also science and religion have been at war for centuries
eratosthenes ?
u know that worls on a flat earth with a close local sun as it would with a sphere and a far sun right
works
if youre talkin about ships going out to sea well that was proof before telescopes or zoom cameras so they saw a boat go out to sea disappear bottom first but then i zoom in on it and its still there did they really see it going over the curve
clearly not
so how did they observe the curved earth way back then
Well you can't see the curve from sea level, not accurately anyway. We know this, that's just a scientific fact
ok so how did the ancient greeks and egyptians observe it
The Egyptians used a revision of the Eratosthenes experiment using obelisks at certain points and distances measured out. I say revision for lack of a better term, because to the best of my knowledge, they never met the man nor knew of his experiments
i just told u it works on a flat earth with a local sun same as a far sun on a sphere
They calculated the circumference of the earth, much like the prior experiment, reached the same number, and found a curve
ok
sounds legit
Shadow angles would be different on a flat earth with a close sun vs a spherical earth. The shadows angles would have a consistent relationship with distance, say, every x miles the sun angle changes by y degrees, while on a flat earth, the farther away from the sun you are, the more distance you have to travel in order to have the shadows increase length by a certain amount.
Basically, with two shadows, sphere and flat are the same, more than two, they are different.
The sun would also never set on the flat earth unless it went below it.
Huh
Lol
neil degrasse tyson said eratosthenes experiment would worl the same on a sphere earth with a far sun and a flat earth with a close sun
imma just take his word for it
Mike: I am a hollowed earther
Also mike: flat earth is a physically proven fact
🤔
that neil telling u how it is
thats
She said they did a revision of the eratosthenes experiment, meaning it's a different experiment
He literally said it doesn't work on a flat earth, lol
Three wells,
he said it works on a flat or sphere earth
earatosthenes only used 2 wells so
their was no 3 wells in his experiment
And the point is, with a third, flat earth fails.
are u sure
Yes
well maybe maybe not idk
i jsut know the 2 wells in 200 bc would work either way so
they werent sure back then
they didnt know
since it coulda been both
when did they do it with 3 wells ?
So?
It is 2019, we now know
no we dont lol
u think u knoipw
