Unlocking Biblical Truths: A Direct Test of the Flat Earth Model Flight Times

A Direct Test of the Flat Earth Model: Flight Times

The flat earth model has gained attention in recent years, challenging the traditional spherical earth model. In order to test these alternative views, a numerical analysis was conducted comparing the two models. The goal was to compare reported airline flight time data with two distance measures: the "great circle" distance of the spherical earth theory and the "straight-line" distance of the flat earth theory.

In the flat-earth model, longitude lines radiate outwards from the north pole to the supposed southern polar ring. This results in distances becoming greater as they move further south. By comparing distances to travel times for distant places in the southern hemisphere, it is possible to determine if the flight times match the calculated distances.

The study used flight data from Johannesburg, South Africa, which has non-stop flights to various cities on different continents. The distances between these cities were carefully measured using a ruler on a printed copy of a flat-earth map obtained from the Flat Earth Society website.

To compare the measurements to the spherical earth model, a medium-sized globe was used. A string was held on Johannesburg, and an attempt was made to create a great circle to each city. The length of the string from the end to where it was pinched was then measured to the nearest half-cm.

The data revealed a tight correlation between flight time and the spherical earth model, while no correlation was seen between flight time and the flat earth model. The normalized data confirmed this, indicating that flight times align with the great circle distances of a spherical earth, but not with the straight-line distances of a flat earth.

It is important to note that if flight times are inaccurate, it would require a massive conspiracy involving millions of people in the airline industry and billions of passengers. Additionally, passengers on different flights would report seeing different things out their windows if the earth was flat. For example, passengers on a flight from Johannesburg to Sydney would see the southern Indian Ocean throughout the journey, whereas on a flat earth, they would see the Himalayas.

The conclusions drawn from this experiment are clear. The flat-earth model fails to reflect reality, while the spherical earth model remains consistent with flight time data. Rejecting this evidence would mean rejecting widely accepted data upon which our society is built. It is important to carefully consider the implications of adopting a flat-earth perspective and recognize that this study provides a level of analysis not often seen in flat-earth arguments.

Why This Matters: The debate between the spherical earth and flat earth models has implications for our understanding of the world and our place in it. Scientific evidence supports the spherical earth model, and this study further reinforces its validity. Understanding the shape of the earth is foundational to fields such as geography, navigation, and even satellite technology.

Think About It: When evaluating scientific claims or alternative theories, it is crucial to consider the evidence supporting each view. In this case, flight time data overwhelmingly aligns with the spherical earth model. This study highlights the importance of critically evaluating information and acknowledging the vast body of scientific evidence that supports our current understanding of the world.
