over short distances, that's teh same as a 2D surface

not different directions its east for everyone

correct fore everyone it rises at an azimuth of 90

east

yep

East points to different spots depending on where you are

except on the equinox at sunrise east points to the same spot for everyone on earth

Nope

does the sun rise east ont he equinox for everyone on earth ? yes or no

The lines are parallel

Yes

i feel like we get nowhere everyday lol

This one's complicated to visualize

itsame u can see it done on google earth or u can watch astrals video where the guy makes his own earth and sun and does it there

It is easy for me to visualize, I don't get what is so hard

link him ur video astral

east is based on your local point where you stand, and parallel to your line of longitude

itsame watch the video i linked i think east takes u to the equator

he already doesnt think u end up at the equator so dont watch astrals his is what i am opposing

I wish I could post pictures here

@jeremy yes if you travelled at an initial heading of east, you'd eventually cross teh equator, that would effectively put you in the same path as an orbit with the inclination of your latitude

ok

boom

perfect

try telling these guys

but that's if you're stuck to the surface

light rays are not stuck to the surface they come from the sun

No, you wouldn't cross the equator, not dead reckoning east.

@AstralSentient well wait lemme think

b/c i think you would

if you set your initial heading as east, and never adjusted it again, didn't look at a compass

your magnetic heading wouldnt' stay east

this is not cut and dry as some people thing

think

Dead reckoning would be directionally east, not based on compass.

at the start?

or throughout the journey
