Well, no. The people from New York and Brazil wouldn't walk east to reach it, they would have to go southern or northern direction

2019-04-24 00:11:16 UTC  

lol

2019-04-24 00:11:20 UTC  

To get to the equator

2019-04-24 00:11:24 UTC  

man i thought we were getting somewhere

2019-04-24 00:11:51 UTC  

Wait, so the sun is right where the stop sign is?

2019-04-24 00:11:53 UTC  

the sun rises east but now if im gonna travel in that direction im not going east somehow ? how does my direction change from east to not east

2019-04-24 00:12:21 UTC  

The sun is rising east from everyone

2019-04-24 00:12:26 UTC  

yes i know

2019-04-24 00:13:25 UTC  

The sun is not where the stop sign is, so you can't use it as an analogy

2019-04-24 00:13:39 UTC  

the stop sign is where we see the sunrise

2019-04-24 00:13:47 UTC  

obviously its not where the sun is

2019-04-24 00:13:51 UTC  

its ont he ground

2019-04-24 00:13:54 UTC  

Yes, but the sun is distant

2019-04-24 00:14:06 UTC  

ok well when we see the sunrise its at the equator

2019-04-24 00:14:36 UTC  

Above the equator

2019-04-24 00:15:02 UTC  

well if the sun is midway from rising its right at the equator line

2019-04-24 00:15:09 UTC  

half the sun is up

2019-04-24 00:15:13 UTC  

It is at the equator but also seen in the north and south, the equator isn't special in this case other than the sun being above it on the equinox

2019-04-24 00:15:15 UTC  

its right at the equator

2019-04-24 00:15:55 UTC  

idk what we are disagreeing over

2019-04-24 00:16:03 UTC  

I think I know

2019-04-24 00:16:11 UTC  

It is over the parallax of the sun

2019-04-24 00:17:49 UTC  

In the Globe model, the parallax of the sun is unnoticeable since it is 93 million miles away approx, so the observers don't visually intersect.

2019-04-24 00:18:38 UTC  

You say they should intersect at the equator as if the sun is right there in the atmosphere

2019-04-24 00:20:18 UTC  

But at the same time you acknowledge that the sun rises east on the equinox, so you redefine east to mean visually to the equator, comparing it to a traversing observer rather than a tangent line extending out to a distant space

2019-04-24 00:20:53 UTC  

when everyone looks at the sun rising on the equinox they are looking at the equator

2019-04-24 00:23:57 UTC  

The sun isn't located on earth at the equator however, so no, it is so distant that each person looks parallel to each other as the point of intersection is unnoticeable from the earth frame of reference

2019-04-24 00:24:31 UTC  

Alright, @garfield the cat has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.

2019-04-24 00:24:40 UTC  

what in the heckin gosh darn are y'all arguing about

2019-04-24 00:25:09 UTC  

@garfield the cat The Equinox and sunrise directions

2019-04-24 00:27:16 UTC  

day after day this east thing gets us nowhere

2019-04-24 00:27:25 UTC  

i love arguing with u though astral

2019-04-24 00:27:32 UTC  

I think it got somewhere

2019-04-24 00:27:32 UTC  

lol

2019-04-24 00:28:22 UTC  

When you said this,
*ur telling me ifthe new york guy and the guy in brazil walk straight toward that point their paths would never cross ?*
I found us getting somewhere

2019-04-24 00:28:45 UTC  

Oh yay, I'm verified

2019-04-24 00:28:49 UTC  

u are saying their paths wont cross i am saying they will though

2019-04-24 00:29:03 UTC  

But where will they cross?

2019-04-24 00:29:23 UTC  

Where they cross, that is where the sun is, right?

2019-04-24 00:29:34 UTC  

idk but u cant have 2 people in different locations walk to the same point and not have them meeting eventually

2019-04-24 00:29:59 UTC  

now im not even worried where the people will meet at this point lol
