Who said it was a sphere?
oh dedar
😂
K.
I dont know what else to say light curves around the earth because of refraction due to decrease in density with altitude
No...
U mean like this?
How does light curve around the Earth?
I am talking about atmospheric refraction not gravitational but yeah it would look something like that
<a:WumpusThumbsUp2:611211888595959842>
it refracts around the earth
I made an explanation let me copy and paste it for you
when you point a laser directly forward the laser starts to gain altitude and so the air around it is less dense since light bends away from the normal which would be 90 degrees directly into the sky it will follow the earths curve
There is no curve though.
Curve of space time
I am saying that in a globe earth the curvature is hidden by atmospheric refraction
and so you have to significantly increase the range of your observation to actually see objects disappear below the horizon
and spacetime curvature is undeniably real which proves that space is real
because if you look around the sun during a solar eclipse you can see that the apparent position of the stars has changed in exact accordance to general relativity
and if you look at stars with exoplanets you can see them wobble and that wobble is caused by the gravity of those exoplanets effecting the parent star
and in case you want to that those exoplanets are not real and those stars are just wobbling for whatever reason sometimes you can see them eclipse around those stars which is detectable by observing how those stars dim when they obscure some of our view of those stars
u want a ban?
who
Nio obvs
yeah the more time I spend here the more increasingly hard I find it to believe that these people actually believe in this
not only that but with the proximity that flat earthers tell us that the moon has to us when we view the moon when it is close to the horizon it would have to either A. appear elliptical to us (thats if the moon was flat) or B. we would see new features of the moon (if the moon were spherical)
dont judge the thing youre stood on by the light bulb on the ceiling eh
Science has proven time an again a flat motionless eart
unfortunately I cant according to flat earth the moon is a totally impossible object.
your moon distance only exists because of an added assumption, so youre the ones with egg on your faces!
Bolt no trolling

explain moon distance please!?
but if your saying the moon were any further out then it would be visible across the entire earth
im asking you the maths please
how is it determined to be almost 400,000km
well you could probably use tides to confirm its mass
tides are not proof, an also not caused by the moon.
