So if I am to believe your theory I need to reject the evidence of my own eyes? Flat Earth 1984.
Your book report not withstanding, the sun still sets and rises.
That is what you have been told and makes sense when you don't know any other possibilities
It's literally what I observe with my own eyes. And I questioned it, and tested both theories, but only one holds water. If I can falsify a theory based on my own observation and common sense I do.
What you are seeing is the sun travel far away and disappear looking like it is going over the curve but its just travelling away until you cant see it. Like looking at train tracks and they eventually look like they come together.
That doesn't look like what I'm seeing at all. I see the sun set.
No, that's only for the heliocentric model. Funny you bring up 1984 though. When Winston is being tortured, the member of the party describes how their mathematicians can make the stars far away or very near depending on what they need at any given time. I'm on mobile atm but I'll post the passage for you.
Once you look into the history of geocentrism vs heliocentrism you realize the only "proof" heliocentrists have is NASA and "space flights", which are obviously faked.
