There is a 740 mile curve or hump of water from california to hawiiai if the earth is a ball i think distace from ca to hiwia is 2k?, "escapevelocity" or not the plain still must point down but airplains dont do that they fly up to 35k feet then str8 then descend

I know you're trying to apply logic to your thinking, but why doesn't that logic tell you that if a plane points its nose down it will crash?

it would have to point down every so often because the altitude would increase on a curved earth when traveling

It isnt, its an oblate spheroid.

Johnny, are you aware of "gravity", and have you studied it's effects?   :-\

are you aware that the more you want to try and understand something the more you must just accept some "experts" take on it?

You know a plane constantly fights gravity? Like swing ball. The ball doesn't travel down toward the pole but the string keeps it from flying away.

For him, "gravity" is just another Sandra Bullock film.

His mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

His mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention.

  • Hello Hunior

So you don't accept the fact that planes are actually constantly fighting gravity and to just maintain altitude relative to the earth requires lift?

It's pretty amusing to watch this dummy constantly use other people's info to tell us how stupid we are for using other people's info.
