Yes it does
The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, but also 400 times farther away than the Moon from Earth

Alberto einstein was an actor that stole the majority of his "ideas" from actually intelligent scientists
The same Tesla that knew that general relativity was pseudoscience
This idiot said use your eyes, then proceeded to state planets aren't real, when you can simply see them in the sky with a low budget telescope. In fact with a mid range telescope you can see the rings of saturn and the red spot of jupiter.
''use your eyes''
''use your eyes''
None of us have ever seen a rocket go into space
When they launch rockets, those rockets take hyperbolic paths that curve out of view
Albert succeeded Telsa. Much like the scientists before him, it takes a great deal of experiments before they drop their skepticism.Alberto einstein was an actor that stole the majority of his "ideas" from actually intelligent scientists
The same Tesla that knew that general relativity was pseudoscience
Einstein was ground breaking and his thoughts were UNconventional, it didn't sit right with many, but as time went on and more and more technology developed, Einstein was 100 years ahead of his time. Gravity waves are just now being detected yet he predicted them in the fukking 30s
Einstein was paying homage to his predecessors, as he should. Even if Newton would laugh at his theories due to ignorance.

Sadly, 24 pages later, this doesn't appear to be the case. :brutuswow:
Yes I haveYou need to care what every mid-distance and longer flying pilot says.
Pilots have to constantly adjust for the curvature of the earth.
On a flat earth doing so would result in traveling in a (non-straight) curve.
You read about physics so here you go: Geodesic - Wikipedia .
"In differential geometry, a geodesic (/ˌdʒiːəˈdɛsɪk, ˌdʒiːoʊ-, -ˈdiː-, -zɪk/[1][2]) is a curve representing in some sense the shortest path between two points in a surface, or more generally in a Riemannian manifold. It is a generalization of the notion of a "straight line" to a more general setting."
Similarly if you walk in a straight line at angle angle non-parallel to a line of longitude you eventually end up moving towards a pole. On a flat earth you would just walk off the edge. Pick any line of latitude and walk in a straight line east. You will eventually cross one of the bounding lines of latitude would would not happen on a flat surface.
As an aside (but while we are here) GPS only works if we compensate for the curvature of the earth (and relativity). On a flat earth this would not be required. That means that every programmer of GPS devices (the positioning code) has to be in on the scam as well right?
And also relative sizes of countries must also be lies. The current sizes map to a spheroid surface. Flatten that into a disk and the sizes change. You don't need to go to space to unearth the lie. Just measure landmass. This is the shape that would maintain current relative sizes (and shape).
@xCivicx have you answered the above questionS yet?
Pilots dont adjust for curvature at all
Gyroscopes only keep you level with the ground. They cannot prove a 3 dimensional object
I go pretty in depth on airplanes in like 3 different flat earth threads
There are multiple reasons why planes dont really work on ball
There definitely is not any evidence of any of this
A purposefully low fi grainy 2nd 3rd hand black and white broadcast is not evidence
How would flying on a flat plane take longer than flying on a curved one?
You have a gyroscope that's also a compass?
Looks like we gotta go back to this again:
Ways to tell that the Earth is round without needing to trust scientists:
1) Where do you think the sun goes when it appears and disappears? Over the edge of the Earth? If the Earth were flat, it would disappear at the same time for everyone. But you can call your friend in Chicago while you in LA, and you can KNOW the sun disappearing over the horizon at a different time for the two of you. That only possible if there's a curve to disappear around.
2) There's a horizon in the ocean - you can only see the sea level for 3 miles if you're standing on the shore or on a boat at ocean level. But when something like a large boat or high island is coming you can see it from further... and you see the top first. How the hell you see the top of the boat first if the Earth flat?
3) The higher something is, the further away you can see it. That is only possible if the Earth were round - if it were flat, then being higher wouldn't allow you to see it from any further unless there was something in the way. If the ocean flat, then nothing in the way. And this ain't an issue of your eyes - get yourself the most powerful telescope in the world, you still can't see past the horizon.
4) The horizon effect works the opposite way too - the higher up you go, the further you see. Get 300 feet off the ground, on a big building or a hill, you can see 20 miles now instead of just three. Get up in a mountain or on a plane, you see a hundred miles. Stand at the ocean in LA, you can't see Catalina. Stand up on a cliff, you see it much easier. HOW this possible if Earth ain't curved?
5) That "flat Earth map" is DEAD wrong for the entire Southern Hemisphere. All the distances are waaaay off, because a circle around the round Earth gets smaller and smaller closer to Antarctica, while the map has it getting bigger. Literally EVERY route that every plane and ship travels in the Southern Hemisphere is wrong on the flat earth map.
6) In fact, literally every pilot in existence has a daily experience of multiple principles of the Earth being round. So do most long-distance sailors. You're relying on a conspiracy involving ALL of them, tens of millions of people lying to you.
7) On top of that, there are 70 countries with space programs, 13 of which can launch, places as different as USA and Japan, China and Europe, India and Iran. Hundreds of thousands more people in the conspiracy?
8) Time zones. Only possible on a curved Earth.
9) Lunar eclipse. What the hell is that big round shape casting a shadow on the moon, if not the Earth?
10) There's like 10 science experiments you can do to prove a round Earth and even estimate the size, but if you don't believe all I just listed you can see with your eyes, then science experiments prolly beyond you.
You don't have to "trust the scientists" to figure out the Earth ain't flat. There a dozen ways to do it yourself if you think about it.
