Interessant

Greta Thunfuck is an Australian Karen In Development

you can't get a PhD in flat earth

Go to earth you'll see it's spherical

@corsair nice story

Genuine question (with followup). The moon in the flat earth model has been said to be close/local. Have any distance estimated been made?

@Pit Droid 3000km

i dont think its accurate

but its certainly not giant rock 150 000 km away floating through nothing

Ok. So the followup question is: why is there only an extremely small change in viewing angle of the moon when travelling in latitude (or indeed as the moon passes overhead)?

Where does 3000km come from?

triangulation

yeah the weird thing is that moon and sun as well are bigger when closer to horizont

they also have different color

triangulation?

Between what points?

Not referring to size, referring why you can see the same face

i dont know

maybe two guys with sticks

just like erastothenes

and since the erastothenes story is made up fake i dont take 3000km as just a number

I did an envelope calculation and for a flat earth model to reproduce the observations of a round earth model, the moon would need to be much higher

in the order of 10^7 meters

which is about 10,000km

3000km is *about* similar

i dont know how this plane of existence works

all i know is that modern physics is a sham

define modern

the old one probably as well

20th century

All 20th century physics is a sham?

maxwell seems alright

bruh

yes

Maxwell seems alright?

So there's no current explanation for why you'd see the same face?
