Brain insult's. Gee Wiz you've contributed a plethora of facts and nformation to the debate.

Can't be bothered reading the overly long OP but if the Earth is flat (and I have no preference or preconceived idea) when people circumnavigate the world how do they do it? Go round the "ends" and underneath / over? If so, what do they see and why is it not different to everyday experience? If it is flat, why on a clear day can't I see the Eiffel Tower?

You are one thick programmed Borg. Can you not READ Properly. I wasn't insinuating Jetstream. I was explaining about the supposed 1000 mph globular spin you freak. If the globe was spinning at east to west, your supposed flight time would alter flying with and against the so called Earth's spin

Let's do an experiment. Do a standing jump, as high as you can.

Say you were in the air for 0.5 seconds. Using your logic, you'd 'travel' around 220m as you're moving with the globular spin and smash into one of your living room walls.

However, the atmosphere, rather than just the Earth's ground is moving too. Speed is relative. So a person looking up at a plane from the ground sees it travelling say 500mph, but a person walking up the aisle of the plane, is walking at a speed of 3mph relative to the plane, and therefore 503mph relative to the man on the ground for that short time. Relative to a stationary object outside of the Earth's atmosphere, the plane would be travelling at 1,500mph and the person walking at 1,503mph.

Don't start bringing relatives into the equation ... inbreeding is what is responsible for this strange behaviour in the first place.
A trip to the seaside is enough to demonstrate that the earth is curved, not least because you can SEE it from left to right on the horizon.
Also a boat sailing out to sea disappears bottom first, mast last. A boat on a level sea would just get smaller but with ALL parts visible until it was a dot.
Seemples!
Next!

All the boats I have ever observed could have been related to the Titanic, I suppose!

You're humerous, I'll give you that.
As for your line of argument and reasoning, I have to admit that you have converted me.
I suppose I have been flattened.

It's revelations like this that adds interest to an otherwise boring world.
I thank you for showing me the light and also the lengths that some nasty people will go to, to try to pull the wool over our eyes
I'm a new man ... I feel alive for the first time, like some giant burden has been taken off my shoulders in pretending for all these years.
Praise the lord!
By the way, does he live in a flat?
