Quoting "Heaven and Earth" by Gabrielle Henriet, "If flying had been invented at the time of Copernicus, there is no doubt that he would have soon realized that his contention regarding the rotation of the earth was wrong, on account of the relation existing between the speed of an aircraft and that of the earth’s rotation. If the earth rotates, as it is said, at 1,000 miles an hour, and a plane flies in the same direction at only 500 miles, it is obvious that its place of destination will be farther removed every minute. On the other hand, if flying took place in the direction opposite to that of the rotation, a distance of 1,500 miles would be covered in one hour, instead of 500, since the speed of the rotation is to be added to that of the plane. It could also be pointed out that such a flying speed of 1,000 miles an hour, which is supposed to be that of the earth’s rotation, hasrecently been achieved, so that an aircraft flying at this rate in the same direction as that of the rotation could not cover any ground at all. It would remain suspended in mid-air over the spot from which it took off, since both speeds are equal."

This is out of my area of study, so please be transparent with me; what do people who say the earth is round say to refute what you are saying about airplanes landing? They must have some science and math based answer to explain what you are saying is wrong. I doubt they just said that your theory, or whoevers theory it is, or what you say is fact, is a correct theory. They must have a answer to refute you. What is it? How do you deny their answer? What is your math and science and logic that proves them wrong when they say mathemactically this is why planes can land and why you are wrong?
If the Earth and its atmosphere were constantly spinning Eastwards over 1000mph, this should somewhere somehow be seen, heard, felt or measured by someone, yet no one in history has ever experienced this alleged Eastward motion; meanwhile, however, we can hear, feel and experimentally measure even the slightest Westward breeze.
In his book "South Sea Voyages," Arctic and Antarctic explorer Sir James Clarke Ross, described his experience on the night of November 27th, 1839 and his conclusion that the Earth must be motionless:
"The sky being very clear … it enabled us to observe the higher stratum of clouds to be moving in an exactly opposite direction to that of the wind--a circumstance which is frequently recorded in our meteorological journal both in the north-east and south-east trades, and has also often been observed by former voyagers. Captain Basil Hall witnessed it from the summit of the Peak of Teneriffe; and Count Strzelechi, on ascending the volcanic mountain of Kiranea, in Owhyhee, reached at 4000 feet an elevation above that of the trade wind, and experienced the influence of an opposite current of air of a different hygrometric and thermometric condition … Count Strzelechi further informed me of the following seemingly anomalous circumstance--that at the height of 6000 feet he found the current of air blowing at right angles to both the lower strata, also of a different hygrometric and thermometric condition, but warmer than the inter-stratum.
Such a state of the atmosphere is compatible only with the fact which other

false.
every pilot ever who has taken the same flight path east-west and west-east has experienced that they need to use more fuel to travel against the rotation of the earth.
as previously explained, the earth is hung in the vacuum of space (re: Job 267) - there is nothing to cause a drag force on the rotating earth that would produce the extreme winds you falsely claim should appear.
every storm in the southern hemisphere rotates opposite to the direction that storms in the northern hemisphere rotate, because of the coriolis force.
flat-disc-earth cannot explain either of those readily observed, countless-times-verified phenomena.

Whoa, wait one second, hold on...
I don't know much, but I know any good researcher studies not only his theory, but looks at others too, so he can get a wider understanding of the bigger picture, and a honest researcher usually has a openess until they are convinced through much time and labor and scientific means that their position is true or not.
I know that with nutrition I studied not only about foods and the effects of them on the human body, but also meds, and the treatments of chronic and acute diseases by the established conventional medicine.
So your telling me you have not even considered the other view?
If yu have not, you did poor research.
If you have, what do they say?
