I fly to Vegas once or twice a year, almost always out of Pittsburgh.

Based on the map below, Vegas is 2,194 miles from Pittsburgh.

The flight time is usually between 4 and 4 and-a-half hours.

That makes sense because I talked to a pilot who happened to be a passenger on my last flight there, and he confirmed that the planes fly between 500-600 miles per hour.

We're told that the earth spins at around one thousand miles per hour, from west to east.

If that were true, a flight to Vegas from Pittsburgh would only take about 2 hours, because Vegas would be getting closer while the plane is in the air, moving approximately two thousand miles in two hours.

Conclusion: the earth does NOT spin.

conclusion number 2: what is actually the Earth?
