*Above the equator

^^^

u can see it on google earth at the sunrise its originating at the equator

That just makes no sense

what does that even mean originates at teh equator

the sun rises at the equator

no it rises in the east

in the east for everyone on the equator

no that's the error

did u see it on google earth?

taht's a projection of travel

but light doesn't travel along the surface of the earth

Alright, @earth is round as fuck has been warned for '**Duplicated text**'.

ok wherever it rises that direction is east for everyone on earth so where do u wanna say it is

if you're stuck the globe east takes you to the earth but light isn't stuck to the globe

thats a first

the sun? it's not stuck to the surface of the earth that's for sure

and it doesn't travel like someone walking on the surface

ok the sun is rising in the east freeze frame

im in new york and someone is in brazil

lol what's a freeze frame/

freeze it up

stop time

Your east lines are parallel

nothing moves

@jeremy draw lines that go east, that aren't stuck to the surface of the globe,

ur telling me ifthe new york guy and the guy in brazil walk straight toward that point their paths would never cross ?

then they don't go to the equator

They would cross at about 93 million miles away

@AstralSentient i tried, he can't visualize a tangent, vs a line taht follows the globe surface

In the globe model

I think his last question nails it for me

*ur telling me ifthe new york guy and the guy in brazil walk straight toward that point their paths would never cross ?*

That point where the sun rises on the equinox

@jeremy Do you understand now/

And the answer is, they would cross in millions of miles but at the start they are pretty much parallel, the convergence is too slight on the earth in the globe model that they start off visually parallel

For observers looking at the sun

Oh, and that sorta assumes the sun is a point source, but it would be much larger than the earth technically, but whatever

On a flat earth, each person would have to have a sun of their own east of them, sorta like a rainbow maybe.

the guy in brazil and the guy in ny are walking toward the same point how do they not intersect each other at some point

thats crazy
