United Airlines introduced a new system for boarding passengers on October 26. AdvertisementAdvertisementAn astrophysicist said United Airlines' new airplane boarding system could be even faster. If that were seat 30A, for example, the next person to take their seat would be the window seat two rows in front — 28A. This would carry on until the even window seats on one side of the aircraft were filled, per The Journal. The even window seats on the opposite side of the plane would come next, followed by window seats on odd rows.

☆ How the airline boarding process became such a mess
  + stars: | 2023-09-16 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
And airlines have made it chaotic by design — so people will pay to get an easier boarding process. Decades ago, airlines used to board first class and use an open boarding process for the main cabin. A better boarding processAirlines have been experimenting with different boarding schemes to try to speed up the process. Jason Steffen, a University of Nevada, Las Vegas physics professor developed a boarding method that boards passengers in rows of two. Southwest Airlines has the fastest boarding process of any major airline by simply allowing people to claim the first available seat.

☆ Fact Check-The Earth is not covered by a dome or ‘firmament’

Users on social media are saying people on Earth are living under a dome, also called a “firmament,” without providing evidence to support the claim. But the video’s examples offer no proof of humans living under a dome or firmament, while there is ample evidence that no dome exists. “Rocket hitting the flat earth dome”, reads the title of one of the YouTube clips. SIXTY YEARS OF SPACEFLIGHTExperts pointed out that if there were a dome that covered the Earth, astronauts would have encountered it by now. A video provides no evidence that the Earth is under a dome or “firmament”.
☆ Fact Check-Alexander Gleason’s map of the world does not prove the earth is flat
  + stars: | 2022-10-27 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +6 min
One Instagram user (here) shared a TikTok video which tries to challenge the fact that that Gleason’s map is a projection of the earth as a globe. Gleason argued that the earth is flat in his 1890 book “Is the Bible from Heaven? ALL 2D MAPS DISTORT EARTHAs Gleason’s map is centered on the north pole, the edges indicate the south pole. “A projection of a person on a page is also flat (see Jeff Brown’s ‘Flat Stanley’ character), but people aren’t flat,” Bennett said. Gleason’s map is a depiction of the earth as a globe in a north-polar azimuthal equidistant projection and is not proof that the earth is flat.
