Right.

Key word sphere.

Flat earths don't have spheres

It'd just be north and south I guess

This was what Aristotle discovered on opposite sides of the Mediterranean.

And time zones are a pretty good indication

Yeah, that makes sense

Since earth spins on its axis. So when it's dark in say...Australia it's bright in Britain since they are on opposite sides of earth.

That's what happens when you pay attention in school :)

the night/day cycle is answered by the above the gif I posted, though.

But how does it spin?

Also, how does that gif explain eclipses?

What spin? the sun and moon? Dunno. I've heard some explanations suggest some sort of electromagnetic force, but flat earthers will openly admit they don't know either.

Solar eclipses are explained the same way - the moon travels in front of the sun. Lunar eclipses, though, are tough to explain.

I've heard one explanation of a mysterious *other* celestial body that travels in front of the moon.

the thing is though

solar eclipses are explained by the round earth theory

in general

well

actually by the theory of relativity

and gravity

and gravity existing would disprove the existence of a flat earth

@Drewski4343 the spotlight theory doesn't work. Think about it, if it did you would still be able to see it

Its like a theatre spotlight - just because it's not on you, you can still see the spotlight.

the spotlight theory?

the gravity doesn't exist

so why aren't we floating?

what could exist in place of gravity?

because we are heavier than the air

but being heavier means nothing if you aren't being pulled down

you can't be pulled down if nothing is pulling you

even if you're heavier

weight is only the effect of gravity on mass

ron would explain it to you

i don't have time

@AnIcelandicLoser🇮🇸 Their explanation is that the sun is much smaller and closer than the Heliocentric sun. As it moves further away, the light scatters until eventually there's darkness.

maybe you should talk to him in vc

ron?

ronsheckelson

i can't

i just don't get it
