Can we please stop with the bullshit! The earth is round, and any idiot can prove it. Get out flight planning software. Draw 3 direct legs between any 3 cities returning to your point of departure on the last leg. (Make them at least 2000 nautical miles apart to get sufficient resolution) Add the interior angles between the legs. Guess what? They are MORE THAN 180 degrees. That can ONLY happen on a positively curved surface. And since it works between ANY 3 cities in the entire world, the earth can only be an ellipsoid. QED.
Cue the trolls trying to say that flight planning software lies to you, and that every pilot and airline in the world (including private and independent pilots) are actually in on the conspiracy. Ohh....any every ship captain as well. Not to mention the tens of thousands of engineers who work on satellites. And every astronomer.
One last time: you do not need to go to orbit to prove CONCLUSIVELY the earth is round. You need only know basic Riemann geometry. So if you really want to say that 2+2=5...knock yourself out and continue in your delusion the Earth is flat.
Just do it on conspiracies.win and stay off of this board.
Planes do not compensate for the curvature of the earth this video clearly proves that by very credible Navy pilots so had you watched it you wouldn't have had to text all that BS you just texted
I watched it. Their issue is that they assume that the gyroscope shows your relative orientation to a flat plane surface. It doesnt, it shows your relative position to the center of the earth. It would look like climbing if they kept a true straight heading. So their compensation that they think you would have to do is actually just the angle you would need to be the same elevation constantly.
