I doubt this question's been asked...

If so, I apologize, and please direct me to the thread in which it's been discussed. I read the guidelines for posting, and I don't think this is a commonly asked (or thought of) question.

Well, I would assume that FE proponents agree with the rest of us that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, no matter what our earth looks like. This, for the most part, is how airplanes fly. If the earth were flat, planes would take a slightly different route to get from A to B than if we lived on a round earth. Wouldn't a quick look at both maps from each earth-shape and any trans-continental flight plan clear up this whole issue?

I look forward to any answers.

Thanks.

In a word, no.  You see, all compasses are attracted to magnetic North which is the center of the world.  When a plane flies, it bases it's heading on the direction of the compass.  The pilot THINKS they are going in a straight direction, but they are not.  They are actually flying in circles.  The government has special compasses that know how to disregard magnetic north and THOSE planes can fly in a straight line from point A to point B.  But they are mostly used in spy missions.  Russia was the first country (in modern times) to discover how to aviate this way.

Face it, the world is not round.  There is no proof whatsoever to even remotely suggest that it is.  However, there are tons of facts that prove it's flat.  Open your mind and stop talking crazy, you REers!

Really?  Do you manufacture said compasses?  Do you work for the government?  Do you have any shead of evidence to back up your ridiculous claim?

Yes.  My next door neighbors ex wife's new husbands Uncle was one of the ground control members on the Apollo 12 "mission', and he told me all about it at a barbecue last summer.  I work in Loss Prevention for a MAJOR retailer and we are trained in the art of lie detection.  I looked him square in the eyes as I asked him lots of questions.  He did not lie ONE SINGLE time.  Every answer he gave was truthful.  He is the one who told me about these compasses.  Remember, NASA is a secret Russian program that is extorting our government for BILLIONS of dollars each year in order to keep their mouths quiet about faking space travel.  This guy is of Russian descent and he WORKED for them.  Stop being crazy and accept the FACT that the Earth is flat.

Not very good at keeping secrets is he.  Sounds like a real douchebag if you ask me.

He doesn't work for them anymore.  And he has changed his first name and hair color to avoid detection.

almost as good as that guy who had pictures of the icewall and the guards a while back

Yeah, that would work.

You're an optometrist? Tell me, is it a job prescription to have 20/20 vision?

I disagree, the shortest distance between 2 points is when the area is bent around the two points so that the 2 points meet.

Except when doing so opens a gate to another dimension which may/may not be hell, like in that movie

The theory of folding space to bring two points together was thought of well before the film "Event Horizon".

I love the concept of folding space, it seems so... impossible.

Nothing is impossible

Nothing is impossible

Sweet, I dare you to completely chop off your own head with a chainsaw and still be alive afterwards.

Nothing is impossible

Try putting your pants on over your head.

 In actuality, the human head does remain conscious fifteen to twenty seconds after decapitation.

LOLOWNED.

It still would not provide the increase in speed / decrease in time to cover the greater distance.

Why do you need this?

This is where an accurate FE map would do wonders.

But can it tell you the actual distance from Perth, Australia to Capetown, South Africa?

Yeah, 3 glasses down

Actually, it does not, the human head dies immediately after the head is decapitated, blood pressure instantly drops to zero completely eliminating any oxygen supply to the brain. The human head becomes unconscious immediately upon decapitation.
            You will argue that a person being chocked still remains conscious when the oxygen supply is cut off but they still have blood pressure to maintain oxygen to the brain for several minutes. Two completely different things

There have been tests done, and evidence to show that it DOES infact remain concious.
For example, this scientist was getting decapitated, and asked a friend to see how many times he could blink after the head was severed.
He done it for 17 secs.

Apocryphal.

Fine, but the story Kris told is still referred to as apocryphal in that column.

Dale McIntyre University of Cambridge

Antoine Lavoisier, the French chemist who lived between 1743 and 1794, was caught up in the revolution and faced beheading. He asked friends to observe closely as he would continue blinking as long as possible after being killed. He was reported to have blinked for 15 seconds after decapitation.

The story of Antoine Lavoisier's last heroic service for science has been reported many times but unfortunately appears to have no basis in fact. It is not given in any contemporary account we have been able to find, nor in the standard accounts of his life and death

It would really be easier to ask the head if it was alive or not.
