Flat Earth Theory. Get off the drugs now, idiot.

Here's your easy guide to find great Flat Earth maps ha ha ha

NASA's International Space Station is a hoax, they didn't land on the Moon, Elvis is still alive hee hee hee

An exercise in rational thinking.. if a plane only needs x000 litres of aviation fuel to fly the 8,000 or so kilometres from Perth to Tierra del Feugo (South America)..... by crossing the South pole... according to Flat Earth theory the plane would run out of fuel and crash... because it has to fly diagonally (ha ha ha) the longer distance from one corner of the map to the other.. Flat Earth theory says that Antarctica is the edge of the map/earth.

Aviation fuel is very expensive. Airline companies make their biggest profit margins by reducing fuel costs. By climbing high into the thin atmosphere where lower gravity and wind resistance saves fuel consumption, and by altering their flight patterns to follow jet streams, trade winds, and local and upper atmosphere weather conditions, they don't always (but nearly almost always) take the shortest route possible. Furthermore, to reduce weight the airplane is only filled with enough fuel to make the journey plus an extra percentage to accommodate holdups circling before landing, changing weather patterns, and other unforseen factors.


Flat Earthers fall flat on their faces when it comes to explaining the economics of flight paths. If the Earth was flat, planes would be falling out of the sky and thousands of people would be dying every day, failing to reach their destinations. It's not 32,000 km from Hobart to Tierra del Fuego, and Quantas only puts enough fuel in to go 10,000 kms. Derr.

Oh and did I forget to mention, when they take off the compass points South, not North. Double derr.
