aren't all those pictures with divergent rays altered pictures

2019-07-17 03:11:41 UTC  

they don't look like it was taken by a cellphone

2019-07-17 03:12:02 UTC  

and that cardboard divergent illustration

2019-07-17 03:12:13 UTC  

the beams look *way* too bright with the hand being still illuminated

2019-07-17 03:12:23 UTC  

the light source to have pure white beams would have to be really powerful

2019-07-17 03:12:26 UTC  

or have to go through a fog

2019-07-17 03:12:32 UTC  

to see the beams better which I'm going to assume here

2019-07-17 03:14:23 UTC  

what you're describing are crepuscular waves

here's an example

2019-07-17 03:15:09 UTC  

are you sure that isn't just the tide moving in

2019-07-17 03:15:14 UTC  

idk how long that timelapse is

2019-07-17 03:15:32 UTC  

another image of the rays

2019-07-17 03:15:39 UTC  

as seen from above ^

2019-07-17 03:15:59 UTC  

Shining through openings in clouds (particularly stratocumulus[citation needed]) or between other objects such as mountains, these columns of sunlit scattering particles are separated by darker shadowed volumes. Despite converging toward the light source, the rays are essentially parallel shafts of sunlit and shadowed particles. Their apparent convergence in the sky is a visual illusion from linear perspective. This illusion is the same as railway lines' or long hallways' appearing to converge at a distant vanishing point.

here's an explanation

2019-07-17 03:16:05 UTC  

i can get sources if you need them

2019-07-17 03:17:41 UTC  

also I find it hard to believe that a sun 0.04% the size of the earth can light up half of it

2019-07-17 03:17:46 UTC  

going with the 32 miles number you cited

2019-07-17 03:18:29 UTC  

also notice how almost every picture with divergent rays had clouds in them

2019-07-17 03:18:38 UTC  

not saying correlation = causation

2019-07-17 03:18:47 UTC  

but the evidence seems pretty solid here that the sun isn't divergent

2019-07-17 03:19:27 UTC  

this??

2019-07-17 03:19:44 UTC  
2019-07-17 03:20:14 UTC  

but right now the argument for divergent rays seems pretty weak

@RidleyChozo you can look over what I posted and tell me what you think about it

2019-07-17 03:24:30 UTC  

basically just use a solar filter

2019-07-17 03:25:53 UTC  

here's a *really* cool simulation that uses your model : https://www.geogebra.org/m/C9BcVgd4

2019-07-17 03:26:59 UTC  

still debunks it though
