I've witnessed many sunsets (and sunrises) and none of them looked like this, meaning one of two things:

  • This is doctored footage.
  • Distorted view due to some sort of natural phenomenon. Perhaps the heated desert air causes some sort of mirage effect?

For one, if the earth was flat and the sun did 'get smaller' as it 'circles above the earth disc' it would never EVER disappear below the horizon, it would vanish into a point in the sky (actually it wouldn't disappear at all, unless it were some kind of massive spotlight instead of an orb, a theory this very video would disprove. Lose lose for flat earth. ) That's basic perspective and requires no math or physics. Unless of course you want to argue the fucker is landed at night and turned off (or shielded with the world's largest, invisible lampshade), at which point I could only urge you to seek immediate mental help.

You will never see one of these presented from a flat earther using a solar filter.

Here is some footage of the sun getting smaller as it gets further and further away from Phuket Word.

It 'drops below the horizon' as that is how perspective works. If you get up higher, you can watch it longer, until it vanishes.

That is not how perspective works in the flat earth model. It will get very close to the horizon (if the earth is considered many times its actual size, or the sun many times smaller) but it will never cross it.

Obviously that's how it works in the 'roughly spherical' model, but unless the sun literally goes over the side of 'the disc' it CANNOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE go below the horizon.

And that is why you do not get to tell what the flat earth model is.

Not only do the horizontal lines actually show the earth curving in the background, it actively shows the sun going down over the horizon and only then does it inexplicably start shrinking after. Nothing in this video disproves anything I've said. In fact, it mostly supports it. And even still it's all total bunk.

In a model where the Sun circles above a disc, it cannot physically draw a straight line in the sky, and it also cannot dip over the horizon. No amount of word salad and empty statements change that.

Nice call to authority from someone who hasn't even witnessed a sunset in their life, though. (Because if you had, you wouldn't ever have posted this bullshit.)

I am aware you like to make false assumptions, you do not need to spell it out.

I doubt you're even aware what the pavement outside your house looks like.

Flat earthers are leftists/plants purposed with making the conspiracy community look like complete fucking morons.

Honestly bro, if you believe NASA at this stage in the game, you don’t look like a moron, you are a fucking moron.

This "footage" is 100% fabricated. Nobody mentioned NASA. Strawmanners get the rope.

It’s not fabricated, it’s shot pointing west in a country on the equator like Morroco, Saudi Arabia, India, Mexico.

The earth looks like this and the sun does circles around us, its not millions of miles away. It even shows you the time in each country based on where the sun is in it’s circle. https://lucidmanager.org/images/geography/gleasons-map.jpg

I went over this. If it circled over a disc, it wouldn't be able to disappear over the horizon and would instead curve out of view near the bottom right/left.

No because the horizon remains level no matter how high you are. So when you are on the ground, the sun just travels away until it dips below objects above your horizon. If you were to elevate a couple thousand feet after sunset, the sun would return into your view. You do not notice it curve, even in summer in Northern Canada because the curve is massive, only a few degrees across the entire country.

I truck on the ice roads you see on tv. When I am very far north, like lat 60, you can see the glow of the sun after sunset circle to the north (over Russia, China) and rise in the east. Look into time zone changes between Alaska and Russia, it is hilarious.

It looks that way because the earth isn't flat. On a flat earth, again, the sun would never disappear over the horizon. Ever. That is literally impossible. If you roll a marble down an infinitely long flat plane, the marble never dips below the plank. That would make it a ghost marble. Similarly, an object circling above a plane can never drop below it. (Obviously it could disappear behind a feature like a mountain, but never the ocean.) Even visually. It would simply shrink in a spot (very close, but still) above the horizon.
