    Correction: @10:15 regarding the ships distance, I overlooked that Jeran's measurement will be in nautical miles, however is figure is still over 700 miles shorter than the great circle route

      @mikefochtman7164 Місяць тому +32

      I'm not so sure. Jeran's web site showing the ship's speed in 'mph' "miles per hour". Ships do often work with nautical miles, but then it would show speed in 'knots', the customary units for 'nautical miles per hour' versus 'mph' for 'statue miles per hour.'. It doesn't really change the outcome, but I think that site was showing 'mph' as converted.

      in aviation it is even more confusing because air density decreases with altitude, which is why IAS (indicated airspeed), TAS (true airspeed) and GS (ground speed) are all different. it is possible to have less than 300 knots IAS but more than 600 knots GS, with TAS somewhere inbetween

    Sabine Hossenfelder has the best flat earth response in my opinion. Without addressing any of the arguments directly she essentially said that among the particular flat earthers that insist they are operating on purely empirical, scientific observations, their claim that the science that proves a globe is not personally verifiable by them directly....there is an intentional cognitive dissonance in ignoring any actual evidence gathered by other people, that refutes their claims. Sabine's excellent analysis concluded thusly: "Flat Earthers will eventually figure out the earth is round. It just might take 1,000 years for them to re-invent modern science to their satisfaction."

He would leave England, sail south then head east, past the Cape of Good Hope, across the Indian Ocean to arrive in South Australia. Then after departing, continue east, across the pacific, past Cape Horn and then turn north for a run up the Atlantic and back home to England.

    I don't think that Jeran is a flat earther anymore. He has moderated several debates very nicely and at times his doubt about the whole flat earth idea shines through. I also think that he is the more intelligent one, I don't see how he can keep up his faith when confronted with all the globe evidence he has witnessed in these debates. I believe that the only reason that he keeps on posting flat earth nonsense is because his livelihood depends on it. Also, he is mocked by some flat earthers now already and will be obliterated by them when he switches sides (see Rachie 0000 among others).
