thats the whole thing lol
they are both gonna intersect
no?
Ok, now imagine that stop sign is hundreds of miles away, and the people only say 20 feet apart, they walk and eventually meet the stop sign, they are pretty much walking parallel because the convergence is too slight to notice at the start.
but it converges
Yes, but the parallax is so slight between the observers that it is pretty much in the same direction relative to both of them
they arent 20 feet apart ones in new york ones in brazil
Even if 100 feet, the scale would be like hundreds of miles if we are to try to make an analogy
im making a real world prediction the sun is rising at the equator im gonna put a stop sign there at the equator at the moment of sunrise so its blocking the sun so now both the people in new york and brazil are looking at the sun and the stop sign
the both walk east to the stop sign
do they intersect
?
yes or no
I'll say no, because it is simpler
what
2 people in different locations walking toward the same spot dont intersect that is simpler ?
Yes
hi
The sun isn't behaving like that anyways. On a globe, it is millions of miles out.
In the Jeranism diagram, they assume the sun is right there on the equator when according to the model, it is out in space
its in space but everyone sees it at the equator east
i realize its millions of miles away but we all see it at the equator east
i can see neither of us will ever change our minds on this
lol
i believe 2 people in different locations walking to the same point will intersect u dont
or meet at that point
It is east at the equator, east in Los Angeles, east in Sydney, those lines are pretty much parallel, the lines drawn to the sun, they don't intersect. It is simpler to assume that than them not being parallel but converging at some distance. In the Globe model, the sun is so far out that we couldn't tell the difference, the lines converging at millions of miles would look parallel to us.
They don't visually intersect
when the sun rises and u see the sun we put a stop sign up right when the sun first appears at the horizon
right
can we do that
Yes
ok where would the stop sign be
on the equinox at sunrise
Looking east
yes but where will the stop sign be
where ont he globe
Wherever the sun is setting?
sun rise
Rising
