I'm just curious why we chose to globe earth as our main idea and the idea we want everybody to know? In so many different industry's a flat earth is sooo much easier to work with, surveying, spaceflight, telecom's (radio etc), marine navigation, and even building big bridges and tunnels and other huge projects (may have to check my math on this one but the shuttle runway at the KSC has a height difference of ~26cm due to the earth curve at each end). A big one for me is aviation (I fly aircraft and have multiple family members who build them and work on the avionics), trust me when I say this if the earth was flat aviation navigation would be so much easier. Take a LA to London flight, pretty standard trans Atlantic flight, have you seen the flight path on a map? How it goes all the way up by Iceland and Greenland? Now sure a little part of that huge deviation is for safety but not that much, its mostly due to the earths curve. We can mostly all agree airlines are generally pretty money hungry and will do anything to scavenge every last penny they can out of you, you would think they would want to take the more straighter and direct route across the flat plane, same thing with southern hemisphere flights. This is honestly some of the biggest proof for me that the earth is round. I hope you kinda lead onto what I am saying and I would love to have a genuine debate/convo about this. Thanks!

So say the earth is flat right, I would assume the old civilizations would know this so like when did they decided the earth should be round like what gain does it get them did the nations lik 50 yesrs ago be like “yo guys btw for no apparent reason we should tell people the earth is round” like genuinely curious.
