Flat Earth: Why doesn't a Plane's altitude meter (gyroscope) pitch up and down if it's a round earth

[florida2]

Look at the U.N logo. Why would they use a flat earth map projection WITH a leaf encircling the land masses? The leaf is suppose to be antarctica.

If there is some big conspiracy, why on Earth put it on the UN flag?! Your idea makes no sense. The UN flag was designed that way so that there wouldn't be a country in the centre of it.

Second, what is the point of the conspiracy? Why go to so much bother to try and convince people that the world wasn't flat? It's pointless. Also, they must be pretty rubbish if a few guys on the internet can figure it out. Why haven't they got rid of you yet?

Also don't forget the Lunar Module had to dock with the spacecraft in the moon orbit.....you know when the spacecraft would have been orbiting at ridiculous speeds. Nothing went wrong. Hahhaha, who believes this stuff?

The distance between earth and ISS is ~ 350-400 miles.
Time to reach ISS from earth 6 hours.

The distance between earth and moon ~ 240,000 miles.
Time to reach moon from earth ~ 3 days.

Think about that one.

Think about what?

That you think it's impossible just means that you think it's impossible. It's not an argument against anything.

Why is NASA worrying about radiation and van allen radiation belts for missions to mars?

They didn't have a problem back during the apollo missions. They even flew while there was a solar storm (where the radiation effect is multiplied to orders of magnitude).

If you ever flew in the Concorde back in the day it flew so high you could easily see the curve of the earth.

As for a any pilot claiming the earth is flat...they have to get their lips off of of the crack pipe.

Nice try.

Concorde had a maximum altitude of 69,000 feet.

The space balloons that were recently launched had an altitude of 120,000 feet and saw NO CURVATURE (the ones NOT using go pros which use fish eyed lens).

This also explains why when you start ascending upwards....the horizon stays eye level to your POV. So if you ascending 1000 feet, the horizon is at eye level. This explains why pilots need gyroscopes....they are unable to tell where the ground is during a storm etc.

If it was a curved earth, the horizon would not stay eye level when you start ascending.

Here is a test. Focus on an object on the ground and pretend it is the horizon. Now jump up. You will see the object below you. That is what you should expect the horizon to be when you travel in a plane, you expect the atomsphere to curve,....yet it is eye level. This proves flat earth without a doubt.

Is the ground curved or the atomsphere? If the atomsphere was ground, it would be ground-level! 8" inches per mile. We don't see that for the ground, we don't see that in the atomsphere. It's flat.

Think about it.

The flat earth has several land surveyors, pilots, flight instructors, engineers...you can watch some of their interviews from the Mark Sargent youtube channel.

 

[OGM]

You don't even have to go to the that height to see the curve. Try flying in a business jet.

Besides for a flat earth I would have to change all my calculations.

What calculations? flight calculations? I thought no pilots took into account the curvature. Only NASA does. You cannot have it both ways, pick one.

I flew in several planes, I saw no curvature. We have photos from the concorde too, there is no curvature.

Besides, NASA's own space balloons (with the fish eye lens and CGI) show no curvature at the altitude the concorde flew at.

nice try indeed.
i have a 12 or so inch diameter globe of earth.
i look at it and see no curvature, just a round "map"
i walk around this globe and stop every 90 degrees, i still see no curvature and all i see is a round "map".
i look from the north pole and the south pole, i still don't see any curvature, just a round "map".
what am i to conclude from these observations?

any commercial airline pilot can confirm the spherical nature of earth by having to continually adjust their heading while flying.
this sort of thing wouldn't need to be done for a flat earth.

uh, i don't mean any disrespect, but do you really believe the earth is flat?

Yes, it amazes me just how accurate they needed to be
to fire up their rockets, at the exact moment of their take-off 'window'
so that they could rendezvous with the moon, which was somewhere
between; 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers) and 252,088 miles (405,696 km) from Earth
The Apollo 11 spacecraft, had to travel at least 7 miles per second (11.25 km/s)
to break free of Earth's gravitational field. This speed is 32.4 times as fast as the speed of sound
('Mach 32.4"). and for comparison purposes >> The average bullet travels at 2,500 feet per second (around 1,700 mph). [some 0.4734848 of a mile ~per second]
Which means, they travelled at something-more than 14 times the speed of a bullet
(incredible) AND, after, travelling that enormous distance, they really managed
to 'get themselves' CAPTURED, by the Moon's gravity (one-sixth of Earth's gravitational pull)
and 'did-not'... go on 'falling' into deep space (Truly Spectacular)

to the Dragon Computer

a couple of good videos in this regard:
JSC 336 launch windows.
JSC 344 LOR.
i have these on my hard drive, but they are too large to upload.

Not being an astronaut.... I wouldn't know whether the following statement is true (or not)
But it's claimed that astronauts are subject to only 3g's [three times gravity. experienced, on the surface]
http://www.spaceanswers.com/space-e...astronauts-experience-during-a-rocket-launch/

For some reason to do with the acceleration to, escape velocity
(14+ times, the speed of a bullet]
I get the feeling that 3g's is, an understatement

3 g's sounds about right for a shuttle launch.
i'll have to scrounge around to find the values for apollo.

Not wanting to sidetrack the OP ... with controversy theory
I would like you to consider the questions this video interjects

 

[ecco]

Hahhaha, who believes this stuff?

Is this what you believe the earth to be? A circular object with the North Pole at the Center and Antarctica all around the edge?

 

[OGM]

Also if I am dealing with a satellite in a low and/or polar orbit I have to deal with the sphere called earth.

When I am flying communication and navigational radio range is determined by the sphere of the earth and my altitude. I have to apply a formula based on a sphere.

 

[lasthero]

Coincidentally, they released a bunch of photos from the Apollo mission recently, many of which show a clearly round Earth from the Moon.

I know Morse won't find it convincing, but it's interesting, nonetheless.

 

[OGM]

I still don't know if this threat is real or some kind of a social experiment.

 

[JonFromMinnesota]

I still don't know if this threat is real or some kind of a social experiment.

I think it's very real as the OP has posted many threads about a flat earth conspiracy. It is amusing to see someone do gold medal worthy mental gymnastics for an idea that is easily demonstrated to be wrong.

 

[yeshuasavedme]

I would have preferred you take this time to state the biblical reasons for a non moving earth!! The things stated above are figures of speech--(the sun rises--terminology we use today) I am also one of those that do not believe the book of Enoch as inspired by God and therefore, not scripture.
The one scripture given me as prove the earth doesn't move doesn't say that at all--it says
(Psa 93:1) The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Can no be moved, and does not move are 2 very different meanings.

I have no time at this time, due to recent family happenings, but I also have listed many of those in the past on this forum....
We have to revisit the same thing again and again on this forum, in the same ways, and
you are fixed in your opinion and I am fixed in mine, and each of us has our reasons.
When I have time again, I will relist mine; from the Word of God itself, and not from men's words.

 

[nobdysfool]

Have you not heard of aereonautical cruise???? How can you say planes follow the curvature of the earth?!? What kind of logic/science is that!

Most planes cruise at a constant altitude:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_(aeronautics)



You CANNOT have it both ways. A plane cannot be adjusting for curvature AND not adjusting for curvature at the same time.

Which is it?

How can they cruise at a constant altitude? Remember, it's 580 mph......with the curvature being 8" per mile.

A little thing called Gravity. The plane is not flying at escape velocity, not even close to it. that's the only way it could fly in an absolutely straight line. So gravity keeps it following the curvature of the earth, and therefore the plane flies at a more or less constant altitude (forgetting that there are mountains and valleys which impose small corrections on the actual altitude at any given point.}.

 

[katerinah1947]

You're a pilot? This guy is also a pilot....a military one and he confirms it is a flat earth:

Look at the horizon, it's completly flat. The chopper is not adjusting for curvature when trying to land on the ship.

Notice there is no kind of distortion on the horizon. All of the NASA videos have horizon distortions (either due to CGI or type of lens used).

Hi,

8:34. Definitely not flat.

LOVE,
