Flat earth makes no sense to me. There are things that are experienced daily on this earth that cannot be explained in a flat earth model.
For example?
Example. Here is one. Now I want to actually see a definitive explanation for this. This is a loaded question because you wont be able to explain this accurately but I will propose my questions for laughs and fun none the less. As a flat earther that has done that "research", which is you-tube videos and crayon graphs and little write ups demonstrating absolute PROOF. Flat earther come one come all. Describe and explain the mathematical, completely calculated and verifiable process for over 525,000 years and more the premise and existence of spherical and earth bound process related to our "planet" which is PRECESSION. Btw im not giving any more hints other than precession alone destroys any credible idea thought theory or rationale of the ridiculous ideas presented in flat earth "theory", I doubt you flat earthers even understand what precession actually is but benefit of the doubt. LETS hear it! GO. Oh and link a you-tube video or and say watch this or some 2001 graphic website page telling me go read this and is some regurgitated folklore isnt going to cut it. GIVE me the answers I am Mulder and want to believe!
Also in order for this to be explained adequately one must resolve or explain away the accurate ability to measure spacial distance radially and astronomical / cosmological distance that undulate seasonly by simple triangulation and Parallax formulae for precise calcuations.
gather that tribal knowledge, old wives tales, trickled down internet mind blowing proofs and tell me HOW precession is described and explained away in a FLAT EARTH condition of physicality. Give me themzzzz sciences!
Your sanctimonious attitude make you glow.
Precession is easily explained but you clearly wish to bask in your ignorance.
Enjoy your indoctrination!
Ok explain it. Or did you need time to google the meaning first?
I have spoken to my brother in China before, as well as coworkers in Japan, on video chat. While it is night time where I am, it's light out for them. How is this explained by the flat earth?
Imagine a perspective above the sun looking down on the flat earth. You can look at the UN official seal for a map of the flat earth. The sun's path transits in a circular motion over that map. When the sun is over one half of the map, it's light, and the opposite side is dark.
The sun is not 800,000 miles in diameter and 93 million miles away. The sun is local, estimated to be about 3300 miles away and 32 miles in diameter, which is much smaller than the flat earth plane which is tens of thousands of miles across. Your own eyes tell you this too.
The sailors that used sextants in the past all calculated distances exactly like this, judging the sun to be local and between 3000 - 3500 miles away. Their bearings were always remarkably spot on because they had not been propagandized into the globe lie. The use of a sextant is still a perfectly valid way to circumnavigate the oceans and remains a back-up option if GPS/electronics fail.
Adding to this, you can't use a sextant without making your angular calculations with a flat plane. They would never work on a globe.
So the sun rotates around the earth, shining down like a spotlight. This is something that I have heard as well, and that image I can at least understand. Why, then, would it appear to dip below the horizon, if it remains above it the whole time?
