But a team of scientists from the University of Zurich challenged this association to deny their new evidence, which is the “latest statistical model”, which once again shows that the Earth is indeed spherical.
The new model predicts the time it takes to fly between two cities after entering the distance between them.
This shows, for example, that if you fly north from Perth, Australia, for seven hours you will land in Hong Kong, while a westbound flight of the same duration and duration will land you in Mauritius.
In contrast, the model indicates that if the Earth were flat, this seven-hour journey west would only get you halfway to Mauritius.
“It was important for us not to favor one model over another, but to find a relatively easy way to prove whether the Earth is a disk or not,” said study author Dr Michael. Wolff.
He added: “Numbers and statistics are the best way to answer a number of controversial questions.
Despite all this, flat Earth theorists persist in denying everything promoted about the sphericity of the Earth, even going so far as to deny images from space, which appear as “conclusive evidence” that our planet is spherical.
