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.

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.
