pretty far

proly 93 millino miles

notice how it doesn'tchange size

must be pretty far

nah

it doesn't change size what areyou tlaking about

@ElectroquasistaticMagnetoMan if you stand under a giant spot light and cover yoru eyes, does that mean the spotlight doesn't illuminate anything else

so why do you think the sun can't illuminate the earth, when its behind a smalll cloud

why do you think that sun you see can't illuminate hafl the earth

uh huh

reflection of what

nice

could be a giant guy on a chariot too

or a dragon

or a portal to another universe

all these are as valid asyour idea

zero evidence for all

0 evidence

this is a just an acid trip idea

oh that's easy

us the transit of venus

no

but theres a satelite orbiting the sun

no orbiters around venus right now

@ElectroquasistaticMagnetoMan there's a satellite orbiting the sun

Nice, another plane or something

looks like the sun

wheer is the horizon

@ElectroquasistaticMagnetoMan its been measured

well haley came up with the venus transit method

i forget the guy that actually did it

oh you wanna see the math?

didn't think you were up for it

http://www.exploratorium.edu/venus/question4.html

that explains the math

basically i'ts triangulation using parallax viewing of the venus transit

you draw two triangles

and you know the distance between observers

you don't

you solve for it here

that's not part of the math input

don't need to know

see how that's not part of the math

just need angles

the venus distance is an output of this method

as is 93e6 miles for the AU

sure that's true

but we're not talking about that

we're talking about the method to determine the AU

eh, so is everything

but this actually is useful in the world

so not all theories are on equal footing

k

what's it about

All evidence we have proves teh earth is NOT flat

you don't seem them at night

you see them right after sunset or before sunrise

or during the day

@Derek Nelson is like : https://i.redd.it/zsuo9dv67or21.jpg

@Derek Nelson says the guy that posted an inaccurate understanding of the solar system

when have you seen venus at night

ok

so it's not "on the night side" like the image says

it's when you're looking towards teh sun

check your knowledge before embarassing yourself

@Durpyturttle what does that show

@Seeker of Truth shadow angles as a function of distance from the equator eliminate flat Earth as a possible shape

@Seeker of Truth I'd love to see flat Earth make sense of the rate that shadow angles fall at diff latitudes

Because geometry doesn't agree

K

I did

You can't defend your stance?

Must not be a good one

Come debate me

@everyone, come debate me

In this channel

I can crush you in two sentences

@rivenator12113 that doesn't fit observations

The pattern that they follow as you go further away from the equator does t match what would happen with those divergent rays

@rivenator12113 wrong

Do train tracks converge?

He pinged me here

@rivenator12113 do train tracks converge

What's the equation using that factor

@Seeker of Truth can you pull on a string? What about push on it?

@Seeker of Truth and does direction of force matter?

Therr

@Seeker of Truth I am

Just making sure you're doing it right

That vacuum thing is wrong

In variable form, what is it?

What is that 12 for

Right? Can you push on a string?

Oh ok cool

So what is the equation in variable form

Best way to see that is spaceflight

Vacuum Chambers aren't that big, but you can put a thrust stand in vacuum and test a rocket

We need an equation to test

That's still not an equation
