No, it's saying that whether it changes or not, the time it takes to travel one arc diameter remains the same. In effect, it implies that the Sun slows its apparaent speed with a reduction of it's apparent size. That's why I asked him what I did. The fact that the Sun's apparent size does remain...

No, I don't think that's what he's arguing. See my previous post.

Okay, so let me make sure I understand this argument. You're saying that, for a particular observer (i.e. location), the length of time that it takes the sun to move an apparent distance across the sky that is equal to it's apparent size is the same no matter where the sun is in the sky. That...

I don't know about any of the flat earthers but you've piqued my interest. What's your argument?

So just what is it that I've said in regards to the FET (Flat Earth Theory) that you think is an opinion? I mean, the whole argument is based on two observations of the angle of the Sun above the horizon and then some highschool level math, the results of which falsify the FET. What is there...

Don't worry about it at all. I didn't even notice! :chuckle: By the way, if you're writing a quick note like that to someone where using the quote tag doesn't really make sense, if you put a hash tag in front of the user's name, they'll get a notification that someone mentioned them in a...

What's not his cup of tea is not being treated "nicely". He's using it as an excuse to not have to deal with the fact that his pet conspiracy theory was blown apart inside of a day of him posting on this thread. He figured it would be a lot harder for people to knock him off the high horse that...

Wrong! Tantamount to a lie, really. I've specifically asked you where the "hole" is in my math - NO ANSWER! Further, I've given several extremely thorough and completely rational argument - none of which are base on a single syllable of opinion and you, like EVERY OTHER FLAT EARTHER haven't...

Flat earthers do not deny the existence of satellites, they deny the fact that they orbit the earth. They're balloons or some other sort of air craft. It's stupid, I know but that's what they say. As for having to discuss it, its because we have entered a post-truth era where any truth can be...

Liar. Your posts are all still here for everyone to read, idiot. Every airplane along with everything else on Earth is being pulled by gravity toward the center of Earth's mass. Given the miniscule size of a plane relative to the Earth, that is going to be stright down. Any variation is going...

#Bladerunner Your having brought this back up has got me to thinking again about triangles and I've thought of yet another proof that the Earth cannot possibly be flat based on three known data points. 1. The Sun was 10° off the horizon at Knight's house near Denver while at the same time...

Forgive me if I'm not able to speak far enough down to your level. Easy enough to say, harder to demonstrate. So where's the hole, Einstein? Which data point did I get wrong? Go ahead, tell us! What's with all the mystery? We know that the Sun was 10° above the horizon at Knight's house and...

Names like "hypocrite", you mean? :rolleyes:

:up: No, but it is stupid to accuse someone of being a hypocrite when they specifically explained why they said what they said. I don't actually care what color you use and using color for emphasis or to distinguish one thing from another is entirely a different thing than having your entire...

Okay, first of all if you don't use the [ quote] tags, i'm not at all likely to know that you've responded to my post. I don't read every post in the thread. I know you're new so its no big deal. I'm just saying that you'll make people's lives easier if you use the [ quote] tags (without the...

Bladerunner, Sorry if I came off a bit rude in my last post. This flat earth stuff just strikes me as completely ridiculous but I have to admit that it is interesting to find all the correct answers to the questions and problems that flat-earthers bring up so I'll try to keep a lid on the...

It took about 20 seconds to find out why the probe won't melt (because I don't think I'm smarter than NASA or that there is meansinless and mindless and impossible conspiracies going on all around me so I bothered to look)... The Science Behind Why It (The Parker Solar Probe) Won’t Melt One...

Okay, I'll watch it.

I haven't. You?

This made me laugh! Great way to start the day!
