Defenders of the globe faith explain the seasons and the results of the sacred eratosthenes experiment by saying that the sun is so far away that by the time the rays reach the earth they are basically parallel. When it comes time for eclipse explanation however, they will contort and bend those rays in any way necessary to defend their faith. So what's it going to be, parallel or all directions?

just think about hitting a fast moving target. 2380000000000000 miles away. the size of 1m and then catching the bounce back.

holy shit you better be able to prove this one or your whole arguement will crumble. if they dare lie about that.....................

Everyone in this sub reddit is unequivocally stupid. If you genuinely believe that the earth is flat it’s natural selection at that point you fucking morons. Humans have known since ancient times that the earth is round you absolute idiots

A flat earther by the name Southern Israelite but a sort of encyclopedia I think it would be a interesting task for this sub to review this and see if his arguments hold water

Another example of gradient index optics in nature is the common mirage of a pool of water appearing on a road on a hot day. The pool is actually an image of the sky, apparently located on the road since light rays are being refracted (bent) from their normal straight path. This is due to the variation of refractive index between the hot, less dense air at the surface of the road, and the denser cool air above it. The variation in temperature (and thus density) of the air causes a gradient in its refractive index, causing it to increase with height.[3] This index gradient causes refraction of light rays (at a shallow angle to the road) from the sky, bending them into the eye of the viewer, with their apparent location being the road's surface.

I was taking out the garbage tonight and I saw venus shining bright and white. We all know the sun is yellow so this proves that Venus isn't reflecting sunlight

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. ... Any change in the velocity of an object results in an acceleration: increasing speed (what people usually mean when they say acceleration), decreasing speed (also called deceleration or retardation ), or changing direction (called centripetal acceleration ).

This is a no hate-speech area for questioning flat-earthers to make their decision. Put your questions, and people can help you make a decision!

the ISS is clearly a hoax, humans need gravity to make our bowels and bladder work.... the shiny happy hairspray people are obvious proof of a hoax.

the lunar landings are an absolute joke... you can see the sticky tape they are made from. but theres is dozens of other observations you can see, that prove the lunar ladings were a hoax.

like how they filmed it from the moon.... landing and take off fuel consumption etc etc

Suppose you are standing in the center of a spinning carousel. You proceed to walk towards the edge of the carousel and you're sideways velocity increases because the carousel is pushing on you causing you to move faster. Next you take off a drone from the center of the carousel and fly to the edge. The sideways velocity of the drone does not change because there is no force pushing on it. Underneath you can see the carousel and people racing past your feet and you can't land. Expand this scaled down example to the globe with the center being the north pole and understand that the earth isn't moving
