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
Kk
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
i told u we are gonna put a stop sign up at the point of sunrise
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
