    I honestly found the intro a bit Eurocentric. Statements like "84%...nobody thought the Earth was flat...medieval times...Christopher Columbus.." How about mentioning other civilizations in the Americas, Africa, and Middle, South and East Asia? How did WE all think about this? BTW, no scientist who sends rockets to the moon and the planets believe the Earth is flat.

    Yeah I don't understand it either and there's no point in arguing about it just like religious people they are utterly convinced that they are right and nothing anyone says can change their mind look at the Sun put some glasses on if you do it looks like a sphere to me look at the moon when it's full it looks like a ball to me looks round there is a way that you can prove that the Earth is round maybe expensive but you could charter a plane just keep flying West landing to refuel and rest and if you end up in the same place you took off from say Florida then that should be proof enough to anyone that the Earth is round

You have to literally ignore all of your senses to believe in the ball earth arguments. For example, the magical fairy tales of gravity and bending light. And the fact that you're being hurled through space right now at thousands of miles per hour but feel completely still. I mean, whether or not you dismiss the flat earth theory doesn't really matter. My point is that your pre-conceived notions were fed to you in school, not due to a single one of your senses or common sense.

Or rather KNOWER. It took years to realize that. Before that, I believed like you and even mocked the idea. Then, I pushed the topic until only one side was left standing. There's now millions of us.

Such that even the largest living organisms exert no noticeable gravity, but celestial bodies (ranging in size from the moon or smaller to the largest stars like Stephenson-218 and other celestial bodies like neutron stars and black holes) distort space-time so that planets orbit around the centre of the gravity well. If they didn't orbit (i.e. no momentum), they would plummet directly towards the centre of the gravity well and collide with it. So anything that had no momentum to orbit, was long since removed. Gravity is the weakest known force, we only notice it with celestial bodies because they are so massive.

I'm not sure if the curvature can be seen from that hight. But SR71 can fly faster than Earth rotates, so you can see Sun rising from west if you fly west.

If your time of departure was at noon from London, it was still morning in NY at the time of arrival. Earth rotation must be accounted in some old school navigation methods like using a gyroscope.

You are so willing to accept what you're told, you could be susceptible to a huge "official lie.". And more likely than not already have been. The flat earthers are so distrustful of the "official" narrative that they reject it all. I find myself somewhere in-between. I only believe what I can see. My discerning brain realizes how easily a giant lie can be perpetuated by media. Media is the record of history. When you want the info from a day in history in a certain place, newspaper is the record for centuries. A simple lie in print can be historical record. We have a big media problem and I hope future generations will see this era as a mud pit of information/misinformation. -It's easier to fool a person than to convince them they've been fooled.

    The level shows nothing, because that's not how gravity works. But even if it did work the way the flat earthers describe, this test would actually be proving them wrong. In order to maintain altitude, planes have to fly slightly nose-up. So if the earth were flat and the plane remained truly level it would be constantly descending and crash into the ocean. Now. This "test" doesn't actually show anything because it is based on a misunderstanding of gravity and it's a dollar store bubble level on a folding, plastic tray. Anyone who's tried to set a drink down in a plane knows for a fact that those trays are anything but level.

    They say the earth's curve is every 8 miles squared. 16 miles. A normal airplane flying is 550-580 MPH. If you divide it into minutes. Which is 9.17 mpm (Miles Per Minute) meaning you will travel 9.17 miles a minute, and lets just round to 9 miles. So that would be 72 inches for the entire 9 miles. So the plane SHOULD dip down quite a bit. 72 inches in that single minute. Which would make flying impossible. It doesn't do that. Why? There isn't the curve you guys are talking about. There is A curve, but it's way higher than a normal commercial airplane.

    Even if you can't accept that, flying it a "straight" line over 2000 miles would only be a height difference of 1333 feet, considering that the average long distance flight flies at 34,000 feet, this isn't that noticeable. 2000 miles * 8 inches = 16,000 inches / 12 inches = 1333.33333 feet Even with the longest ever non-stop commercial flight, New York to Sydney, which was 10,066 miles would have a drop of only 6710 feet, which would easily be correctable, or even doable, considering that that plane could easily go up to 45000 feet above sea level.

How are all the other planets spherical but Earth? How are there different sets of constellations in the northern and southern hemispheres? How do time zones work if the sun is always above us?

    Yes, I believe that the question wasn't if the earth was round, it was a debate about the circumference of the earth. The size of the planet was pretty well known by the time of the library of Alexandria in Egypt. Using simple measurements that we are taught in basic training in the Army. If you know the distance between 2 points, you can figure out the distance between a third point. I believe that Columbus had messed up his calculations by not properly converting Roman miles and Egyptian miles correctly. He was just lucky that their happened to be a whole unknown continent or else he and his crew would have starved before they reached the Indies. Also he had tried to convince the naval powers in Europe to fund his expedition and all of them had laughed him out the door, because everyone was fairly confident how big the earth was, the only country that was willing to throw him a few dollars was a very new country that was desperate to counter Portugal's recent successes in exploring the coast of Africa, and even they weren't willing to give him much money. They were pretty certain that he was going on a fools errand.

    The IAU definitions of planet and dwarf planet require that a Sun-orbiting astronomical body has undergone the rounding process to reach a roughly spherical shape, an achievement known as hydrostatic equilibrium. The same spheroidal shape can be seen on smaller rocky planets like Mars to gas giants like Jupiter.

    spirit level will be level against the curve of plane with the level having gravity acting around curve. The point under the plane as plane go around planetary curve is what gravity acts on. The plane is always perpendicular to planet curve. Spirit level always stays perpendicular to curve of earth because it always is pulled directly under plane.

If you just want to get into orbit around the Earth, you need to reach speeds of at least 4.9 miles per second, or about 17,600 miles per hour. If you want to completely escape Earth's gravity and travel to another moon or planet, though, you need to be going even faster - at a speed of at least 7 miles per second or about 25,000 miles per hour.
