No, what I'm saying is that (a) there are calculations, predicated upon a global earth, and upon heliocentrism (or "not upon geocentrism", which would be a better way of putting it in some cases, such as positions of stars and galaxies), that make sense, work the same way every time, and can be proven to be correct mathematically, and (b) if these make sense and arrive at the correct conclusions, such as precisely where and when a solar eclipse may be predicted to have totality, then is there a separate set of "true", "flat earth" calculations that arrive at the exact same conclusions, calculations that the scientists and astronomers are really using "when they catch everyone else's back turned", and that are also provable to be correct mathematically?
You point out that your contact "believes in the curve", and presumably uses the commonly accepted calculations, yet arrives at the conclusions that we can see, such as predictions of totality down to the second as we saw in 2017 with the solar eclipse.
Also, how do these "emergency landings" only make sense on a flat earth? Do they sometimes take place in farfetched locations, instead of someplace over what one would expect to be a reasonable distance from the flight path they claim to be following? Do they happen in places where you would expect them to on a flat-earth map with the North Pole at the center?
And as long as we're talking poles, how can a compass point south if there is no "South Pole"?
I have no agenda here, I'm just trying to think logically about the scenario.
Yeah, I really don't know much about the solar calculations and have questions on that as well.
What I was saying about my land surveyor is that since the earth should have an 8 inch adjustment every three miles (I believe?), did he have to calculate that in. The answer was that he believed the adjustment definitely has to be made but he didn't have to do the math every time because they use formulas where it was already "baked in" so to speak.
So with the solar calculations are the scientists using calculations that were already made for them a long time ago and they never bothered to go through it and check the math? This is similar to doctors using the PCR "test" without bothering to see if the "virus" was ever isolated or purified and if the test is really looking for what they think it is. They just trust the science of the other "experts".
The thing that doesn't make sense about the stars with a spinning globe hurtling through space is that we see the same stars for thousands of years.
The emergency landings are way off course and don't appear to make sense.
