Doctored?

There are.

Also, there's this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/560266377391505408/560525176928731166/unknown.png

Jeran*

Question: is Jeran controlled opposition?

XD

@Seeker of Truth Then why do they only occur when the earth appears to be between the moon and sun?

What am I looking at?

Are those memes serious, Seeker?

Polaris changing position https://cdn.spacetelescope.org/archives/images/screen/opo0602a.jpg

Rip

I guess they assume long messages automatically=copypasta

@xelph How dare you make actual calculations!

Define h.

Yep, we totally just believe in the globe because NASA told us to and everybody else is doing it.

The magnetic field that has been public knowledge since long before modern scoence.

Science*

Oh, really?

xelph has some math for you

From my latitude, the summer sun would never get below about 17°

Time to debunk the inverse square law!

Are you seriously suggesting that the sun is just above the clouds. Google "crepuscular rays"

More pretty memes. Seeker is the one who's parroting.

You mean circumference, xelph?

Take a shot of vodka every time someone posts a meme instead of an argument.

Trig has no evidence? Comedy gold.

Except verified equations and personal observations....

Wouldn't be the first

Trig is fake, then?

No curve has ever been observed?

@Derek Nelson This is a photo captured by Jeran himself. It was screenshotted it right when the horizon passed through the centre of the image, where there is no vertical distortion in a wide-angle camera. On the right, it was compressed.

You just rejected trig, and now you're using it against us? Make up your mind.

Is trig real? Yes or no?

Xelph has to post it a third time?

.........

Where is r?

And there is a way to, using Polaris.

Before we go off on a tangent, please just attempt to understand something beyond Algebra 1.

Quote mining.

That's talking about freaking theoretical physics. This is **high school math**

Same, xelph.

Gifted kids ftw

I have a sudden feeling of dread. Idk

-jeran

@Citizen Z Jeranism works for the Illuminati? Got it.

So many -er- interesting visitors.

Would it even go below the horizon @Bear. ?

@Bear. So relatable.

@xelph You should grab some roles.

There's also political and religious roles.

Define troll.

@xelph "That stuff is flat!"

@xelmersmarie Welcome, troll.

​

@xelph We brought more land.

Well duh, nobody ever said you can see curve from ground level.

We'll be measuring the sun's position in the sky and estimate its height with parallax and see if the results ever make sense.

Refraction goes in the opposite direction irl

"~~you can't have pressure next to a vacuum~~" "You can't breathe in a vacuum."

Again, you're showing the lower layer as having *less* density.

.

A local sun would produce a linear change in the sun's altitude with latitude?

The inverse square law is an assumption?

Geometry*

The sun's distance would change by a much larger factor throughout the day.

I mean, flat earthers have already conceded that the sun's heat decreases with distance, since they believe seasons are caused by the sun circling above and below the equator.

Ok, so winter happens up north when the sun shifts south?

Is anyone going to answer my question?

Are seasons caused by the sun circling closer/farther away or not?

@Seeker of Truth Ok, so the sun being farther away means we get less heat?

Since we agree that the sun isn't somehow immune to the inverse square law, why does it not get smaller and darker in the afternoon?

You said that seasons occur because the sun gets farther away.

We agree that more distance = less heat

**only**

Ok, so why does the sun not slow down as it approaches the horizon?

Well, none of that answered my question, so I'm guessing you can't.

^

Who said an equation proves itself?

Please don't tell me that's a thing.

I mean, the existence of a pressure gradient alone constitutes a fairly good reason to expect a vacuum or near vacuum at some point up there.

Do you realise how slowly that balloon is moving?

Ok, so how do actual satellites move across the moon's face in a fraction of a second if they're just balloons?

How fast do the balloon satellites move?

!rank

What aether?

Of course it looks flat.

Pretty cool how they can fly like planes.

But wait, NASA is full of lies! How can you trust this video?

In my experience, most people aren't even interested in NASA.

Not really. From hundreds of thousands of kilometres away, the shadow will have vanished.

I can't even imagine how massive your billboard would have to be to cover the sun from that far away.

Is going to cover up a significant portion of the sun from 240,000 miles away?

Hindenburg's angular size from moon at perigee: 0.000011776° by 0.00000198°. Since the sun's angular size is about 0.5°, this would mean the Hindenburg would only cover 0.0000000373% of the sun from the moon. That's not gonna cast a shadow.

Well, there's the fact that they only happen when the sun and moon are opposite each other, plus the round shadow on the moon whose size varies from eclipse to eclipse: larger when the moon is closer, smaller when it is further away.

Sooooooooooo........ If that's not a shadow, I don't know what is.

Yeah, this is pretty pointless.
