you can't get a PhD in flat earth
Go to earth you'll see it's spherical
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?
Maxwell's laws are what kickstarted all of 20th century physics pretty much my dude
what face? of the moon?
Yeah
moon is not physical object according to most flatearthers
yeah so 19th century physics sucks as well then
lol
