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
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
u just think u know
Yes, we do. We literally have sun angle data from all around the world.
We aren't primitive like the ancients, we know how the sun works
that is debateable
we know how the sun works
u are sure ?
Yes, in terms of its positioning around the world
i wish i could be as sure as u are in all this
