I didn't factor rotation into anything either. I just noticed how much more distance between South Africa and Argentina there is on the flat earth map vs globe map. I think people would notice if the globe map's distance scaling was so far out of whack.
According to mainstream science, the earth rotates roughly 1,000 miles per hour. So you have to factor in that rotation once the airplane goes airborne. Now plug that in to your math with flight distance and times.
You're overcomplicating things
After reviewing both images, wouldn't people be surprised it takes ~3 times longer to go from Argentina to South Africa than from NYC to Poland? Because according to their belief in the globe, both trips are around the same distance.
Im not overcomplicating anything. Your refusing to factor in a fundemental principal of globe Earth which is its rotation.
For starters, how do you land a plane on an object moving 1000mph?
Nobody notices any difference because we live on a Flat Plane.
