thankfully all planes dip their noses every min or so to stay along the curve path right?


If earth is a disc, and you fly west continuously, do you fly into space at the end of the disc?

They think you're actually just flying in circles but can't tell
E and the edge of the earth is all Antarctica

Of all the billions and trillions of dollars that are generated in aerospace technology, from Elon Musks amazing rockets to Sirius letting the whole world listen to Howard Stern, and everything in between, you truly believe, like you truly, truly believe that all the navigators of the earth, the shipping conglomerates, the insanely rich airplane manufacturers, all the money that is literally generated every second of every day just in terms of transporting people and goods around the planet earth, all the millions and billions and trillions of dollars generated by that alone, and somehow, for some reason, we are taught a massive lie? This is what you believe?


To what end are we taught this lie? Who benefits from billions of people thinking the earth is spherical? Who is sitting in their dimly lit boys clubs tapping their fingers together saying 'excellent'? Who has what to gain from this enormous lie?

We don't know what they gain from it or why there are trillions of dollars being wasted, or why so many people are trying so hard to keep it a secret. That's why it's such an epic conspiracy

They do it constantly. Believe it or not a significant portion of the instruments on a plane are dedicated to maintaining the plane level with the ground.

Also once you get high enough the lift from the wings decreases due to the air thinning out and eventually it becomes equal to the downward force on the plane and the plane stays at the same height.

only a select few at the top know the lie...

most nasa employees are compartmentalized so they don't know what other employees are doing and get bigger clues to what is going on.
most pilots don't know the truth because they were deliberately trained to do checks and cross checks and always be distracted and focused on passenger safety to even acknowledge what they are seeing outside below them.
most teachers just follow a curriculum and have no idea they are perpetuating the lie.

so NO, everyone is NOT in on it (knowingly)

again, understanding this requires using logic and critical thinking.

The best answer we have gotten from them on why theres a conspiracy have been either theyre all Satanists who hate god and round earth somehow makes people less Christian, or theyre secretly stealing all the NASA money and doing something unspecified.

Its actually not hearsay since I'm not quoting somebody else. Hearsay is "I heard somebody say this", not "I know this fact".

Like your claim that water vapors magnify images. Youre more than willing to believe unsubstantiated claims and never look into it if you think what is being said supports your position. But when it refutes your position suddenly you apply skepticism.

Difference is what im saying can be found in any introductory material on the subject and can be verified ( and is verified) in introductory physics and engineering class (which ive taken and done).
