You think your eyes can see 90 light years away, huh? Aw. Bless your heart. How many times have you watched Star Trek?
No, because I calculated the distance based on how far the light would travel through atmosphere at sea level.
Space has no atmosphere to refract, diffuse and absorb light.
The luminosity would be enough for much further in actuality.
I was being generous by including the atmosphere in my calculation and he was still off by 10^90.
That's not a little number to be off by.
He stated that due to the distance to and from stars as presented by the standard model that a star would not be bright enough to reach earth.
He insisted that it was a mathematical fact that the nearest star would not be visible at the distances that astronomers suggest.
So a human eye can see a candle from 1.6 miles away and a candle gives off ~12 lumens of light.
Luminosity is measured from 2 feet away and a mile is 5280 feet. 1.6 miles is 8448 feet. So a human can see a canle in the night from 8448 feet away through atmosphere at see level. At that distance the luminosity from the candle is 13^(1/log2(8448)) - 1 = 0.21 lumens
now the sun is 35,730,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 lumens according to astronomical estimations based on the amount of light hitting earth. So how far would the sun have to be in order to be an equvalent brightness to a candle, through atmosphere at sea level?
Let's do math, we can reverse the formula with the approprate variables 35,730,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001^(1/log2(x))-1 = 0.021 x = 6.707 x 10^103 feet That's 1.27 x 10 ^ 100 miles
the speed of light is 1.86 x 10^5 miles per second (1 light second) or 5.88 x 10^9 miles per year (1 light year)
1.27 X 10^100 / 5.88 x 10^9 = 2.16 x 10^90
That means that the sun will be apparantly brighter than a candle out to a distance of 2.16 x 10^90 light years.
Modern cosmology says the nearest star is only 5 light years away Modern cosmology says the nearest galaxy is only 2.5 X 10^5 light years away Modern cosmology says the amount of universe we can see with our telescopes so far only reaches out to 4.86 X 10^10 light years.
The sun will be appear to be brighter than a candle for a distance greater than the total distance light could have travelled since it's birth.
The sun will be brighter than a candle for so long that 10 new stars will live and die using material from the sun before that light thins enough to be outdone by a candle.
David doesn't do math.
He insists and that's about it.
Well, that’s a lot to unpack. I appreciate your passion to your science. Can I ask you, how many hours of actual flat earth research have you done? I’m just curious because you seem well researched In the Rockefeller system.
I've researched it enough to actually have a favorite version of the theory 😝
My favorite version is the one with the ice wall, lands beyond the ice, and multiple suns and moons in concentric orbits. I find the idea of multiple suns in outer concentric rings, like electron orbitals to be fun.
I've thought about doing a Flat Earth DnD campain.
I also think that rim world is a nice bit of science fiction and mental exploration in alternative physics and crafted worlds.
Doesn't mean I believe it though.
