This is admitted when they say science does not prove things
It can't
Beecause inductive logic can't prove anything
Round
Sphere
The earth is round
are you chanting your mantra?
where do i pay the tithe?
It’s proof beyond reasonable doubt
Proof is only for logic and mathematics, yes
They are three different models of light int the context of the earth itself.
I'm talking about Sunlight
Why is the sun’s location indeterminable?
because there is no parallax
and when you try doing eratosthenes style measurements and ue the direction of the cast shadow to get the direction of the Sun, those lines of sight do not converge onto a point in 3d space
I don’t get that video either, it shows an explanation of refraction with sunlight and just pokes fun at it instead of explaining why it’s wrong.
Do you know what ad hoc hypothesis is?
Scientists are often skeptical of theories that rely on frequent, unsupported adjustments to sustain them. This is because, if a theorist so chooses, __there is no limit to the number of ad hoc hypotheses that they could add.__ Thus the theory becomes more and more complex, but is never falsified. This is often at a cost to the theory's predictive power, however.[1] Ad hoc hypotheses are often characteristic of pseudoscientific subjects
Light speeds up/slows down when it traverses different mediums, hence the change in direction
The model is the earth and the earth;s air.
The atmosphere has a gradient in terms of density, so light is continuously refracted and hence the curved path
There is nothing contradictory about that
The there is no reason to have two formulations other than to ad hoc the model
The entire idea of astronomical refraction was to save the globe model
Because the selenelion eclipse
Refraction is an ad hoc band aid applied to everything. There is no model of refraction in the air that makes ANY predictions that can be tested. All claims about refraction being present are POST HOC
🌍 <— right there ROUND
great another cultist
Well I’m sure it’s difficult to model it accurately without knowing the exact refractive index of the atmosphere at any particular point...

Did refraction cause this too?
