. . Here is a debate:
To circumnavigate the Earth using standard airline flights on a route south of the equator -- when using the Flat Earth model (with the North Pole in the center and the South Pole as the outer edge around the flat Earth) -- would require more than twice the distance flown and twice the number of flight hours in comparison to a similar route north of the equator. As an example, if both routes were flown at precisely 45 degrees latitude -- one in the north, and the other in the south -- mathematically (in the Flat Earth model) the southern route would require 2 1/3 times more miles or 233% greater distance flown.
Here are actual flight times and distances for nonstop flights now in
service [2019 schedules]:
Following a route north of the equator from Paris to Hong Kong to Guam to Honolulu to Los Angeles to New York and returning to Paris gives the following flight times and distances:
Paris to Hong Kong 12 hours 10 minutes
5970 miles -- Air France Flight 188
Hong Kong to Guam 4 hours 45 minutes
2090 miles -- United Airlines Flight 116
Guam to Honolulu 7 hours 5 minutes
3800 miles -- United Airlines Flight 200
Honolulu to Los Angeles 5 hours 10 minutes
2550 miles -- United Airlines Flight 534
Los Angeles to New York 5 hours 23 minutes
2470 miles -- Jet Blue Airways Flight 624
New York to Paris 6 hours 50 minutes
3620 miles -- Norwegian Air Shuttle Flight 7020
Total distance flown:
5990+2090+3800+2550+2470+3620=20,520 miles
Total flight time: 41 hours 23 minutes
To circumnavigate the Earth on a route south of the equator from Sydney, Australia to Santiago, Chile to Sao Paulo, Brazil to Johannesburg, South Africa and returning to Sydney gives the following flight times and distances:
Sydney to Santiago 12 hours 20 minutes
7040 miles -- Qantas Airways Flight 27
Santiago to Sao Paulo 3 hours 40 minutes 1610 miles -- Emirates Airlines
Flight 264
Sao Paulo to Johannesburg 10 hours 20 min
4630 miles -- Latam Airlines Flight 8058
Johannesburg to Sydney 11 hours 45 min
6850 miles -- Qantas Airways Flight 64
Total distance flown:
7040+1610+4630+6850=20,130 miles
Total flight time: 38 hours 5 minutes
These are standard non-stop flights traveling east with normal flight times that are flown by the public regularly and published through various online booking agencies. These therefore cannot be disputed and provide simple proof in terms of time and distance traveled on similar jet aircraft.
We were looking for something of at least twice the distance for the southern route. However, the distances are relatively very close, the northern route actually having the greater distance. This is sufficient proof that the northern and southern hemispheres are concentrically very similar and therefore cannot share a flat plane. The Earth must be spherical as a result.
Flat Earth becomes a religion just as many scientific disciplines have been rendered, limiting and suppressing knowledge both old and new for various misguided reasons.
