no because i dont have complete knowledge of the last 2250 years
are you gonna try and disprove me because i dont know the exact name of a philosopher
Eratosthenes
no lol
ok, great
i will only point out that according to NDY that test also works just fine on a flat earth and with a close local sun
(neil degrasse tyson(
so i guess the question then becomes: how do we know if the sun is small and local or big and far away
hes given proof the earth is round, if u believe that, u should believe other stuff he said
no, he just said its round lol saying aint the same as proving
but once again, how can we tell if the sun is small and local or big and far away? how can we test for that?
if it is small and local, we would be able to fly a drone up to it
well not if its 5000 miles up
thats still local btw
so why isnt all of earth lit up?
well the sun could still project light like a normal torch does, right? a torch on a wall would still only project light in a small circle on a wall and not on the entire wall...
maybe there is another way
so all ur doing is making assumptions yet complain when i dont have evidence straight away? the level of hypocrisy is unreal
no im saying there must be a clearer test for that
an easy observation maybe
my torch is not as bright as the sun, yet during the night i can see the rays travelling through the sky. so why cant we see the rays of the sun coming down during the night?
well we do know the atmosphere bends light. so at night when the sun is further away from us, the atmosphere could block us from seeing it at all because the very dim light would be bent away
prove it bends light
ohboy
difraction?
when light enters the atmosphere?
all the time in the atmosphere.... light is deviated when it hits small particles of water vapour for example
ok enaugh lol.
the simple way of testing if is far away or close by is based on what the effects of both hypothesis would entail
it its close by and above a flat earth you would see (at least) 2 effects: a) the sun moving across the sky in a circular path. b) ppl in different locations would see a different side of the sun looking at it at the same time.
but what we observe in reality is: a) always a straight path in the sky; b) all ppl from any location looking at the sun at the same time will see the same side of the sun (it has sun spots, any DSLR with a filter can trak the sun spots).
aaaand going back to the shadows test, one can eliminate the possibility of a close local sun above a flat earth by just using 3 locations and 3 sticks at the same time... that only works if its a sphere.
and that is called: schooling you on debating a flat earther lol...
up your game or you will look like silly children
are u even reading what im saying? <@!356085459186614273> jsss
........
read up you wako and learn some stuff about how to debate a flat earther on their own terms ffs
i was doing a great impersonation, wasnt i? and ffs you guys were failing badly
read up
they were points that could be hand waved very easily
read up... actually nevermind
