Direct flight from London to Tokyo, with flying over Norway and Russia, 13 hours and 50 min. Direct flight from Tokyo to Sydney, 9 hours and 40 min. Brings the total flight time to 23 hours and 30 min, between London and Sydney.
Edit: According to British Airways, non stop flight time from London to Tokyo is 11 hours and 40 min.
Read it right there. Flat Earthers are retards. Does that look like the Ukraine to you? Where is the Ukraine. Point it out on that map?
Every single one of them has almost no education. Like the basics. Math. Science. Geography.
Russia still has international flight. Despite of sanctions.
The route takes it over the pole. Flight is diverted due to the Planet's magnetism and cold affecting it.
The flight needs to refuel is the biggest problem.
Until despite of the supposedly less flights and blah blah the climate, They're making a Europe to Sydney in 2 hours. Hypersonic flight is being developed. They tried reentry commerically, but it failed, largely still unmanned, outside of astronauts.
The problem on that route is the pole and refueling.
No, you cannot. At all. Flight tends to avoid it. Completely avoid it. There are very Satellites there. The Planet's magnetism renders compasses, navigation, kaput. Meanwhile there's the obvious weather.
Nowhere near the Pole, yes flight goes to Anchorage, and Greenland. But it doesn't passes by the Pole there.
Your planned route is very close to it. Risk zone. Weather as well.
Aside you have fuel problems. You'd have to refuel. It diverts any path considerably.
You do not need a compass, when you fly in a straight line, level flight. Gyroscopes are used to keep the flight level. Even though you say it is so dangerous, I know not of any commercial airplane crashing when flying over the North Pole.
Flight time from no stop flights from New York to Hong Kong is about 16 hours, and flies daily: within range of fuel capacity of big airplanes.
Also compasses not being useful the closer you get to the North Pole is only natural, as you will be drawing a smaller and smaller circle around the North Pole, making any movement having a bigger impact on the compass needle.
Are you nuts? You don't know where the Ukraine is.
There is no commercial flight anywhere near the pole.
How about you go and Google it. Filling in the missing gaps of your education. Instead of telling me what you think you know.
I get really tired of this forum certain members telling me stuff that is common knowledge. They could Google it in 5 minutes. Instead they write a bunch of crap. Go on Google it.
Not over the pole, avoided. They shout hoohaw it's the pole. Everything in the entire arctic circle, can be vaguely accredited as the pole. Is it over the center, the black circle on that map. It's around it. That distance is actually quite significant, how many miles are we talking from that black circle area, there, to the flightpath. How close to it?
When I saw the former route posted. The airspace is questionable. Again technically, what flight goes over the Pole, through that black circle.
Those concerns were, as stated.
Further concerns are if the airspace remains open. Today's sanctions?
Meanwhile there is another concern coming up in frequency since the airspace opened up. Increasing more recently. Health, the radiation exposure. In the arctic is higher. Whether or not Planet Dystopia cares, most humans would rather holiday. Most humans don't even care if the country went into civil war, they'd only care about their holiday. Well it's becoming any increasing concern and statistic.
If we did an area like the other picture of the South Pole. A continent. Is it similar? One has a better representation. Because it's a land mass. The flight path doesn't go over it.
They will offer no measurements, evidence or documentation. All they will do it either insult or explain why they won't provide evidence with lame excusers.
Yeah. I would like to meet one Flat Earther who is willing to make some definite statements about the shape, size and positioning of Earth and other bodies in the universe according to their model.
The sun is under 4000 miles above the earth. When I measured it using the length of shadow, and some trigonometry; I got the height of the sun somewhere between 2000-3000 miles high.
The height of the celestial bodies goes by the days of the week. Starts with the sun, which is closets to the earth, then Monday and the moon. Tuesday and mars, which is the third closest to Earth. Wednesday and mercury. Thursday Jupiter. Friday Venus. And in the end, the 7th closest celestial body, Saturn and Saturday.

I determined that the sun was shining at a 45 degree angle, based on where I was, as the object casting the shadow, and the shadow, was the same length. Seeing as the sun was 2500-3000 miles south of me, I also knew that had to be the height of the sun when I made those measurements, based on trigonometry.
There are no flat earthers, but even if there were - they wouldn't all believe/claim the same thing. Earnest flat earth researchers are largely independent. No bibles, no churches, and no colleges for them to be conditioned by rote under the guise of education/enlightenment and then all parrot the same things.
According to who? It seems you are making up a strawman claim.
I don't remember flying via Norway and Siberia. Care to explain?
Most likely options are
The strawman map above is wrong.
You didn't fly in a perfectly straight line.
Neither have anything to do with the shape of the earth or to determining it.

That's not the fastest available flight though.
According to this the most direct route goes via SIngapore.

That route going to take you over Ukraine, no commercial airliners is going to be operating in this air space currently, as far as I know.

Yet you can still fly directly from New York to Hong Kong, taking you almost directly over the North Pole.

This again will break the Flat Earthers. They will offer no measurements, evidence or documentation.
All they will do it either insult or explain why they won't provide evidence with lame excusers.
What does this even mean?
Please share your data.
Also note how Australia would be larger than the United States and mainland China.
Yeah. I would like to meet one Flat Earther who is willing to make some definite statements about the shape, size and positioning of Earth and other bodies in the universe according to their model.
They never want to do that.
Distanse from pole to pole, is said to be 12.400 miles, so the diameter of the flat earth map you are using, should be about 25.000 miles.

Did you actually understand my question?
There are no flat earthers, but even if there were - they wouldn't all believe/claim the same thing. Earnest flat earth researchers are largely independent.

Fair enough.
Do you have a link handy (to them making this claim / providing this map and claiming it was correct for the route in question)?
