Can you prove what I'm saying is wrong ?

If so, I have one question for you. After opening up my attachment and looking
1 (25%)
at the results, if you find them to be wrong. This is the one question I have ,,,,
0 (0%)
If you have 2 buildings, 100 yards apart from each other and (A) building is a
0 (0%)
100 feet higher than (B building) on flat ground, that rests on a hill, and (A) building
0 (0%)
drops 1 mile down, from a mud slide, is (A) building still higher than (B) ?
0 (0%)
If you believe the heights are different now, click 6 for yes
1 (25%)
If you believe the height stay's the same, click 7 for yes
1 (25%)
My answer to this is, it stay's the same where flat earth is concerned, on a globe the
0 (0%)
answer should be different, but it's not, map result gives us flat earth measurements,
0 (0%)
why is that?

At the distance of 4684 kilometers between those mountains, the curve is
42 degrees and 9 minutes, creating bulge 464 kilometers high in the middle.

The shortest distance (without touching the ground) is along the local great circle, and
it is considered "straight line" (straight path) because there's no shorter on the globe.

"Up and down on a ball" is irrelevant.
Down is closer to the center of the planet, up is opposite of that.

Altitudes are measured from the sea level, not from some imaginary flat surface.

I still completely fail to the point of the whole thread.
From Google Earth I get a total distance of 2909 miles or 4682 km,
A to B of 1453 miles or 2339 km and B to C of 1454 miles or 2340 km.

But what does that prove?

I believe the earth is flat, and yes there is no down. There is no
south pole, but there is a north (pole) area. My point is only, to
disprove the globe theory.

The globe theory say's there is a up and down and there is curvature.
I'm saying, if I was to fault the globe theory, I would take measurements
from point A (mountain) to point B (mountain), which i did.

And what i found was after taking the measurements, the A and B distance
combined with the heights of the mountain tops, prove to me that earth
is flat, because of what was left over, a couple of miles, and part of the left
overs, would account for the difference between the mountain tops heights.

If the earth was a sphere with curvature,the measurements I took would be
much higher with allot more left over, which would be do to their so call,
earth curvature.The measurements I took add up to the mountains being
on flat land.

The reason i used "as the crow flies" is because of how it works, it starts from
one mountain top through the air to the other top, eliminating the so called
grounded, earth curvature,  "as the crow flies" is air. If this is still wrong to you,
please explain where I'm going wrong.

So, where would be "up" and "down" on the globe?

Why would sum of two semi-arcs be any bigger or smaller than the whole arc?

AB + BC = AC
Why would it be any different?

No, you did not take any measurements. All you did was go to the website FreeMapTools, How Far is it Between
This website calculates the distance around the curve of the Globe - so you calculated nothing!

No they wouldn't! The measurements that you claim you took were all for a Globe anyway.
So they include any efect the curve might have.

I simply cannot see that you have proven anything. You have taken some Globe distances from a website and compared them to some Globe distances from a website.
These distances are already "as the crow flies". Nothing you have done is "eliminating the so called grounded, earth curvature,  'as the crow flies' is air".
Crows and aircraft all fly around the curvature of the Globe.

If the earth is a globe, the fastest way would be through the ground. If the earth is flat, you could see in a straight between the two mountains. Its as simple as that. Google Earth will take a measurement around the edge because that is far more useful.
