I just gave an accurate answer to the question posed on what the model is. I am not a flat earther. From you pulling this point out your ass_it looks like you are reading on the subject.
No, but I play a lot of Maptap and I have flown around the world multiple times in my business career.

Spooky stuff. Like literal magic.

Personally I go with the many worlds interpretation.
Not easy for anyone living in our gravity bubble to comprehend.

Wave-Particle Duality: Classical objects follow definite, single paths. At the quantum level, particles can display wave-like properties, such as interference and superposition, making it possible for single particles to be in multiple states simultaneously

Conceptually, this seems applicable to a lot of stuff inside our gravity bubble.

The point of no return for a black hole is called the event horizon. It is an invisible boundary where the gravitational pull becomes so immense that nothing—not even light—can escape. Once matter or energy crosses this mathematical threshold, it is inexorably pulled toward the singularity at the center

While General Relativity flawlessly models massive objects and gravity, quantum mechanics rules the subatomic world. When physicists attempt to combine them, the equations break down, highlighting the need to understand how the fabric of reality is constructed at the smallest scales.

Because the event horizon is not a physical wall, you wouldn’t feel a jolt. According to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, passing the boundary is mathematically invisible in the exact moment of crossing. You would only know you crossed it if you look backward and see that all light and the entire universe outside have permanently vanished from your view.

This is why I think it is multiple universes and not some weird “the waveform collapses when measured”. I just think our universe is more or less continuously splitting. Everything seems to work when you follow that path*

* I am about as far from knowledgeable about particle physics and cosmology as one can be so am mostly talking out my a$$. But I am fascinated by this stuff.

It completely abstract to me having lived in gravity for many years, The splitting would seem to work with entanglement from my limited understanding.
.
This is inconceivable to me.

Measurement: When you measure the spin of the first electron and find it is pointing "up," the superposition collapses. The second electron instantaneously "knows" its state must be "down," even if the two electrons are light-years apart.

Yeah as Einstein said it is literally spooky.

Are flat earthers still a thing? Seems it was a big thing for a minute when people learned there are morons out there that believe the earth is flat and just falls off a cliff into space I guess?

For the good of the genetic pool, any and all flat earthers should be rounded up and shot into space on a one way rocket with huge windows. The irony of them seeing a round earth as they hurl towards eternity would be too rich. My only request is that their realization and eventual terror be broadcast back to land so I can watch.

The "weird" part of that is that the wave function collapses without any transfer of information between the two particles. It happens simultaneously - not at the speed of light or the speed of anything else. It's instantaneous as best as we have measured it.

"So you can feel a car moving at 10 mph in a straight line..."

Ummm... assuming a constant speed... no, you can't. You can only feel acceleration... a change in speed, direction, or both. That's how simulators fool you - they use the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s/s) to mimic the acceleration you feel when a moving vehicle changes it's motion.

You have passed this flat earther pop quiz. Congratulations.
