I watched the video but it is wrong. I have checked the size of the sun at sun rise, midday and sunset. Using the appropriate safety glass so I could look safely at the sun, I marked the size of the sun at the three times and it is the same size! Which is really interesting considering that...

If nothing existed before God created everything, do terms like "light" and "dark" have any meaning when there is nothing?

I watched this video and I am wondering why the presenter made such a big deal about perspective but completely ignored the effect that perspective would have on the size of the sun as it approaches the vanishing point. Perspective says the sun gets smaller. But everytime I watch the sun set...

The reality is that the horizon never rises to meet your eye. Our eyes perceive that it does because it is always in our peripheral vision. Given the radius of the Earth is so large that our range of vision only allows us to perceive it as plane, the horizon "behaves' the same on either...

That is how we all see the world. But the horizon is not rising. Even on a flat disc you must look slightly down to see the horizon.

Dave, if the Earth is a flat disk, how could it possibly rise to our eye level?

While this seems intuitively obvious, it is wrong. Gravity "pulls" on everything equally. When dropped in an atmosphere, drag plays a huge part in determining how fast something falls. Watch this short video, less than 5 minutes. This is why engineers spend a lot of time designing those...

Beven if the sun is modeled as a spot light over a disk it still be visible from all points on the disk at all times. Given the diameter of the dusk you use and the elevation of the sun, there is not enough distance available for perspective to reduce the sun to the vanishing point. And then...

That is what he is attempting to assert but it is not the case. It looks like he used the table he was referencing incorrectly. In any case, his explanation is exactly backwards. On a flat Earth you could see the sun and the moon at the same time regardless. On a globe earth it is not...

The short answer is that he totally mucked up his times! You would not see the moon over the USA and Australia at the same time, they are on opposites sides of the globe. On the other hand, if it is a flat plane then you would necessarily see the moon from Australia and America at the same time.

That means your video is wrong.

Did you notice that in his example he uses two separate surfaces. Is it your contention that the flat earth is actually a flat earth and a flat plane above the earth that serves to give the appearance of the sun falling below a horizon? I thought it was your claim that the sun is above the...

I do peruse your posts. And I watch your short videos. I do not have the time to watch your hour plus vids. But the question is simple. People standing at the north pole see the North Star directly overhead. People at the equator see the north pole on the horizon. People south of the...

I have time. Show me!

THe law of perspective says the sun would fade to a point. Why does it become a half circle instead?

These are actually the effect of a curved earth, not perspective. According to perspective, you would ALWAYS see the feet of a skater.

Did you pay ant attention to why he changed from the flat map to the globe map? Did you notice from the other video that the main reason most flights stop in America is because it makes them commercially viable?

patrick jane, did you watch the video in post #4147? @dft Dave, have you watched the video yet? I'm curious how you address the points presented in the video. Keep in mind that silence on your part is an admission that you can't refute it and leaves you with nothing to defend your position.

Commercial considerations in operating a for profit airline. Watch the video in the post #4147

Here is 22 minutes looking at gravity, density and buoyancy: Very interesting. .
