let me know your thoughts


Lol. The guy isn't a navigator, he's a short range missile technician. Somehow gets called an "expert" by the video. I'm more of an expert than that, simply because I had to work with the navigators. I've crossed the ocean, and I've seen the course corrections in person that were made to account for the curvature, so as to optimize the most efficient course.

Still looking for you to man up and answer a simple question:

watch the first 9 mins if u can, otherwise, for your answer, just skip to around 7 mins in

just shut up about physics please, you don't know it and don't act like you do.

What a blatant liar and fool you are:

First off hes an actual Navy Officer, a surface missile instructor and a master training specialist, so he is an expert in what he does and confirms there is no Coriolis effect as well as being able to target other ships at 50 miles with a 2 inch direct line of sight pencil beam, which according to spherical trigonometry should be well below the horizon and so called curve of the Earth.

Secondly - ships do not course correct for the curve of the Earth and if you heard some ship captain talking about that, it was probably because you were mopping the floor and it was an inside joke making fun of you. I literally dare you to show the spherical trigonometry you think you need in order to travel the seas or fly through the air.

Airplane pilots, nor ships captains never need to ever calculate for the curve of the earth.

Was the reason Ahab never able to catch Moby Dick because he failed to calculate for the curve of the Earth? I don't think so.

I agree - that's a facepalm!

People have it in their mind they live in Flatland.

Dear snipa - you cant understand a 3d perspective by drawing a 2 dimensional circle, this is the same basic flaw in logic that makes you think the horizon is the curve but looks flat.

Seriously, get a globe and try to work it out.


So tl;Dr dodge. Can't even break down a simple image with what you think us wrong with it



Lol at the above. Why would a plane adjust for curve if gravity is real?

50 words is tl-dr - nice attention span - I ll try not to be so "wordy" when explaining things since you can only understand 3 consecutive words at a time :P

Why would a plane adjust for curve? For idiots that believe the world is curved.

Case in point:

If you're standing in place and you see an airplane overhead fly away from you toward the horizon, dont you think its going over the curve?
