Title: Why do these flights have the same duration according to FE?
Post by: Jorph on August 19, 2016, 02:26:19 PM
Round earth measurements show LA->Hong Kong is about the same distance as Santiago->Sydney (11,725km & 11,385 respectively). As Round Earthers would expect, flights between these cities have about the same duration (14h 50min & 14h 15min respectively) as seen here on Google:

According to Flat Earth models, Santiago->Chile is more than double the distance of LA->Hong Kong since the "southern hemisphere" is closer to the outer edge of the Earth as seen here:

How should a Flat Earther counter this argument?

Either
          Completely ignore it and hope it goes away or
          Be honest and admit that the usual FE map is completely wrong and join the, so far, fruitless search for an accurate one.

I guess jroa felt the need to avoid both those options, while managing to conform to both....

Of course, he fails to accept the fact that NO FLAT EARTH map is accurate or capable of explaining all these irregularities.......

I has a post requesting for an accurate flat earth map that shows the "true".

Thus far it was fruitless.

Please give us a flat earth map that is accurate so we can see if it adds up to the "truth".

So what do all these Flat Earth aircraft captains and ocean going ships navigators go to get a "completely accurate layout of the flat Earth".

::) Rand McNally I suppose!  ::)

It is vitally important for these people to know the distances involved for fueling their craft.

Maybe those maps based on the Globe aren't all that bad, at least the ships and aircraft seem get their fuel loads correct!

At least till some idiot puts in the wrong fuel gauge for the plane or confuses pounds and kilograms.

Here, in a nutshell, is the primary problem that FE needs to solve.  Paper is flat.  The earth you're trying to map is flat (so you say).  Therefore, it should be trivially easy to produce a flat map of a flat earth on flat paper.  The fact that we keep hearing over and over "well, it's not really accurate..." says a lot.

FE was already disproven countless times, but the FEers try to wave that away by yelling conspiracy. But not even the Grand Conspiracy Theory can save them here, since flight times and maps are widely available and can be checked by anyone willing to do so.

Flights take as long as you'd expect them to take if they fly the routes you see on our current maps. Our current maps are therefor accurate.

There are jet-streams on near of the edge of the earth specially near on Australia. This causes the distance feels like shorter. On the other hand the map you showed is not corrected by most of flathers. Because still we haven't any government to support our workings. Almost all flathers are amateurs and volunteers. So it is hard to create a map better then you showed that can answer all questions.

Jet-streams work/blow all time in one direction. So, what about the back trip?

In short, they claim that the shortest path from Santiago, Chile to Sydney, Australia is over the Antarctica. The map supporting this claim shows Antarctica seen straight from top; of course, seen this way we see no curvature of the Antarctica. When you consider the curvature of Antarctica, you will realize that the distance equals or almost equals. Beside of this, aviation uses paths of constant wind, so-called "wnd tunnels" all over the globe. By the way, I'm not even sure if they do use or not the path shown here.

PS.
May somebody tell me, how to paste pictures here?

Some of those routes are simply chosen because they go over the pole, but there is simply no demand for say Cape Town to/from the Falkland Islands! Though, a RAF Hercules has flown direct from Perth to the Falkland Islands.

Other airlines between South Africa and South America use different cities and as far as I know there is a New Zealand Airlines flight from Aukland to Buenos Aires.

Sure most offlights do not exist:
Why? simply because QANTAS chooses to fly from Sydney and not Hobart or Perth, because those cities are too small to provide enough traffic.
And they fly to Santiago (not Buenos Aires) and Johannesburg (and not Cape Town).
Why, better ask QANTAS that one, but probably because those places are a little closer on the Globe!

These are the relevant flights. Bothof these are in the east-to-west direction, the corresponding west-to-east flights are usually at least an hour shorter.
But QANTAS definitely flies these as non-stop direct regular flights!

The shortest routes do not even go very close to Antarctica, let alone the South Pole.

Apart there being no commercial requirement, a big reason for avoiding Antarctic flights is simply the safety aspects:
1) It is extremely cold and the freezing of fuel can be (has been) a problem and
2) Flights over Antarctica are a long distance from any rescue centres, especially during winter. Any flights must carry a specified number of Polar Survival Suits.
 Then
Quote
Atlantean Conspiracy, 200 proofs earth is not spinning #44)
If Earth was a ball, and Antarctica was too cold to fly over, the only logical way to fly from Sydney to Santiago would be a straight shot over the Pacific staying in the Southern hemisphere the entire way. Re-fueling could be done in New Zealand or other Southern hemisphere destinations along the way if absolutely necessary. In actual fact, however, Santiago-Sydney flights go into the Northern hemisphere making stop-overs at LAX and other North American airports before continuing back down to the Southern hemisphere. Such ridiculously wayward detours make no sense on the globe but make perfect sense and form nearly straight lines when shown on a flat Earth map.

Eric Dubay claims that "In actual fact, however, Santiago-Sydney flights go into the Northern hemisphere making stop-overs at LAX and other North American airports before continuing back down to the Southern hemisphere. "
In this he is completely wrong.
I hesitate to claim someone is lying, but the contrary evidence is so easily available that he has to be intentionally trying to deceive us.
It is possible that when he wrote that flights were different, but there have been direct flights from Australia to/from both South America and South Africa for a very long time. Earlier some South African flights left from Perth.

Yes, according to this map, everything looks warped, yet, you must imagine curvature which is not seen when viewed straight from top. And the curvature can significantly change the distance visible on a map.

Fantastic contribution to this fine thread, an underrated post indeed.

You, good sir, still owe me an apology.

Edit.

In the absense of that I will accept a technical and mathematical explanation of tides on the RE.

You will need to use relativistic math, I will not accept anything that just "looks ok", I will also know if you copied and pasted from Google. Once you do this I will no longer take issue with you calling FE'ers stupid.

If you think that "relativistic math" is really needed for an accurate mathematical explanation of tides on the Globe, then you do not ubderstand the problem.

Nevertheless your request is almost impossible to fulfill as even a reasonably convincing accurate explanation of tides on the Globe is extremely difficult, and far from the simplistic explanation "given in schools". It has to include details of the ocean floor profile etc, etc.

But, what about a simpler task for you? Give a convincing explanation for lunar phases and lunar eclipses on the Flat Earth.

Certainly not all Flat Earthers are "stupid", but the completely inaccurate rubbish in
jeranism's YouTube "The Great Umbra Penumbra Conundrum - The Globe Is Slippin'." would leave you wondering!

There are jet-streams on near of the edge of the earth specially near on Australia. This causes the distance feels like shorter.

The word of jet stream is a lie. So you are saying lie. Pilots don't care about jet streams. The time difference causes by mistakes of maps. Your try about defende the lie by jet streams proves your impotence.

In the absense of that I will accept a technical and mathematical explanation of tides on the RE.

You will need to use relativistic math, I will not accept anything that just "looks ok", I will also know if you copied and pasted from Google. Once you do this I will no longer take issue with you calling FE'ers stupid.
If you think that "relativistic math" is really needed for an accurate mathematical explanation of tides on the Globe, then you do not understand the problem.

Nevertheless your request is almost impossible to fulfill as even a reasonably convincing accurate explanation of tides on the Globe is extremely difficult, and far from the simplistic explanation "given in schools". It has to include details of the ocean floor profile etc, etc.

But, what about a simpler task for you? Give a convincing explanation for lunar phases and lunar eclipses on the Flat Earth.

How else would you explain the curvature of space time causing the gravitational attraction?

No, I am not a physicist lol good pick, I am aware of how difficult the problem is. I was probably being a dick because he called me a troll.

I also can't explain lunar phases on a flat earth, I never claimed to believe in a flat earth.

I would suggest this as a more accurate map for a flat Earth (not exactly flat, but more like a bowl) to explain the flight paths. A completely flat Earth wouldn't be able to explain the motion of the sun in a straight arc at the equator at September 21. Also, in the image provided, we should realize that the curvature would be a lot more pronounced than that. Only differences between this theory and the one that the Earth is a sphere is that it is more flattened at the north pole and the Earth curves back away from the north pole after reaching the equator. The flight paths wouldn't be much longer at the tropic of Capricorn than they are at the equator. However, it would still be shorter to go through the northern hemisphere to reach the other side of the Earth.

Not that I am completely convinced that the Earth has that shape, but it works with the actual known astronomy except for the region near the south pole (which no independent researcher can visit as of now).

In providing an explanation for the tides I would not attempt to "explain the curvature of space-time causing the gravitational attraction".
Why would anyone be expected to go back to GR to explain the tides?  Newton's Laws of Motion and Gravitation are completely adequate for any calculations here.
When I get time I'll give you a few references on tides, but I'm not going to attempt any of the calculations!

You took that from back from when it was not obvious from your posts whether you believed in a Flat, Globe or Square  ::) earth.

I have learnt a bit more by now and have realised that your name might be better "DisputeEverything" and not just "disputeone".

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I am quite happy to dispute what some of these "globularists" come out with, especially when they misinterpret some of the "planoterrestrialist" theory.

Yes, I know better now - live and learn, they say.

What exactly is curved?  in your opinion. 

The picture portrays that the water level is curved but I am having a difficult time evisioning that phenomenon.  I reckon that water is either flat or flowing downhill. 

I want to believe in that bowl-shape but it makes no sense to me that the are curved ---- unless the ocean currents are not what the globalists say.  The bowl-shape only makes sense to me if the continents are mountain peaks and the oceans are all flowing downhill whereby the drain is situated at the equator.

I'm amazed that no one has come up with the simplest explanation (Note: just using the conspiracy BS to fit in with FE fantasy, not claiming reality):

The flight times are not indicative of distances.

The planes/boats/etc are capable of travelling much faster than people think and they travel much faster south of the equator to keep up the conspiracy that the earth is a globe.

And I would discard it as nonsense.

It cannot explain any of it.
It doesn't explain why at the equinox the sun appears to rise due east and set due west, following a straight line for the people on the equator. For the people on the equator, that model is pretty much the same as a flat Earth.

That model just helps with distances in the northern hemisphere and helps explain why the north pole can receive some darkness.

It doesn't help much for the southern hemisphere. Especially not for those flights. With that model, the further south you are the longer the distance, so it makes no sense for the flights to go south.

And independent researches can go to the south pole. It is just quite expensive and dangerous.

Fixed it :)

There are jet-streams on near of the edge of the earth specially near on Australia. This causes the distance feels like shorter. On the other hand the map you showed is not corrected by most of flathers. Because still we haven't any government to support our workings. Almost all flathers are amateurs and volunteers retards. So it is hard to create a map better then you showed that can answer all questions.

Wellll.....no...didn't fix it.  Do the Jet Streams "know" when to go in the OPPOSITE direction, to make the RETURN flight just as short also?  Do they also have a schedule of flight plans?  These, so called "Jet Streams" cannot account for random trips in both ways.  Thinking so shows a severe lack of common sense and thought.
