Title: More proof the earth is round...
Post by: Ilikeroundthings on January 30, 2007, 12:50:26 PM
Plate tectonics. If the earth were flat, and these plates were moving wouldnt the earth just fall apart?

What does him being right about plate tectonics have to do with him being an Engineer?

There is no such thing as the ice wall so he isnt right.

Well, you are, considering our Ice Wall is your Antarctica.  Please, read the FAQ so you don't appear to be so ignorant.

Funny how if you guys ever get out of your mothers basements, and get to travel, you'd see that in a airplane, the horizon is a curve, not a straight line.

Care to explain?

No, you dont, your just going to twist my words around, give a untherotetical theory about how you guys are right, when really you never saw daylight in your 50 year old lives.

Actually you can't see the curvature of the Earth from the altitude that commercial airplanes travel. You would need to fly higher, but this is impossible due to airspace restrictions.

I've been in a plane many times as a child.  The horizon has always looked flat.

I don't think so, an oxymoron's supposed to still make sense (e.g. bitter sweet as an emotion). That's just stupid.

ANd how do you know of these restrictions?
Can you show proof of these restrictions.

They probaly are restrictions I would just like to see them.

This link (http://www.faa.gov/ats/asc/publications/02_ACE/APPEND_A.PDF) was posted by a REer in another thread. Airspace is regulated. I haven't had a look at the link but you just wanted to see regulations so there you are.

Also just found this wikilink (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_plan#Flight_Levels)

All airspace is classified and holds certain regulations.

He denies the Ice Wall, and you automatically accuse him of denying the existence of Anartica, since according to your beliefs they are the same thing, when you obviously know that he does not believe the same thing.
