      I honestly found the intro a bit Eurocentric. Statements like "84%...nobody thought the Earth was flat...medieval times...Christopher Columbus.."
      How about mentioning other civilizations in the Americas, Africa, and Middle, South and East Asia? How did WE all think about this?
      BTW, no scientist who sends rockets to the moon and the planets believe the Earth is flat.

      Yeah I don't understand it either and there's no point in arguing about it just like religious people they are utterly convinced that they are right and nothing anyone says can change their mind look at the Sun put some glasses on if you do it looks like a sphere to me look at the moon when it's full it looks like a ball to me looks round there is a way that you can prove that the Earth is round maybe expensive but you could charter a plane just keep flying West landing to refuel and rest and if you end up in the same place you took off from say Florida then that should be proof enough to anyone that the Earth is round

Such that even the largest living organisms exert no noticeable gravity, but celestial bodies (ranging in size from the moon or smaller to the largest stars like Stephenson-218 and other celestial bodies like neutron stars and black holes) distort space-time so that planets orbit around the centre of the gravity well. If they didn't orbit (i.e. no momentum), they would plummet directly towards the centre of the gravity well and collide with it. So anything that had no momentum to orbit, was long since removed. Gravity is the weakest known force, we only notice it with celestial bodies because they are so massive.

You, the observer, take a point in space where you can see both of the plumb lines clearly (use instruments if you must) and observe that one is perpendicular to the other. The north pole person walks towards the equatorial guy. When they meet, the lines are parallel. At all times, the plumb line was pointed to the center of the earth. Same results with a spirit level. And that, dear Daryl is why your plane flies level.

Which is 9.17 mpm (Miles Per Minute) meaning you will travel 9.17 miles a minute, and lets just round to 9 miles. So that would be 72 inches for the entire 9 miles. So the plane SHOULD dip down quite a bit. 72 inches in that single minute. Which would make flying impossible. It doesn't do that. Why? There isn't the curve you guys are talking about. There is A curve, but it's way higher than a normal commercial airplane.

      Even if you can't accept that, flying it a "straight" line over 2000 miles would only be a height difference of 1333 feet, considering that the average long distance flight flies at 34,000 feet, this isn't that noticeable.
      2000 miles * 8 inches = 16,000 inches / 12 inches = 1333.33333 feet
      Even with the longest ever non-stop commercial flight, New York to Sydney, which was 10,066 miles would have a drop of only 6710 feet, which would easily be correctable, or even doable, considering that that plane could easily go up to 45000 feet above sea level.

    Airplanes maintain altitude. Depending on the make and model of the aircraft and how it’s loaded, how much fuel is in it you may be level or nose up or nose down in cruise. Dude brings a level into an airplane and actually tries to outsmart hundreds of years of progress and science because he watched a couple UA-cam videos.

      The level shows nothing, because that's not how gravity works. But even if it did work the way the flat earthers describe, this test would actually be proving them wrong. In order to maintain altitude, planes have to fly slightly nose-up. So if the earth were flat and the plane remained truly level it would be constantly descending and crash into the ocean. Now. This "test" doesn't actually show anything because it is based on a misunderstanding of gravity and it's a dollar store bubble level on a folding, plastic tray. Anyone who's tried to set a drink down in a plane knows for a fact that those trays are anything but level.

You are so willing to accept what you're told, you could be susceptible to a huge "official lie.". And more likely than not already have been. The flat earthers are so distrustful of the "official" narrative that they reject it all.
      I find myself somewhere in-between. I only believe what I can see. My discerning brain realizes how easily a giant lie can be perpetuated by media. Media is the record of history. When you want the info from a day in history in a certain place, newspaper is the record for centuries. A simple lie in print can be historical record. We have a big media problem and I hope future generations will see this era as a mud pit of information/misinformation.

      @Chris M I was looking at facts like plumb lines, levels 3,4,5 polaris, sea level and I came to the conclusion that I must be living on a huge ball that is spinning at 1080 mph and even though every time I rotate a mass it produces centrifugal force, I must be living on a ball that reverses centrifugal force...... yes, thats it, we will call it gravity. the only force you can't measure the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.
      rotating mass changes from centrifugal force to gravity at what size? lol this shit is wonderful
