Flat Earth Theory / Re: Aeroplanes

Friction.

Edit: Is not a proposal, it's a fact. How does a desk fan propel air into your face? (solid vs gas). How you could not answer this question yourself is frightening.

Axial-flow fans do not rely on friction, other than perhaps to get blades going in the first place (although even that is unnecessary - a few electromagnets will sort you out). The air, much like anything else, can be pushed in a hypothetical frictionless environment.

It's appalling that you'd try to mislead others and shame them for their alleged lack of knowledge, only to then spout this kind of nonsense.

The science and education systems have not taken Harry Potter serious either. There's a reason for that! It's fantasy!

Do you have anything to add to this discussion, or do you just intend on saying that you think the Earth is round over and over again?

If you will check it out you will find that the map usually shown is simply a copy of the Unipolar Azimuthal Equidistant Projection of the globe.

Do you have any evidence to support this notion, or did you just look at two images and decided that since they look similar, then the Earth must be round?

Apparently this plane is so goddamn lost that people are now accidentally finding 19th century shipwrecks instead.

Sorry, I'm a wordy guy. I won't force myself to arbitrarily restrict my messages' if that would put the actual message at risk. They're short enough as they are.

You may find Orlando Ferguson's map to be more illustrative. It's my personal favourite.

Can you please give me a straight answer? Use either a "yes" or a "no".

Were you wrong when you claimed that it's caused by refraction?

all the flightpaths you use as examples of "shorter routes on a globe" to mystify globe earth actually exist

Please substantiate this outlandish claim.

So, for clarity, you do agree that the issue mentioned in the OP would not be caused by refraction under the Round Earth model?

Perhaps you could clarify,  do you think there is refraction when looking close to the horizon?

Of course. It's just entirely impossible for it to cause a magnification effect on the Sun, regardless of the Earth's shape.

To clarify, are you taking this statement back?

Nice proof of a globe earth,  it's a refractive effect caused by the curvature of the earth's atmosphere.

But that's not my argument.

You don't have an argument, sweetheart. Allow me to summarise:

-Where's your proof?
-On our wiki. Try starting with the FAQ.
-LOL I DON'T CARE!

Good one.

I didn't fail to read the FAQs, I failed to give a shit about the FAQs.

Yes, I said that rather early on. Why are you fighting for my side of the argument here?

Sweetheart, you're the one who's failed to read here. That's why you made a thread to ask a question already addressed in the FAQ.
