Flat earther, invokes lift and autopilot....
🛩️✈️🛬✈️🛩️✈️🛬✈️🛩️🛬
🔴Floyd If only you understood anything. And I mean ANYTHING at all. Not even ONE thing!
Lloyd Smitherman (Debate this)🤣
So I'm not going beyond your FIRST POINT, because your very first point completely debunks your entire argument!
😂🫵 Fella fella! Your VERY FIRST POINT just destroyed your own argument!
You claim aircraft maintain altitude using lift and autopilot, without accounting for Earth's curvature.
Excellent! Let's examine the ACTUAL physics governing aircraft flight! ✈️🌍
1. THE LIFT EQUATION
L = ½ × ρ × V² × S × CL
Where:
- L = Aerodynamic lift
- ρ = Air density
- V = Airspeed
- S = Wing area
- CL = Lift coefficient
Lift is a measurable aerodynamic force. It doesn't magically eliminate gravity!
2. THE GRAVITY EQUATION
Fg = G × M × m / r²
Where:
- Fg = Gravitational force
- G = Gravitational constant
- M = Earth's mass
- m = Aircraft mass
- r = Distance from Earth's centre
Gravity acts toward Earth's centre, and its direction changes as the aircraft travels around the globe.
3. THE EQUATION THAT DESTROYS YOUR ARGUMENT!
For simplified steady, constant-altitude flight following Earth's curvature:
L − mg = mv² / (R + h)
Where:
- L = Aerodynamic lift
- m = Aircraft mass
- g = Gravitational acceleration
- v = Aircraft ground speed
- R = Earth's radius
- h = Aircraft altitude
This simplified equation assumes lift acts radially upward, thrust balances drag, and Earth's rotation is neglected.
THERE IT IS! GRAVITY, LIFT AND EARTH'S RADIUS IN ONE EQUATION! 😂🫵
4. NOW LET'S EXAMINE YOUR AUTOPILOT CLAIM!
An aircraft's autopilot maintains a selected altitude using feedback from its altitude sensors and flight-control systems.
A simplified altitude-control relationship can be written as:
Error = Target altitude − Measured altitude
A common proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control relationship is:
Command = Kp × Error + Ki × ∫Error dt + Kd × d(Error)/dt
Actual aircraft autopilot algorithms vary by manufacturer and aircraft type.
Notice something important?
The autopilot doesn't have to calculate Earth's curvature every second or continuously command the pilot to push the nose downward!
It simply responds to altitude deviations.
5. AND HERE'S THE PHYSICS YOU FORGOT!
Gravity provides the inward acceleration needed for the aircraft to follow Earth's curvature.
Lift opposes most of the aircraft's weight.
The autopilot maintains the selected altitude by adjusting the aircraft's flight controls.
The aircraft follows a curved path around Earth without requiring a continuous nose-down command.
THE AUTOPILOT DOESN'T NEED TO EXPLICITLY CALCULATE CURVATURE FOR THE AIRCRAFT TO FOLLOW IT!
And let's be scientifically precise: the equations above describe the physical forces and a simplified feedback controller. They are not a claim that every autopilot internally uses these exact formulas.
😂 YOUR VERY FIRST POINT IS COMPLETELY DEBUNKED!
You claimed that because pilots don't deliberately lower their noses, Earth must be flat.
But that conclusion doesn't follow from the physics!
Aircraft maintain altitude through aerodynamic forces, gravity, flight-control feedback and altitude references.
None of that requires a flat Earth.
And now you want to organize a debate where you can film yourself yelling?
Fella fella, we haven't even made it past your FIRST POINT! 😂🫵
ONE FINAL QUESTION:
If Earth is flat, provide YOUR alternative mathematical model that accurately predicts the measured forces, gravitational acceleration and constant-altitude flight paths worldwide, without relying on Earth's radius.
Show us the equations, the measurements and the predictions!
Because science isn't about who yells the loudest.
IT'S ABOUT WHO CAN PRODUCE THE MATHEMATICS AND VERIFY THE RESULTS! 🔬🌍

😂🫵 Lloyd Smitherman, fella fella!
Flat Earthers are all the same!
You make claims, provide ZERO verifiable evidence, and immediately backpedal when challenged.
Not once have you provided:
- A single credible source link.
- A peer-reviewed scientific publication.
- Any supporting documentation.
- A measurable, testable prediction.
- A mathematically consistent Flat Earth map or model.
NOTHING! Just claims! 😂
And the moment those claims are challenged with actual physics and mathematics, you start Gish Galloping to another subject!
You've done it repeatedly today.
You even quoted a pilot handbook, only to have your interpretation challenged by the very physics you were attempting to argue against!
It takes me about 1.3 seconds to identify the flaw in your argument, yet you want to film a confrontation while shouting and jumping between unrelated claims? 😂🫵
Fella, that's not scientific debate. That's avoiding accountability!
ONE SIMPLE QUESTION:
Can you provide ONE documented, independently reproducible measurement that supports your Flat Earth model, complete with the methodology, equations, and predicted results?
ONE, Lloyd. JUST ONE.
