Why are you specifying today?Select a specific location in the Arctic circle (IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE) and see if that location gets 24 hours of day light for today's date. If it does, there is no possible way that earth is a disk.

Cool, so the system isn't closed
Which makes that video you posted about the drone in the plane, even more irrelevant
Also, since the atmosphere isn't moving at the same speed as the rotating earth, why can't you just hover in a helicopter and have or destination rotate to you?

But you LITERALLY just said that air speed and land speed are not the same, meaning that again, you should be able to hover and have land rotate under youYour question brought the video I've posted back into relevance. You clearly see that the plane was moving, and you saw that the drone was flying within that moving plane. Your helicopter is leaving the ground at the same speed that earth is rotation.
It's not that difficult to comprehend.

I'm confusedToday is the longest solar day of the year, and the first day of summer in the southern hemisphere. Today is the best day you'll get all year.
And I posted that 24 hour days occur at the antarctic circleSummer in the southern hemisphere would have the least amount of daylight since the sun would travel a further distance in that same 24 hours.
Not possible.
But you LITERALLY just said that air speed and land speed are not the same, meaning that again, you should be able to hover and have land rotate under you
The coriolis effect also states this

Again, it seems like you don't understand what I'm asking, and you're going against what the scientist that you believe are actually sayingAir speed is irrelevant to what we are talking about. Your point basically boils down to whether or not the A/C is running on the plane while they're flying the drone in it. The speed that the drone is moving inside the plane is the ground speed.
Coriolis force
Description
In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial or fictitious force that acts on objects that are in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to an inertial frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of the object.
I have no idea what this meansSo the Earth is a flat square or horizontal disc, but the moon and the sun is a is a vertical disc? Ignoring gravity (because that would make a vertical disc impossible) why would the Earth be conveniently a different shape than the two planets we can all physically see?
Whoa whoa whoa there, pal
They aren't the same because of altitude. The closer to the ground, the slower you move. The higher the altitude, the faster it moves. You can see this on a merry-go-round where the center spins slower than the outer edge. You're also not factoring conservation of momentum, which is why when you jump on a moving truck, you land in the same spot you jumped from. The larger the mass, the more momentum is conserved. That's why planes don't need to fly at 3-4 times the speed of sound to go East.
The Coriolis Effect states NOTHING about this since it applies to the DIRECTION of moving air, not it's speed.
I'm confused
You posted this on the previous page
And I posted that 24 hour days occur at the antarctic circle
And now you're saying that the 24 hour daylight that occurs at the antarctic circle(which you just said wasn't possible) somehow proves that the earth is not flat?
You can google "24 hour daylight antarctica" and even google will tell you that it happens
Sorry but this makes absolutely no sense at all, especially boldIf you were able to post a video of 24 hours of daylight in Antarctic then you have officially lost your flat earth argument. Solar midnight for the location of the camera when the video was filmed would have put the sun at the furthest point possible from the location of the camera, so it would be insane to believe that the sun is visible from the complete opposite end of the earth, while at the same time be completely dark for a location like anything in the artic circle which is exactly half that distance.
You just proved that Earth is a sphere.
