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
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
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
we arent talkin flat earth just the globe
if 2 people in different areas walk to the same point they wont intersect thats ur logic ?
Well, theoretically, I could just say they won't intersect, cause why not?
Have a problem with it?
it doesnt make sense at all
if im on the left side of the street and u are on the right side and we both walk towards a stop sign would we intersect ?
They would meet into a giant sun 93 million miles away, the convergence would be so slight, and those lines would just run parallel into the same sun anyways
well hold on
the sun is rising at the equator east for everyone we can put a stop sign up ont he equator where it happens then the guy in ny and the guy in brazil both walk to the stop sign
