I see your point. But what about an airplane flying against the spin of the earth, wouldnt flight times take longer as the atmosphere is moving in sympathy with the globe?

Ok let's say you're in the back of the pickup with me and we are playing toss with a baseball. Remember the truck is still traveling at 50 mph and let's say we are tossing the ball at around 10 mph. Can we also pretend that the truck is the earth and the ball is the airplane? Good. Ok here is my point, if I'm at the back of the bed and you're at the front, when we toss the ball back towards me or forward towards you, it will always be traveling at 10 mph either way. Same with a real airplane. Unless you are standing on the side of the road watching us play catch. So you would have to be outside of the earth to notice a difference in speed.

Lake baikal,

I found this post on FB, it makes alot of sense to me.

''GLOBE EARTH BUSTED! NO CURVATURE IN RUSSIA!!! Lake Baikal in Russia is the world's deepest lake and also the 7th longest lake in the world at 395 miles long. There's something very unique about this lake. Every year Lake Baikal freezes over completely, except a small part in the source of the Angara. The rest of the almost 400 mile long lake is completely frozen. The only way this 395 mile frozen ice lake is possible is because the lake is flat. There's one problem. If we live on a round globe then there should be a 104,017 ft (20 miles) curve from one end of the lake to the other. That means that one end of the lake should be 20 miles below the horizon from the other end! There should be a 104,017 ft bulge in the middle of the lake! But this is not the case! The frozen lake proves it is indeed completely flat. Besides when was the last time you saw a curved lake? Lol try going to the other longest lakes in the world and see if you can find the curve! You won't because the earth is FLAT!View attachment 3699899

ok.. so lets try to put this in a way youll understand. i started my solo whisky party so i might get sloppy soon. you even answered this question on your own. water always settles level. so a pond/lake is a terrible example. water will erode/move earth. think when youre looking at a pond and see one side have a slight drop (cliff) type deal and the other side will just be a flat bank thats water level. hope that makes sense. where is that articles proof that the lake has a steady depth? i bet it doesnt, because water will erode the ground so itll sit level. go outside and dig a rounded hole, pour water in it. it will not have a curve. lakes and ponds are a lot different than oceans. sitting water is pretty magical huh?

You are standing on a train. The train is going down the tracks. You are standing still, relative to the motion of the train. But you are actually moving, relative to the observer at the station.

Yes it will not have a curve we are agreed. But the supposed glove is curved, which means gravity would have to bend this lake around to fit the globe. we see it does not. We agree.

Like when you see the mountains far off and it seems like you are barely moving but when you look right outside the window trees are whizzing by is that right?

no we dont.. your picture has no real math behind it.. to get a real answer, youd need a laser to actually get the height of both sides to see if the sides are level.. and i can guarantee you.. they arent

Why when you see buildings from afar, they do not seem curved away from you ? on a ball they should be tilted ever so slightly.
