If the Earth is flat - how it’s possible:
You can make the following flights, starting at 9am, finishing at 3pm (or earlier) and staying at the hotel till the next day:
-
London, Uk => New York => Los Angeles => Tokyo => Doha => London, UK
-
The above series of trips starts and ends in the same place.
-
All the time, while flying, you’ve got the Sun on the left hand side.
You can only explain that in 2 ways:
-
Earth is a globe as we know it, or
-
Earth is flat, but then it needs to have a shape of a donut where the sun is in the center of it, so you fly around it.
The second would mean: when you fly South of London you should cross the middle of a donut (which is the Sun) after 12 hours of trip.
Let’s fly towards the sun:
London, UK => South Africa => the Sun.
Unfortunately, after 12 hours you end up in an extremely cold area.
The sun moves along the yellow line I outlined. In 24 hours the sun will be back at its starting point.
That’s what you’ve explained on the image.
The issue is - you’re turning right couple of times, but the sun was supposed to be one left when the plain start and continues the journey. You’re turning right immediately after the start and at that point you have the sun behind you (not on the left) for most of the journey.
The sun also turns right along you. It moves in a circular path. The circular path of the sun is bigger than the square flight path. Considering that the sun takes less time to travel around the earth, than the flight route you proposed, the place the sun will move is ahead of you. If the sun starts behind you, it will over time catch up with your flight, and overtake it.
What makes a person this stupid?
The sun takes 24 hours to get back to the place it started, while the flight route OP proposed takes 44 hours, so you tell me.
