There are alot of posts on Reddit conspiracy lately regarding hollow Earth theory and various elites visiting Antarctica. I find these theories extremely interesting and they seem to have certain grains of truth contained within. I have seen photographs of US air Force cargo planes landing apparently on the ice. Voat seems to have a smaller number of these theories.
Do you think that any of these claims could be true? I always viewed hollow and flat Earth theories to be bunk, but was interested in generating discussion. I am ready to be swayed one way or another, given the right evidence. I want to believe!

hollow earth, flat earth both are pretty silly.. It's find to be interested in it I guess... but to me they seem like a waste of time to research considering the amount of people from all countries that would have to be in on it for it to be true.
Furthermore, on the 1, in 10^1000 that it happens to be true... it isn't very consequential or relevant to the debates that matter most right now. At least with Antarctica there is something to point to for potential evidence of something (hidden natural resources, military bases, ancient advanced civs or something)... just my two cents.

The earth is flat and every other conspiracy is trivial compared to the master conspiracy of the flat earth.
Flat earth has so much attached to it, to say "Flat earth is silly" or "A waste of time" or "Not relevant to debates" so dumbfounding to even read that. Flat earth destroys everything and proves the credibility of older and ancient knowledge.

I have an open mind, but the curvature of the earth is fairly obvious, especially when viewed from an airplane at cruising altitude. I fly regularly, so I am wondering how you would counter this.

All windows curved on an airplane. All pictures of curved horizons are created using a fish eye lens. No curvature to be seen water is flat just like the earth.
On top of that since you fly regularly you should also know any flight path on the globe can be plotted onto a flat earth map to create a straight line from destination A to destination B.
Cheers.
Since you are open minded I will warn you the only problem with the flat earth theory is that it's the hardest to explain because science has created a bunch of beliefs that have to be adjusted to fit the flat earth concept.

I've heard this argument before and it stands to reason that all straight lines should be curved then. Runways, buildings, city grids, all appear to be straight and square from a plane.
I'm flying again for the holidays, I'm going to bring a ruler.
Thanks for responding!!

No problem it's basically an illusion I don't know how to describe it. My transition was basically -
Flat earth is not possible
Then, Okay maybe the earth is bigger than we think it is because the curvature is not as much as science claims.
Then, okay I don't know how big it could be then because the formula for earth curvature is 8 inches per mile squared. Definitely not visible.
Then it was, okay guys I think the earth might be flat.
Now it's, guys the earth is probs flat, definitely not a sphere. Looking at it from the FE perspective trying to reason back to the sphere earth is hard I can't come back to believing it. Flat water across lakes (I live near Toronto and Niagara falls and you can see straight across the lake.) I also look at the sun rays coming down from above and also don't believe the earth is a sphere.
Doesn't seem as if it's 100 millions miles away, more like 2000 miles away. Picture 1 Picture 2
I know you asked about the moon before so I'll talk some shit about the moon as well. :)
The moon goes through cycles every 29.5 days. The moon itself gives off a light that is cooling, it does not reflect sunlight. The moons cycles are created entirely by the moon and sunlight doesn't actually illuminate the moon.
I don't believe in gravity I believe in density.
