Kevin Alfred Strom -- 4d Hard to type now, as my head is spinning pretty fast. I just realized that if the mile is longer south of the equator, so must be the foot. This explains why Argentinians are at least twice as tall as Norwegians. reply [1 reply]Hard to type now, as my head is spinning pretty fast.

😂😂😂 I would love to see that too
I don't buy into flat earth because:The time it takes to fly from London to New York to Tokyo to London is significantly shorter than the time ittakes to fly Dubai to Miami to Hong Kong to Dubai, and that time is longer than the time it takes to fly Sydneyto Sao Paolo to Johannesburg to Sydney.This only makes sense if the earth is round and thicker near the equator. If the earth was flat with the northpole in the middle, the Sydney circumnavigation would be the longest, London the shortest. I can't think of anyother explanation.
flights near the edges (Sydney loop) are longer because planes slow down as they approach the abyss, pilotsinstinctively ease off the throttle. London-NY-Tokyo stays central, full speed aheadyour flight time data doesn't prove roundness, it proves 𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭. the closer to the edge, theslower they fly
This makes sense, and also the length of a mile gets longer as you approach the ice wall. At The Edge, itreaches infinite length, showing neatly why they can't show it to us.
Did you just describe earth as a non-euclidean plane?
