.

This will cut down on fight times (they estimate a direct NY to LA flight will now take 30-40 minutes less) but more importantly reduce the amount of fuel needed for each flight which should translate into cost savings for us, the consumer.

But planes don't fly in a straight line. I'm not cosigning the OP. I'm just a firm believer in the fact that I/We don't KNOW anything so I don't automatically dismiss something because I've never heard it.
I was really hoping I could use a metaphor and you'd understand it. That is my fault for making that assumption.
Answer: It is shorter to fly the Great Circle route than a straight line due to the circumference of the earth being so much greater at the equator than near the poles
You are on some bullshit, but I'll let you hang yourself before I comment...

I'll go with the couple thousand years of science over whatever youtube video you stumbled across today that inspired you to create this shit for brains thread.
 
Considering how everything in modern science is theory, I don't laugh at anything because it doesn't fit into my world view...

Give it time Bruh... There's a method involved...

The haters come first to feed, you know how it goes....

True niccas will come after reviewing infomation...

Just like YOU have... BE PATIENT...
 
Side note: just who the fuck runs Redbull and why are they involved in everything from music to sports to space travel now???

I'm a reverse skeptic, bruh. :lol: I'll listen to anything until it's proven that there's absolutely no way it can be possible. The quicker people attack it without providing evidence to the contrary always sparks my interest in the topic further. :cool:

But you didn't state it as a metaphor, you stated it as fact. I googled it and was intrigued to find out that planes usually don't fly in straight lines. I didn't know this. I don't understand why this thread is making yall so angry, though. :lol:
 
So pictures from satellites in space are wrong too?

Can you PROVE that they are REAL pictures from satellites???

Or are you believing in LYING-ASS-NASA who will fake ANYTHING to get your TAX DOLLARS???

(I can show you vids of Nasa insiders exposing NASA and their LYING-ASS WAYS to an extent). Do you really want to go there???'

yes yes we do
 
thought provoking time...


Yall ready to go...??


Lets go....


So lets say the earth is a sphere, then at point

on this earth can we stand to see the horizon curve....??


what beach in the world can I lay on and stare at a curved horizon??


If the earth is round why do we even have an horizon??


Horizon comes from horizontal and I know what people say, I seen all the

equations and shit.. but I know what I see...



picture-of-horizontal-linesB.png




so just let me know, where can I stand on this planet to see its curve...???



I aint saying the earth is flat, I aint saying its round..


I AM saying we been lied to about every gotdam thing, and nasa is the last

bunch of hired whores you would want to trust.


So where can I stand or lay on a beach, or sail to see this curve??


I say

all I will see is a straight line(horizon), and there is NO straight line

outlining anything ROUND!!


get them thoughts cranking son!!
