There's also a difference between true north and magnetic north.

We measure most modern travels based on GPS or magnetic north.
That means circumnavigation can be unwarily circular as one passing across a vast plane only has to rotate northerly a minuscule amount.
If pilots can't recall having to pitch the nose down to follow the "curvature" of the earth, we shouldn't expect them to recall tiny angular movements left or right.
Especially when almost all intercontinental flights traverse the north pole instead of following WE/EW


The fact that you put this much effort into trolling is a true indicator you may need a therapist.

Wait, so the idea is that the north pole is at the "center"? Oh that's hilarious! Care to explain how a flight like Qantas 27 can make it to Australia from Santiago in 13 hours, while Qantas 96 takes 16 hours from LA? According to the map, LA is a good 40-50% closer.


Before you dismiss it completely - There is only the norle pole as Compasses only point to Magnetic North, even in the southern hemisphere.

There is also this map, said to be over 1000 years old which came from a Buddhist temple and was sent to a Japanese Temple to hid it from the Chinese when the Chinese were destroying knowledge. Notice how the east coast of North America is still shown before it was destroyed by a flood that we didn't know about until very recently, kinda odd how this Map was published in 1907 though.

you need to review how magnetism (specifically earth as a magnet) and compasses work if you believe there is only one pole due to this

Welcome to the rabbit hole.

Didn't answer my question at all, but thanks anyway. Also, if the flight looked the way it's shown on a flat Earth, people would actually fly over land (Alaska, Canada, and Russia) and physically see it with their eyes every time they took a flight from Asia to US. That's clearly not the case.

Well the only proof i can find of heliocentricity is math theories that assume the earth is round and Nasa Composites, Was Christopher Columbus so crazy to suggest there was land to the west? I'm pretty sure you would have thought so in 1492.

you mean how we are told magnetism works or actually testing that only finds there is the north pole?

I'm be surprised that you can tie your own shoelaces.
Presuming that you can, of course

So is your funny statement proof or just an assumption? I rest my case.
