I'll post some of the most compelling evidence I have:

>EVIDENCE 1

If the sun were truly 93 million miles away, then all light that finally reached earth would have to be running parallel when it reaches us. Yet, when you see the sun's rays beaming through the clouds - at all angles - you can see that that's CLEARLY not the case. The sun's apparent movement in the sky works both ways, mathematically.

From all altitudes, as far as your eye can see, the horizon is completely flat and raises to eye level. The supposed curve of the earth is actually just the vanishing point of your vision from your perspective.

To all you indoctrinated nay sayers, here's a good one:

>EVIDENCE 5

You could measure curvature, if it actually existed. They say the round earth is 25,000 miles in circumference. So, using spherical trigonometry, the curvature figures to 8 inches per mile squared. The mile is squared so the first mile is 8 inches, 8x1x1 = 8, the second miles 8x2x2 = 32, the third mile is 8x3x3=72 etc.

This is the kind of curvature you would see on a ball 25,000 miles in circumference. Even if it were 100,000 miles in circumference there would be a measurable curve, that is just not observed except when viewed through a convex window or using a lens effect.

"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance" - Albert Einstein

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle

A lot of the biggest proponents of Flat Earth Theory are those who started out determined to prove it was wrong. So, be my guest and disprove it. Be intellectually honest and really look at the evidence.

Or don't. Be a troll. Be closed minded and mock people for seeking the truth. Curl up with your warm safety blanket of indoctrination and have a great laugh.

Simple test: try making the same visual observation using binoculars, a telescope or even a camera with zoom. It's shocking how boats that are supposedly below the Earth's curve suddenly appear with the aid of “magic” optics.

It’s all about perspective and, to a certain degree, refraction. Things start disappearing at the convergence point. At the horizon, this means from the bottom up.

In the Flat Earth model, 'gravity', rather than being a force, is the upward acceleration of the Earth. The Earth always accelerates upward at 1g, which is equivalent to the gravitational acceleration in the Round Earth model. Like the force of gravity, the Earth's acceleration causes several commonly observed phenomena in our daily lives.

Due to special relativity, this is not the case. At this point, many will question the validity of any answer which uses advanced, intimidating-sounding physics terms to explain a position. However, it is true. The relevant equation is v/c = tanh (at/c). One will find that in this equation, tanh(at/c) can never exceed or equal 1. This means that velocity can never reach the speed of light, regardless of how long one accelerates for and the rate of the acceleration.

How many pictures do we have from private enterprise and non-government agencies? How many pictures do even these have that aren't admittedly "composites"?

You can't see curvature from that height. The level of the earth escapes you before you reach the curve, Even from the ISS you cannot view the curvature of the earth. you need to go many hundreds of miles above where Geosynchronous sattelites orbit, to view curvature, or the sphere of earth. There is no where on earth within the atmosphere can you see curvature.

NASA, with all of the missions and years of the space program, only have two supposedly legitimate pictures of the earth that they actually claim are something other than "composite images". TWO.

On we go to the top 10 ways to know the Earth is unequivocally, absolutely, positively, 100% not flat:

(1) The Moon

Now that humanity knows quite positively that the Moon is not a piece of cheese or a playful god, the phenomena that accompany it (from its monthly cycles to lunar eclipses) are well-explained. It was quite a mystery to the ancient Greeks, though, and in their quest for knowledge, they came up with a few insightful observations that helped humanity figure out the shape of our planet.

Aristotle (who made quite a lot of observations about the spherical nature of the Earth) noticed that during lunar eclipses (when the Earth’s orbit places it directly between the Sun and the Moon, creating a shadow in the process), the shadow on the Moon’s surface is round. This shadow is the Earth’s, and it’s a great clue on the spherical shape of the Earth.

Since the earth is rotating (see the “Foucault Pendulum” experiment for a definite proof, if you are doubtful), the consistent oval-shadow it produces in each and every lunar eclipse proves that the earth is not only round but spherical – absolutely, utterly, beyond a shadow of a doubt not flat.
>>
(2) Ships and the Horizon

If you’ve been next to a port lately, or just strolled down a beach and stared off vacantly into the horizon, you might have, perhaps, noticed a very interesting phenomenon: approaching ships do not just “appear” out of the horizon (like they should have if the world was flat), but rather emerge from beneath the sea.

But – you say – ships do not submerge and rise up again as they approach our view (except in “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but we are hereby assuming that was a fictitious movie). The reason ships appear as if they “emerge from the waves” is because the world is not flat: it’s round. Imagine an ant walking along the surface of an orange, into your field of view. If you look at the orange “head on”, you will see the ant’s body slowly rising up from the “horizon”, because of the curvature of the Orange. If you would do that experiment with a long road, the effect would have changed: The ant would have slowly ‘materialized’ into view, depending on how sharp your vision is.
>>
3) Varying Star Constellations

This observation was originally made by Aristotle (384-322 BCE), who declared the Earth was round judging from the different constellations one sees while moving away from the equator.

After returning from a trip to Egypt, Aristotle noted that “there are stars seen in Egypt and […] Cyprus which are not seen in the northerly regions.” This phenomenon can only be explained with a round surface, and Aristotle continued and claimed that the sphere of the Earth is “of no great size, for otherwise the effect of so slight a change of place would not be quickly apparent.” (De caelo, 298a2-10)

The farther you go from the equator, the farther the ‘known’ constellations go towards the horizon, and are replaced by different stars. This would not have happened if the world was flat.

If the Earth is flat, who lives on the otherside of the Earth cookie? Can I visit them if I go to Antarctica?
>>
>>673376337

lol, you're a fucking moron. Don't breed.
>>
(4) Shadows and Sticks

If you stick a stick in the [sticky] ground, it will produce a shadow. The shadow moves as time passes (which is the principle for ancient Shadow Clocks). If the world had been flat, then two sticks in different locations would produce the same shadow.

But they don’t. This is because the earth is round, and not flat.

Eratosthenes (276-194 BCE) used this principle to calculate the circumference of the Earth quite accurately.

Foucalt's pendulum doesn't prove anything per se and the Coriolis effect is a shaky “proof”, at best. The water swirl has already been extensively debunked by Flat Earth scientists. Also, why do you think snipers don't take it into consideration when aiming at a long distance?
>>
(5) Seeing Farther from Higher

Standing in a flat plateau, you look ahead of you towards the horizon. You strain your eyes, then take out your favorite binoculars and stare through them, as far as your eyes (with the help of the binocular lenses) can see.

Then, you climb up the closest tree – the higher the better, just be careful not to drop those binoculars and break their lenses. You then look again, strain your eyes, stare through the binoculars out to the horizon.

The higher up you are the farther you will see. Usually, we tend to relate this to Earthly obstacles, like the fact we have houses or other trees obstructing our vision on the ground, and climbing upwards we have a clear view, but that’s not the true reason. Even if you would have a completely clear plateau with no obstacles between you and the horizon, you would see much farther from greater height than you would on the ground.

This phenomena is caused by the curvature of the Earth as well, and would not happen if the Earth was flat.
>>
>>673378020
How can an atmosphere exist if the earth is being forced upwards into space? Fucking tards
>>
>>673376337

But, the sun is a giant source of light. If it were that close and that large then the planet would be lit at all times. You are also making no claims as to a change or reduction in mass.

If you’ve ever taken a trip out of the country, specifically long-destination trips, you could notice two interesting facts about planes and the Earth:

Planes can travel in a relatively straight line a very long time and not fall off any edges. They can also circle the earth.

If you look out the window on a trans-Atlantic flight, you can, most of the times, see the curvature of the earth in the horizon. The best view of the curvature used to be on the Concorde, but that plane’s long gone.
>>
(7) Look at Other Planets

The Earth is different from other planets, that much is true. After all, we have life, and we haven’t found any other planets with life (yet). However, there are certain characteristics all planets have, and it will be quite logical to assume that if all planets behave a certain way, or show certain characteristics – specifically if those planets are in different places or were created under different circumstances – our planet is the same.

In other words: If so many planets that were created in different locations and under different circumstances show the same property, it’s likely that our own planet has the same property as well. All of our observations show planets are spherical (and since we know how they’re created, it’s also obvious why they are taking this shape). Unless we have a very good reason to think otherwise (which we don’t), our planet is very likely the same.

In 1610, Galileo Galilei observed the moons of Jupiter rotating around it (click here to see a beautiful video reconstruction of his observations). He described them as small planets orbiting a larger planet – a description (and observation) that was very difficult for the church to accept as it followed a geocentric model where everything was supposed to revolve around the Earth. This observation also showed that the planets (Jupiter, Neptune, and later Venus was observed too) are all spherical, and all orbit the sun.

A flat planet (ours or any other planet) would be such an incredible observation that it would pretty much go against everything we know about how planets form and behave. It would not only change everything we know about planet formation, but also about star formation (as our sun would have to behave quite differently to accustom a “flat earth” theory), what we know of speeds and movements in space (like planets orbits, and the effects of gravity, etc). In short, we don’t just suspect that our planet is spherical. We know it

(8) The Existence of Timezones

The time in New York, at the moment these words are written, is 12:00pm. The sun is in the middle of the sky (though it’s hard to see with the current cloud coverage). In Beijing, where Michael Phelps is likely getting ready for yet another gold medal, it’s 12:00am, midnight, and the sun is nowhere to be found.

In Adelaide, Australia, it is 1:30am. More than 13 hours ahead. There, the sunset is long gone – so much so, that it’s soon going to rise up again in the beginning of a new day.

This can only be explained if the world is round, and rotating around its own axis. At a certain point when the sun is shining on one part of the Earth, the opposite side is dark, and vise versa. That allows for time differences and timezones, specifically ones that are larger than 12 hours.

Another point concerning timezones, the sun and flat/spherical Earth: If the sun was a “spotlight” (very directionally located so that light only shines on a specific location) and the world was flat, we would have seen the sun even if it didn’t shine on top of us. The same way you can see the light coming out of a spotlight on a stage in the theater, even though you – the crowd – are in the dark. The only way to create two distinctly separate timezones, where there is complete darkness in one while there’s light in the other, is if the world is spherical.

(9) The Center of Gravity

There’s an interesting fact about mass: it attracts things to it. The force of attraction (gravity) between two objects depends on their mass and the distance between them. Simply said, gravity will pull toward the center of mass of the objects. To find the center of mass, you have to examine the object.

Consider a sphere. Since a sphere has a consistent shape, no matter where on it you stand, you have exactly the same amount of sphere under you. Imagine an ant (perhaps the same one from the previous point) walking around on a crystal ball. Assuming the crystal ball is polished, the ant’s only indication of movement would be the fact it’s moving its feet. The scenery (and shape of the surface) would not change at all.

Consider a flat plane. The center of mass of a flat plane is in its center (more or less – if you want to be more accurate, feel free to do the entire [shriek] integration [shriek] process), and the force of gravity will pull a person toward the middle of the plain. That means that if you stand on the edge of the plane, gravity will be pulling you toward the middle, not straight down like you usually experience.

I am quite positive that even for Australians an apple falls downwards, but if you have your doubts, I urge you to try it out – just make sure it’s nothing that can break or hurt you. Just in case gravity is consistent after all.

(10) Images from Space

In the past 60 years of the space exploration era of humanity’s history, we’ve launched satellites, probes and people to space. Some of them got back, some of them still float through the solar system (and almost beyond it) and transmit amazing images over to our receivers on Earth.

Here’s a list of some of the pictures we’ve seen from space throughout the years:

October 24, 1946: A group of scientists in the New Mexico desert saw the first grainy photo of the Earth. The photograph was taken from a height of 65 miles (104.6 kilometers) by a 35-millimeter motion picture camera riding on a V-2 missile.

August 14, 1959: First crude photo of the Earth from the Explorer VI satellite. The photo showed a sun-lit area of the Pacific ocean and cloud coverage. It was taken from about 17,000 miles (27,350 kilometers) above the surface.

June 5, 1966: Astronaut Eugene Cernan took this amazing picture of Gemini 9 and the Earth during his EVA (Extravehicular Activity). The spacecraft itself and Cernan’s “umbilical” (the cord that keeps him connected to the spacecraft’s systems) are visible on top of a beautiful background of the Earth.

August 23, 1966: First view of Earth from the Moon. This picture was taken by Lunar Orbiter I when the spacecraft was on its 16th orbit and was just about to pass behind the Moon.

December 29, 1966: A spectacular view of the rising Earth from the Moon, taken by the crew of Apollo 8 after coming out from the other side of the Moon, approximately 239,000 miles (384,000 kilometers) from Earth.

December 1, 1968: Photo of Earth from Apollo 8. This photograph was taken by an 80-mm lense, at a point very close to the Moon.

More pictures from the NASA Missions throughout the years can be found at NASA GRIN Website: http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/index.html

More Methods Throughout History

Abu Rayhan Biruni (sometimes known as “The Father of Geodesy“), has managed to calculate the circumference of the Earth using complex triangulation equations. I couldn’t find the actual calculation, or the method, so I can’t judge it this as a relatively easy “DIY” way to do it, but it’s still worth mentioning. If anyone has any more information about the method used, do post in the comments.
Bedford Level Experiment: At the Bedford river in Norfolk, England. The experiments were done initially in order to prove that the Earth is flat. Though the first results of this experiment seemed to agree with the flat-earth contention, later attempts to repeat this experiment agreed with the fact that the Earth is, in fact, spherical.

Brief List of Manned Missions to Space

In the past 60 years humanity’s quest for Space has produced hundreds of pictures, videos and audio records from more than just the United States. Some of these countries used to be enemies. Some still are. The amount of proofs, from opposing countries and ‘sides’, for the non-flatness of the Earth, if nothing else, should cast serious doubt on any possibility for the existance of “Global Conspiracy”. Here is an abbreviated list of some of the first missions to space:

April 12, 1961 (USSR; Vostok-1): Yuri Gagarin, becomes first man in space.
May 5, 1961 (USA; Mercury-3): Alan Shepard becomes first American in space.
July 21, 1961 (USA; Mercury-4): Gus Grissom performs the second sub-orbital flight at an altitude of 126 miles (203 kilometers).
August 6, 1961 (USSR; Vostok-2): Gherman Titov becomes the first man to spend an entire day in space.
February 20, 1962 (USA; Mercury-6): John Glenn orbits the Earth at a distance of 100-162 miles (161-261 kilometers).
May 24, 1962 (USA; Mercury-7): Scott Carpenter orbits the Earth three times.
August 11, 1962 (USSR; Vostok-3): Andrian Nikolayev leads the first four-day flight, and first “group” flight with Vostok-4.
August 12, 1962 (USSR; Vostok-4): Pavel Popovich mans the other half of the “group” flight with Vostok-4.
October 3, 1962 (USA; Mercury-8): Walter Schirra orbits the Earth six times.
May 15, 1963 (USA; Mercury-9): Gordon Cooper pilots the longest (and last) Mercury mission, lasting 34 hours in space.
June 14, 1963 (USSR; Vostok-5): Valery Bykovsky is the first to stay 5 days in space.
June 16, 1963 (USSR, Vostok-6): Valentina Tereshkova becomes the first woman in space, spending three days in orbit.

Oh, also, they are indeed much smaller than they are thought to be (the sun and moon, that is). Before you ask how they are held up in the sky, I'll go ahead and tell you.

Quantum trapping. The magnetic force of the earth, sun and moon make the objects levitate and glide without any friction, roughly along the Capricorn and Cancer belts. These are all positively charged while the sea is negatively charged, which explains the Meisner effect.

This thread is really tiring. Instead of discussing, you people just attack. Anyway, as far as the Lunar Eclipse goes, there is no evidence that the shadow which manifests on the moon during a Lunar Eclipse originates from the earth at all. That shadow could come from any celestial body intersecting the light between the sun and moon.

The only reason the Greeks and ancients (and modern astronomers) are able to predict the Lunar Eclipses was because the predictions are based on recurring charts and tables of past eclipses. It had nothing to do with the shape of the earth or the actual geometry of the cosmos. The Lunar Eclipse is a phenomenon which comes in patterns. By studying these patterns it is possible to predict when the next transit or eclipse will occur. The astronomer can use historic charts and tables with a few equations to predict the time, magnitude, and duration of a future eclipse.

This does not apply only to the eclipse, either: All recurring phenomena such as the transits of planets, occultations of bodies, and precision of paths across the sky are predicable only because they are phenomenons which come in patterns. Astronomers predict celestial events by studying the patterns and predicting when the next occurrence will occur.

So, the earth being flat, it's safe yo assume that these otger entities are flat as well? If that's the case then how does nuclear fusion on the sun, or any star for that matter work? How do the keep their shape. Accelerating up wards at earthly rates would mean that all the material would float out due to fusion. Also. How is there less gravity on the moon? Does it move slower than the earth? This woild mean that the sun moves faster right? Surely, because gravity is stronger there. If thats the case, wouldn't it just leave us behind? If they glide with no friction and are constantly accelerating up then how fast is our total accumulative speed upwards?

Well, I thought it was obvious by now. The Sun is at 3000 miles in altitude and the Moon is slightly below it.

The Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun. The Solar Eclipse does not occur everywhere on earth at once. It occurs only on a narrow strip of land.

The people who can see the sun during the event are not located on this narrow strip. They are looking at an angle where the two do not line up.

>If that's the case then how does nuclear fusion on the sun, or any star for that matter work? How do the keep their shape. Accelerating up wards at earthly rates would mean that all the material would float out due to fusion.
Wouldn't know.

>Also. How is there less gravity on the moon?
That's what you've been TOLD. Nobody has ever been there.

>Does it move slower than the earth? This woild mean that the sun moves faster right?
They (sun and moon) move pretty fast, hovering above the earth. This has been addressed in multiple posts.

>Surely, because gravity is stronger there. If thats the case, wouldn't it just leave us behind?
Doesn't make sense.

>If they glide with no friction and are constantly accelerating up then how fast is our total accumulative speed upwards?
It is a common misconception that if we were to continuously accelerate over time, we would eventually be moving faster than the speed of light. This is of course, incorrect as nothing with mass may do so.

According to the Special theory of Relativity, the Earth can accelerate forever without reaching or passing the speed of light. Relative to an observer on Earth, the Earth's acceleration will always be 1g. Relative to an inertial observer in the universe, however, the Earth's acceleration decreases as the its velocity approaches c. It all depends on our frame of reference to measure and explain the Earth's motion. Thus, despite what most people think, there is no absolute "speed" or velocity of the Earth.

>What are quarks?
This one I actually know, a quark is the quantum measure (is basically just the smallest possible thing) of matter, meaning it cannot be made up of anything smaller, as of now.
>How are they different from other subatomic particles?
They are different since they are so tinier. Protons and Neutrons keep together by another force than the quarks inside the protons. The difference are that different rules apply. e.g. you can know the rules of how a team is placed in the charts in football cups, but a smaller part of the football cup, the matches themselves, have different rules.
>How does quantum mechanics correlated with classical physics?
Calssical physics are more convenient ways to say the same thing, because in the quantum world things are so small that to get it accurate, you must know of an exact position and exact rules that apply.

Well, there are formulae for calculating the rate of gravity bassed on mass which is where that 1g figure came from. Using those same formulae. You can get a fairly accurate rate of gravity.


I never said that we were moving at or near the speed of light, i just asked what our accumulative speed upwards was.

So, what you are saying is that they aren,t planets but flaotibg points of light? That explanation made zero sense to me. It was a bunch of words strewn together.


One more question. What's the 'engine' driving us upwards, and what is it's observable reaction.

Protip: if your theory does not explain how the sun works then it probably fails to hold water else where. Look into that.

Wow! Thread's still alive. Guess I'll answer a few then.

No one knows for sure. Many speculate Admiral Byrd found "the end of the world" in his Antarctic expeditions, and hence the Antarctic treaty and why we’re not allowed to freely roam about in any sort of independent expedition.

The theory that sounds most reasonable to me is that we are in an enclosed dome under a firmament but there is no way to know for sure. Also, the Van Allen radiation belt could act as an effective dome.
>>
>>673383432
It's made to be convincing if you don't understand anything that they're saying. For instance, in a flat earth, going to the edge would cause the gravity to become slanted (as per the video I linked). Please tell me, have you ever seen or felt that sensation while traveling? I'm sure OP is some kid that stays shut up in his room and never travels outside of his city. Anyone that has traveled by plan over a long distance can tell you that you fly in one direction, you don't curve off while flying. That simply would not happen on a flat earth.

I'm fairly sure tens of thousands of people have flown long distances longitudinal, you brought up an edge being in antarctica, which I'll agree, might be as not many people passed through there, but if you're implying the earth is a disc, it's be extremely impossible to hide it from so many people

Please provide proof with a valid source that says that. The treaty protects it for scientific research and DOES NOT mention people are not allowed to roam. Given the average human does not have the money to fund such a project, however the treaty does not prevent anyone from going there because NO ONE OWNS THE LAND.
I ask again, if the earth is flat where is the edge? You can provide proof because there is no edge. all you have said is a lie. Something that is flat has an edge

I think asking flat earthers to do a proof that is expensive and hard to do won't work.

How about those flat earthers in the southern hemisphere can empirically test the flat earth model. since magnets will always point to the center of the map, you can follow the longitudinal lines and see how far apart they are. If the flat earth model is correct, in the southern hemisphere the lines will be further apart. We would expect them to get closer together in a spherical (oblate spheroid) model.

While it's true that unipolar magnets can't exist, this isn't a problem for the Flat Earth. This is because ring magnets, which are shaped like (you guessed it!) a flat disk, are capable of having radial magnetization. In a radial magnet, one magnetic pole is at the center and other other is at all points on the edge of the magnet. A magnet like this can be found in loudspeakers, and perfectly replicates what is found on the Earth.

If you look at the flat earth map that they love to use, the lines going north and south only converge when you head towards the middle of the map. You should be able to test these lines in the southern hemisphere, thereby proving the map wrong. I'm not sure how a circular magnet proves this proof wrong maybe I'm misunderstanding.

Not my fault you don't understand basic physics.

>>673386518
There is a continual pressure of the atmosphere upon the Earth. Associating it with the fact that the Earth is a vast plane ‘stretched out upon the waters,’ it MUST, of necessity, slightly fluctuate. As by the action of the atmosphere the Earth is slowly depressed, the water moves towards the receding shore and produces the flood tide; and when by the reaction of the resisting oceanic medium the Earth gradually ascends the waters recede, and the ebb tide is produced.

Evidence 1. If the sun were not 149.6 million km away, then the Inverse-Square Law of light would begin to take effect. if it were in fact, say ,30 km above as so often claimed by these scientific illiterates, then when it were midday in Ohio, it would be twilight in NY State and Colorado.

furthermore acurate measurement of Crepuscular rays will show that they are parallel, and that it is perspective that makes their convergence appear to be closer.

Flat earth is misleading. What they mean is that the earth is a terrarium with the north pole at the center, Antarctica encircling, and a glass like dome covering it.
The round earth cannot be magnetic, it's temperature is above Curie point for iron. A magnetic mountain at the center of the terranium is much more plausible.

>>673397211
>NASA linear aircraft models use flat, stationary earth for calculations. Therefore flat earth is truth
Because to an aircraft travelling around the earth, it for all intents and purposes is flat, because the plane follows the curvature of the Earth due to gravity, just as with satellites. The plane maintains a constant altitude (always parallel with surface) so the maths etc involved would be the same as if the Earth were flat, so no need to add the complexity of a sphere.

And yeah, not gonna watch 15 mins of videos for you. Gravitation is not hard to understand.
Mass distorts spacetime, causes a pseudo "non-contact" force, causes massive object to be attracted to each other...
Pulls large things into rough spheres. Nothing difficult to explain about that. Where do you think the difficulty is?

Flat earth = satellites fall over. Fuck man, you could compare GPS satellite timing pulses and determine the shape of the earth from that.

I think it's a pretty important and tell tale sign that something funny is going on when NASA is using aircraft flight models that suggest a "flat, non rotating earth."

That seems like a pointless exercise with the consideration that the aircraft willbe expected to fly in a globular, rotating model.

In short, this attempted rebuttal actually does nothing to explain why NASA would model this environment in the first place.

There's theoretical math and then there's practical math. Flat earth is practical and observed.
Dumb fuck

>"Observed"
You're whole basis for this argument is that there is "no evidence" for a Round Earth. I have yet to see an aerial photograph of the entire earth being flat, only drawings and diagrams.

There's been no evidence to suggest things stick together from mass alone. Otherwise the sun would pull everything in. Mass and gravity is like the chicken before the egg. Gravity just doesn't work on round earth theories. >>673399188

The only things accelerating upwards here are my sides.

Dumb faggy white boy dont know shit.
99 percent of all communication is land based, including GPS. Stratelights are real, but satalites are an impossibility due to outstanding radience of the sun would melt the components, particularly gallium arsenide: the conductor for solar panels.

Whether the planet is rotating or not makes no difference to a plane. If you're in a car going at a constant speed, it doesn't affect your movements. If you're on a planet rotating at a constant rate, you don't need to take it into account. A hovering helicopter is still relative to the Earth, it doesn't have to propel itself to keep up with Earth's rotation. It retains it's momentum from when it was on the ground.

Same goes for curvature of the the Earth. As far as the plane is concerned, it's flying in a straight line. Gravity keeps it parallel to the earth. The pilot doesn't constantly have to point the nose down slightly to maintain his altitude.

I am not the dumb fuck here.

I assure you gravity does not keep the plane stuck to the earth. You are retarded as fuck kid. You are playing way above your league.

Go learn how orbits work.

>Mass and gravity is like the chicken before the egg.
Wrong, (according to theoretical physics) gravitation decoupled from the rest of the 4 fundamental forces before the strong nuclear force. So gravitation has existed mass.
If you're talking the observable area of whether gravity causes mass or mass causes gravity, only the latter is true. There is no "chicken and egg case".
Mass generates gravitational wells.
Gravity does not generate mass, it just affects it.

Tell me how you think gravitation can't work on a spherical Earth.

Caused by what force?

>This means that velocity can never reach the speed of light, regardless of how long one accelerates for and the rate of the acceleration.

You're also failing to take into account the fact that as something approaches the speed of light, it's mass increases. So we should either detect an increase in volume or density of the Earth. Do we? No.

As you approach the speed of light, the energy (force) required to maintain the same acceleration increases exponentially, so not only does your model require a driving force, but a force increasing in magnitude.

>>673401607
I never said it keeps it stuck, I said it maintains the plane at it's altitude.
The plane is producing a constant magnitude of lift and it's experiencing a constant force due to gravity, so long as you keep the two forces balanced, your altitude will remain the same.
Show me how I'm wrong. Pro tip, you can't.
