Got a question for all the flat earthers :

How do you deal with the fact that eclipse ground tracks are predicted by the spherical earth, gravity, and heliocentric setup?

ya they are

wanna see the source code that does it?

saros doesn't predict ground track at all

@Citizen Z ya but if your code was accurate i'd find that interesting

but you dont' have that

i have a physics model that uses gravity and spherical earth that predicts the ground track

do you have that

lets see the eclipse ground track prediction using your flat earth

and local sun

and local moon

solar eclipse of course, since i said ground track

hmmm dunno

just like we don't know what the electroweak force IS

ok cool where did this info come from

the saros cycle?

or something else

wait i thougth you guys said west to east was impossible, for the 2017 eclipse

now west to east is normal?

which one is normal

ok well here's how they're ACTUALLY predicted:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Propulsion_Laboratory_Development_Ephemeris

nothing to do with patterns, or saros cycle

saros cycle is the pattern that emerges due to the mechanics of the solar system

"nuh uh" doesn't do much

ya that's the model, it works

where is your model that works

@Citizen Z no you're wrong

why do you think that

you can see teh source code that uses this method yourself

sorry man dunno how you got there

explain please

because nasa doesn't use the saros cycle they use this ephemeris

really?

can you show me where

whos source code

red herring

who's source code did you refer to

@Citizen Z so you have made a claim that is baseless

wanna see me support my claim?

@Citizen Z https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEsearch/SEsearch.php

The solar eclipse predictions were made using the VSOP87/ELP2000-82 solar and lunar ephemerides.

Suck it
