ok, great

2020-01-12 12:44:25 UTC  

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

2020-01-12 12:44:41 UTC

2020-01-12 12:45:22 UTC  

so i guess the question then becomes: how do we know if the sun is small and local or big and far away

2020-01-12 12:45:44 UTC  

hes given proof the earth is round, if u believe that, u should believe other stuff he said

2020-01-12 12:46:22 UTC  

no, he just said its round lol saying aint the same as proving

2020-01-12 12:46:47 UTC  

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?

2020-01-12 12:47:10 UTC  

if it is small and local, we would be able to fly a drone up to it

2020-01-12 12:47:26 UTC  

well not if its 5000 miles up

2020-01-12 12:47:37 UTC  

thats still local btw

2020-01-12 12:48:13 UTC  

so why isnt all of earth lit up?

2020-01-12 12:49:18 UTC  

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...

2020-01-12 12:49:38 UTC  

maybe there is another way

2020-01-12 12:50:10 UTC  

so all ur doing is making assumptions yet complain when i dont have evidence straight away? the level of hypocrisy is unreal

2020-01-12 12:50:42 UTC  

no im saying there must be a clearer test for that

2020-01-12 12:51:04 UTC  

an easy observation maybe

2020-01-12 12:51:07 UTC  

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?

2020-01-12 12:52:05 UTC  

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

2020-01-12 12:52:13 UTC  

prove it bends light

2020-01-12 12:52:18 UTC  

ohboy

2020-01-12 12:52:22 UTC  

difraction?

2020-01-12 12:52:34 UTC  

when light enters the atmosphere?

2020-01-12 12:53:07 UTC  

all the time in the atmosphere.... light is deviated when it hits small particles of water vapour for example

2020-01-12 12:53:24 UTC  

ok enaugh lol.

2020-01-12 12:54:00 UTC  

the simple way of testing if is far away or close by is based on what the effects of both hypothesis would entail

2020-01-12 12:54:57 UTC  

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.

2020-01-12 12:55:58 UTC  

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).

2020-01-12 12:56:52 UTC  

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.

2020-01-12 12:57:15 UTC  

and that is called: schooling you on debating a flat earther lol...

2020-01-12 12:57:29 UTC  

up your game or you will look like silly children

2020-01-12 12:57:53 UTC  

are u even reading what im saying? <@!356085459186614273> jsss

2020-01-12 12:58:16 UTC  

........

2020-01-12 12:58:41 UTC  

read up you wako and learn some stuff about how to debate a flat earther on their own terms ffs

2020-01-12 12:59:19 UTC  

i was doing a great impersonation, wasnt i? and ffs you guys were failing badly

2020-01-12 12:59:22 UTC  

read up

2020-01-12 12:59:44 UTC  

they were points that could be hand waved very easily

2020-01-12 12:59:57 UTC  

read up... actually nevermind

2020-01-12 13:00:02 UTC  

you do you

2020-01-12 13:00:04 UTC  

jssss

2020-01-12 13:00:31 UTC  

read what i said you wako:
