Hi, im new to this website. I was wondering if the earth is truly flat.

No.
Can you prove it?

Yes! It is easy to prove the earth is not flat.  Go to the shore of any large body of water like an ocean or one of the Great Lakes (if you are in the USA).  Open your eyes and look on a clear, quiet day. You will see a nearby horizon.  That would not exist if the earth were flat. That is PROOF the earth is not flat.

Hmm is this curved or flat?

Flight time from Johannesburg to Rio de Janeiro is 8 hours 40 minutes
Flight time from Reykjavik to Moscow is 8 hours 55 minutes



Why are these similar?
Surely in the flat earth model Reykjavik to Moscow should be hugely shorter than Johannesburg to Rio de Janeiro.

I've been on such flights and have my phone with me to watch films and stuff so I know for a fact how much time has passed.

Auckland and Santiago de Chile takes around 11 hours

This would take 2 days and pass over Mexico and Peru if flat earth is real.

Auckland to Mexico City is about 17 hours, longer than to Santiago de Chile.

This would not make sense if the earth was flat, it should be about half the time.

Millions of people fly every day.
In a period of approx 3 years the equivalent of the entire population of the planet has flown in a plane
Are they ALL in on the conspiracy, everyone in the world?

I have flown from Heathrow (London) to Lungi (Sierra Leone) having seen thought the windows the countries pass below me and known where I am flying.
I have also flown from London to Kansas in the US.
These flights have similar times, even though in Flat Earth; London to Kansas is about twice the distance than London to Sierra Leone.

I've been and driven across Sierra Leone, Africa, which is about the same size as England in round earth, which I've also driven across. For Flat Earth Sierra Leone is about the size of the whole of the UK and would mean either my car speedo knows it's geographic location and reprograms itself, or .. Flat earth is false.

Also what about time zones?
I regularly chat with a friends all over the world from England.
They really are in different daylight times.

Also what about Scott and the Antarctic, and other cross Antarctica expeditions?

Did the south pole just not exist?
In Flat earth the south pole would not be a location, it would be something 80,000 miles long I guess.
Those poor penguins, how far they would have to travel.

Google Earth shows a picture of McMurdo and other bases and you can zoom in/out and see all of Antartica.
https://earth.google.com/web/@-77.84552176,166.67264952,125.53246613a,2372.26067022d,35y,45.97449045h,0t,0r
These are images shot from planes which have flown there because you can see people and vehicles outside the buildings.
Indeed the geographical south pole itself is here: https://earth.google.com/web/search/south+pole+antartica/@-83.87581415,110.20065398,3206.03443619a,3731635.96866846d,35y,25.89086042h,33.44727546t,0r/data=Cn8aVRJPCiUweGIxNjVmY2UwMmEzZDdlZjU6MHgxNDJkMGVkZGZkYjU3ZmY0GTWglP__f1bAIQAAAAAAgEZAKhRzb3V0aCBwb2xlIGFudGFydGljYRgCIAEiJgokCUsb_Nou-EtAEelZI2wmYEZAGfRcjBPqTilAIYkhYCx9jRzA
If Flat Earth is true it would need a long flight in a plane, not a walk, just to get across any of these bases.
The Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station would be a 126,000km in one direction and less than 1km in the other.
It's clearly a single land mass and not some huge massive stretched out ring or something.

What about this: https://www.swoop-antarctica.com/

I understand the huge emotional investment people make in such as this, but the plain truth is that all people are prone to lying, and this includes the "truther" types.
FE people have chosen to believe one group of people and attribute the rest of the world as deceivers.
This is the irrationality I don't understand: why believe the minority and not the majority. why are the majority lying and deceiving and not the minority lying and deceiving.

...Or I could be part of a government cover up or some Illuminati type.
