Flat Earth Theory / Re: The Conspiracy Theory of Space Travel being a Hoax
« on: February 29, 2024, 01:30:56 PM »I already made my statement.They have not been making non-stop flights to Johannesburg from London for that long.Where is your evidence for this?
Also, need I remind that your question was:QuoteHow long have they been able to fly non-stop from London to Johannesburg?
The 707 was able in 1950. If you wanted a different answer, you should have asked a different question.
Long-distance travel routes have not varied significantly since their inception.
And they haven't.
Your own post showing Lindbergh's route clearly demonstrates that.
Introducing a prior multistop route into the discussion of a long-distance non-stop route is typical of the BS you try to interject into any examination of issues conducted in the threads on these boards. Your style is tiresome and weary and isn't worth the effort.When you compare those routes when they started to what they fly now, they are essentially the same, as I stated.In what way is the route from London to Johannesburg the same today as it was in 1930?
Confirming my response then. The long-distance routes today used by airliners have changed very little.In your original response, you chose to provide the route taken by Lindbergh, which...SURPRISE!!!...doesn't vary much from what is taken now. Projection?No, not projection at all. Is that another word you have trouble with?
Go back and read that post. I specifically said it was like the route they take today. I was using it as an example of one of the first great circle routes. Here's a reminder:Quote from: BillOSome routes starting in the late 1930s when planes had more range, like Lindberg's flight from NY to Paris, did roughly use great circles. Those are still in use today (a bit more accurate though), but their geometry would make little sense on a flat earth.
Not hardly, as the sphere that should be labeled as such by them is NOT the earth, but the celestial sphere above.Yeah, one of the holes is using the dimensions of a spherical earth to arrive at a conclusion.Yes, thanks for pointing that out, and not only is not a "hole" it proves their point as when they use a flat earth is does NOT work.
Your getting like Ranty now, working hard to prove the earth is round!! Keep it up buddy!
Try harder next time.
