People crazy. Why flat Earth? You can fly by plane and see everything.

It's an experiment to show how unbelievable stupid people can actually be.

Q: As a passenger on an aircraft, how is it I can see the curvature of the earth?

"Quite simply you cannot. It is widely stated you would need to be at a height of at least 40,000 ft to get even a hint of curvature if earth were round. Commercial aircraft are not allowed to fly this high. They are only allowed to fly just under this altitude. 36,000ft might be typical. In addition, the windows on commercial aircraft are small and heavily curved. Even if they flew high enough for a person to see curvature, it would still not be visible to passengers."

This is the general Flat Earth response. Seems reasonable.

The point is that you don't need to see the curvature, you just need to take a plane and fly in a straight line and if you arrive where you started it means the earth is not flat, this has been done countless of times. It's something anyone can do, you don't even need to do a full circle to see the earth is not flat. People have done this hundreds of years ago with boats as well but even without boats and planes people knew the earth wasn't flat thousands of years ago with simple experiments. So if you want to see some of the most retarded people, read the posts in this thread.
