You don’t need to trust NASA to believe the Earth is a globe. You just need to use anything that relies on modern physics: GPS, weather prediction, satellite TV, commercial aviation, even your smartphone. These things work because they’re built on a model where Earth is spherical and rotating. Let’s talk planes. Flights from Chile to Australia are only possible on great circle routes, which cross the southern hemisphere in paths that only make sense on a globe. On a flat Earth, those routes would require absurd distances, extra fuel, and impossible travel times. But these flights happen every day. They land on time. Their routes are trackable. Weather modeling is another blow to the flat Earth narrative. Hurricanes rotate in different directions depending on the hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect, a result of Earth’s rotation. We predict weather globally using this knowledge. It doesn’t break down. It doesn’t glitch. It aligns with what we expect from a rotating sphere with atmospheric fluid dynamics. You don’t have to trust institutions blindly. But the fact remains: the globe Earth model is not a conspiracy, it’s the foundation of every working piece of technology and science that touches your life. If the Earth were flat, everything from long-range missiles to meteorology would fail. They don’t. The model works because it reflects reality.
