The earth is flat not spherical

Again, with the utmost respect, I do not see how you got your math. Are you suggesting we live on a slope? You agreed to the spherical measurements, and here is a source for the speed. https://answers.yahoo.com... I have shown clearly that you would descend at an incredible speed, and this math has not been proved wrong. My opponent appears to be making this angle up. Flight paths. I ignored the other reasons because my opponent stated that the one I discussed was most likely. Since none of them are plausible excuses for going 5,000 miles in a 90 degree angle from your destination. This will not save anything. The fact that I used a more reputable airline, and NO flights are non-stop, and ALL of them make stops in North America is reason to question any flights that take this "shortest route". Why don't they all take this route? It seems fishy, and probably are not actual flights. This video examines these flights. https://youtu.be... https://youtu.be... 2. Distances sighted. The fact that the Chicago skyline sometimes appears distorted proves only that atmospheric refraction can get stronger, blocking the light in places, and causing actual mirages. Which, as you can see are inverted, opaque, etc. The last link my opponent provides is claimed to be a mirage, but is actually proof of a flat earth, as you can see, the boat is on the visible horizon (you can see a buoy inbetween the viewer and the boat). The water seems to have blended in with the sky, except where you can see breaks in the water. There is no distortions, inversions, etc. Any of the telltale signs of a mirage. "pause it at 1:26 and you will see a clear distortion." A slight distortion is expected through 60 miles of atmosphere. My entire point is that since mirages are a rare occurrence, especially this "inverted type", and this view of the Chicago skyline is visible all day, this cannot by definition, be a mirage. "Oh, and you would have to be able to repeat this anywhere on earth, not only at lake Michigan" As I stated before this is not a lone example, no one up until recently paid attention, while realizing you shouldn't be able to see this far. For example, the Statue of Liberty in New York stands 326 feet above sea level and on a clear day can be seen as far as 60 miles away. If the Earth was a globe, that would put Lady Liberty at an impossible 2,072 feet below the horizon. This https://youtu.be... This https://youtu.be... This https://youtu.be... I could go on, but I think we all get the point. This research is fairly new and ongoing. 4. Reflections on water. The fact that waves exist on a flat surface of water has nothing to do with the overall flatness of the surface. "And one last thing before I conclude this round: The reason I didn't bother bringing any more arguments is because: 1. No more arguments are needed. 2. The instigator has not yet addressed any of the already arguments already presented by me, so I do not see why any more evidence is needed when none has been countered." My opponent offers one non-empirical, baseless claim about flying in circles, and feels this is all that is needed to prove his side. If there were empirical evidence of a spherical earth, I promise, I wouldn't be here. Could it be that there is none? Any would be welcome. Since we are going into the last round, and NO empirical evidence of a spherical earth has been presented, while clear, empirical evidence is shown of a flat earth, we must use Occams Razor and make the least amount of assumptions, that is that pilots make a wide turn in the wrong direction, which you wouldn't be able to tell in reality, and take the empirical evidence that I have presented and eliminate baseless claims and presume the earth is in fact a flat plane.
