Nope. Not how navigation works, and you're a fucking retard.
I've literally flown around the globe in a jet. You should try it and get back to me.
I don't have to. I can look at the real shit my telescope tells me, you absolute shill.
Jesus fucking christ, you've successfully wasted my time. Well done you utter human dreg.
If you look at the moon and drive a hundred miles does it look it's moving away from you? Nope. Because it's that far away.
Now consider stars that are lightyears away.
Ever taken a plane across the world before?
No they're not. The constellations appear in completely different places now. Think you're an Aries cause you were born in April? Nope. Weren't born under that star sign in april. The constellations moved. You're technically a Taurus. 1000 years ago you'd be an Aries though.
Apples and oranges. Not even. Apples and planets.
Jesus fuck you people I swear.
Cool. So we still use the circumference of the earth to account for fueling airliners. And for the love of fuck the fucking sun goes down every day as the earth spins.
And yes, the stars fucking change you halfwit. Look at charts from a thousand years ago.
That is the dumbest fucking shit I've ever heard in my life. We've been able to measure the circumference of the earth since 1600 using shadows. But I guess they were alllllll in on the grand conspiracy.
And yet you can still see the moon, at over 200 thousand miles away, even if it's at the horizon, but not China.
So I can take a telescope and look alllllll the way through the atmosphere on a clear night and see the surface of the moon which is 238000 miles away. But that same telescope can't see China. Because the earth isn't flat you fucking idiot.
If the earth was flat I could see China in Canada from a telescope, you absolute flaming retard.
I'd post about it the same day.
You want me to show a career pilot who circumnavigates the globe for a living why he's been wrong for 30 years in his navigation and fuel calculations.
Amazing.
Cool. So I literally flew around the world with my father who is an airline captain. Got to see how all the navigation works while sitting up front with him, taught the fuel calculations, and see the whole trip from Canada to UK to India to Australia back to Canada. Left Canada travelling one direction: east. Guess where we ended up. Not off the edge of the world, but back in Canada. You fucking Muppet.
Ever been in a fucking plane before dumbass?
Someone doesn't understand astronomy.
Fuck off outta here with your dumb shit.
Pilots literally have to calculate their fuel amounts to account for the curvature of the earth. If they calculated them as if the world was flat, that flight from New York to London would land in the ocean. Case closed.
Fuck off outta here with the flat earth horseshit.
If the earth was flat then placing a meter stick in two places 500 miles apart would create the exact same length of shadow. And it doesn't. And we can take the ratio between shadow lengths and literally calculate the size of Earth's sphere. Just like we first did in 1600.
Fuck off outta here with this flat earth horseshit.
Ayh think you're a fucking faggot
Fucking retard.
