we must sing the soul song!
actually
Eratosthenes had heard that in Syene, a city south of Alexandria, no vertical shadows were cast at noon on the summer solstice. The sun was directly overhead. He wondered if this were also true in Alexandria.
So, on June 21 he planted a stick directly in the ground and waited to see if a shadow would be cast at noon. It turns out there was one. And it measured about 7 degrees.
Now, if the sun's rays are coming in at the same angle at the same time of day, and a stick in Alexandria is casting a shadow while a stick in Syene is not, it must mean that the Earth's surface is curved. And Eratosthenes probably already knew that.
how high up is the sun exactly
Can someone give me more detail on their flat earth theory.
I.e. position of sun, existence of border, disc or square, what's beneath, what's above, light and gravity and a lot of stuff
Pretty sure NASA isn't the primary contribution to the theory of round earth
Also, the suns size, when it is dusk or dawn, the sun is huge, when it is midday the sun is tiny.
This is an obvious observation ^
Guys.
Questions.
Borders or no borders
What beneath what's above
Where are the moons and the stars
Where do they go when we do not see them
Does light travel in a straight line
Does gravity exist
@RidleyChozo I don't see your point
centrifugal force
Where would you measure the gravitational forces
Okay
you should weigh 800k times as much on the north pole than the equator
Are these skyscrapers parallell? You would only know if you changed position to measure the angle betweent he surface and building, same as the parallell sunrays. The lines converge: https://postimg.cc/XXWCf4Rt/8a7df5d0
because the ball spins 1000mph
on the top where there is no centrifugal force
there should be less weight
It's not that big the force
We do measure differences in gravitational force on earth it is much weaker at the equator
In fact, now, calculate the different in forces
did not know that
