If the Earth was really a sphere, helicopters would hover while the location came to them. In Round Earth Theory, the earth "spins" at 1000 miles per hour. In Round Earth Theory, a helicopter just could hover for 4 hours and a helicopter in New York would land in Utah.
Check out the link below from conspiracy science site "Astro-Society" claiming that the earth spins 1000 miles per hour.

Rather helicopters have to fly to their destination proving the Earth is flat.
Because the earth is flat, helicopter pilots have to constantly adjust their controls so as not to fly off into space.
If the Earth were really spinning, helicopters that hover would land hundreds of miles Westwards --- They Don't.
I never really thought of it that way actually. Interesting. Thanks for the post. I look forward to more posts.

You are very stupid, the air and everything you see standing still is already spinning with the same speed as the earth.

Thank you for the Ad Hominum attack. Personal attacks are not a kind of proof for your argument. The air you are talking about has nothing to do with where something is in absolute space. Even if all the air is spinning with the Earth, the object hovering above a spinning globe moving at 1000 miles should move under it.

Yes but the atmosphere is moving along with the earth, thus so is the air and the helicopter. You will have to exit the atmosphere to see the earth passing by because then you are in a vacuum and don't have interference of air.

The Tradewinds blow in a Westerly direction. If the Earth were really spinning in an Easterly direction at 1000 miles per hour, then why would an atmosphere connected like how you claim spin to the West????

Sure - check out my other posts. Research for yourself. Check out all the "scientific" theories everyone clung to that turned out to be false -- like disease coming from aether instead of germs. 120 years ago, Doctors used to close the window instead of washing their hands when they delivered a baby (which caused Purple Fever). Scientists laughed at germ theory. Research it. Check out all the Ex-communists who spent a lifetime believing political scientists only to find out their ideas were false. How about gravity...people used to think Newton was crazy for claiming there was gravity.

Things with mass have gravity. Gravity exists regardless of the shape of an object. Even the Doctor who delivered who had gravity - albeit smaller than something as big as the Earth. Sorry, but this does not prove a round earth at all.

This is very interesting when you think about it. I have been studying the flat earth VS round earth theory for a while now and some of the facts on the flat earth side are very intriguing. I wish people would have intellectual debates instead of insulting others. It annoys me how much insults are towards the flat earthers on many forums.

You are so right. Ad Hominum attacks are not a kind of logical argument that proves a point. Let's just look at the science and the facts.

I encourage you to do an experiment.
Go to any ocean with a boat, two people, two levels, and two telescopes.
Put one person on the boat with a telescope and one on the shore with a telescope. Use the level to ensure that the telescope is exactly level (pointed along the "flat" plane of the Earth)
If the Earth is flat; if water, which seeks it's own level, does not curve with the Earth; then the person on the boat and the person on the shore will NEVER lose sight of each other no matter how far out to sea the boat travels. If, however, the Earth is curved the view will gradually skew until neither of you can see each other at all.
This experiment is simple, relatively cheap, and repeatable.
Attach a camera to your scope that shows the level bubble remains level. If you can do this and travel 200 miles from shore without losing sight of each other (or skewing the level) I will admit you have a viable theory. I'm certain you cannot.

Timeshiftarts---these kinds of experiments have been done and prove over and over again the Earth is a flat plane.
In the 1800's check out the French experiment by Biot and Argo. They put a powerful lamp on the summit of Desert Las Palmas and it would shine on Camprey 100 miles away. The two points are exactly the same altitude. If the Earth were a ball with 25,000 miles in circumference, the light would have shone 6600 feet below Camprey. It did not. It shone at the same spot.
These experiments have been done many times with bullets as well.

Bullets fall along the curve of the Earth with gravity.
In the 1800's a "powerful light" could only shine on an object a hundred miles away, not near enough to reflect a curve over 5,000 miles (today you could use a laser that makes a flat line across thousands of miles)
I suggested using the OCEAN fo your experiment because the ground has terrain. Supposedly a "flat plane" would mean a "flat ocean"

At no point in your explanation were two telescopes maintained at level and separated from each other to the point where they were out of view.
In fact I saw a lot of telescopic lense being MOVED AT ANGLES TO COMPENSATE FOR SOMETHING as they were zoomed in and out.
The "phenomenon" exists on land the same as is does on the sea BECAUSE the land is curved, not in spite of the curve.
Also, I'd be happy to see any person (And there are sufficiently wealthy "flat earthers") simply fly off the "edge" of the earth, turn around and take a picture of it.

Check out the Law of Perspectives. On a flat plain, things get smaller as you go away from it. As you zoom into the boat or a person walking on land who is far away with a stronger lens, you can see the full boat (or person). That would not be possible if the world were globe because the person would be obscured by the earth's curvature.
Here is another video that proves the earth is flat. You can do this experiment and prove we are living on a disk.

The green visible light spectrum of a 10,000mw Helium Neon laser is capable of putting a green dot on the moon (238,900 Miles away)
If the Earth is flat, you should be able to stand on the shore of the Bantry Bay in Ireland and produce a green dot on a sheet of wood on the coast of Atlantic City in New Jersey.
I'll even give you the offset for 200 foot ocean waves and say point your laser from a helicopter at 1000 feet altitude.
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT, THE CURVE OF THE OCEAN WILL BE IN YOUR WAY

Hi Timeshiftarts--- Please address this video. They put the same green laser at 7.5 miles and it shows there is no curvature. Rather than have me go to Ireland and New Jersey---just address this video which you can see. You can see the results. No curve!
