The surface of Earth has nothing to do with a plane's flight being level, or being in an ascent, or being in a descent.
By George!
I think he's got it!
Never heard of google, have you?

TRUE science uses physics, and real measurements - not absurd 'catch-all' theories.
You mean like when Erastothenes measured the size of the round earth over 2000 years ago?

Why don't you launch your own goPro? You're not getting anywhere talking about flight dynamics, it's a dead end. Take some pictures from space yourself if you don't trust NASA's pictures, or these or other goPros or similar attached to rockets.

There's a rapper trying to get funding for a project along these lines, but I think it can be done for a lot less than his figures. If the rapper got pictures of a round earth from space in that project, would you even believe those? Or would that just mean he went from being a flat-earther to being hijacked by the round earth conspiracy?

You seem to confuse two things your denying gravity exists. Gravity is the name we give to the phenomenon that objects accelerate towards each other when they are otherwise left to their own devices. We know gravity exists through experimentation and the cool thing anyone can try it. Pick up anything then drop it and watch two objects attract. If your object flys up you successfully disproved gravity congratulations.The “proof” of gravity is the demonstration that the phenomenon happens.

Now here's where your confusion comes in we know gravity exists what we dont know is why? I can measure this force this attraction if you will using the Cavendish experiment for example. I'll include link below. So here we can show this force exists problem is we only have theories as to how it works. There is no way to absolutely rule out the idea that gravity is caused by invisible, insubstantial pixies that have an obsession with everything having to be as close together as possible. Until we find these pixies or figure out what causes gravity we are stuck with theories. The best current one we have is einstines but his explanation is gravity is the bending of space.
So for now you can believe in pixies or bent space or anything else for that matter. However you can't deny gravity doesn't exist its experimentally proven every day.

I'm still waiting for anyone to address the VSI reading about 5 feet per minute during every flight, ever done....
When the VSI reads 0 feet per minute over a 6 hour flight, you would be about 1800 feet higher in altitude over a round Earth. But the altimeter doesn't change at all, it is the same altitude throughout the 6 hours of flight.
'Trust your instruments'.
I do, indeed, trust the instruments. They measure descent, ascent, and level flight. They measure altitude, as well.
What about you?

Ever hear of air pressure... or lift?
for the 20th time
And they don't "fake" 0g on the ISS... Theres only one way 0g can be simulated on earth... and its on a plane
Pressure in air, or water, exists as it does, without gravity, the most imaginary force which never existed.
