There is a link that gives a visual explanation of the path of the sun through the year. Just like on the globe model it travels between the tropics of cancer and Capricorn through the year, only on FE the sun is small and near, and it travels in expanding and contracting circles throughout the year. Side note, the book of Enoch seems to uncannily describe the path of the sun in FE terms. Not all FE people believe their is a domed firmament above us, but I do because it further explains the distribution of daylight across earth.
Also note that daylight and sunlight are two different things. I may see daylight even if the sun is beyond my horizon. The sun seems to have an EMF output that floresces the sky, and affects the light/phases of the moon (the moon is its own light, not a reflector).
We can't see the sun for an unlimited distance across flat earth for 2 main reasons. First, you can't even see across the street if it's foggy enough. Our air is not completely transparent and you may see far but you cannot see forever. 2nd is perspective, as objects go away from us they eventually vanish into a horizon at our eye level, even if we should have line of sight with the object. If a plane flies over your head at a constant 30k feet altitude, it will appear to decend into the horizon even though it is maintaing altitude.
PS, do you think that picture of earth is real?
Thank you for the thing i learned today...well....the thing i learned that i wanted to know, that is.
What exactly does that explain about lengthening days??
I'll use the term hemisphere for simplicity even though I don't believe we are on a sphere. The northern hemisphere being the part inner part of our plane surrounding the north pole, and the southern hemisphere being the outer part of our plane beyond the equator. During the northern hemisphere summer the sun is circling between the equator and the tropic of cancer. This lengthens our days in the northern hemisphere as the sun casts its light on this part of the plane for more hours of the day. As the sun moves between the equator and the tropic of Capricorn, the southern hemisphere will experience more sun/day light and the northern days will shorten.
Honestly you probably won't be able to take a look at any of this unless you first come to find that almost everything organizations like nasa tell us about space is fake. I first found out the moonlandings were complete hoaxes from a Hollywood studio. Then I found the ISS was completely fake. Then I found all satellites and images/video of space was fake including our blue spherical earth. And at that point I realized what we are told about cosmology is all lies. I would investigate these things first before flat earth if I were you, because you can't skip steps when going up the staircase of disbelief, it's just too much of a leap.
Oh you didn't mean seasonal lengthening of days, my bad. You meant days lengthening to 20 hours, 22 hours, 24 hours etc... throughout earth's history.
Well I suppose it's useless asking a flat earther because we don't believe anything mainstream science says about the age or creation of the universe, or the big bang religion. For instance they say our stars shift slowly throughout eons. Yet the Georgia guidestones which were just destroyed had a hole that constantly pointed at Polaris for 50 years. I don't believe this is possible considering the speed/distance we are hurting around the sun, and the sun is hurtling around the milky way, and the milky way is hurtling through the universe. I get they are far away, but this is still ridiculous. Why do you think the ancients depicted constellations exactly the same for thousands of years? I think the length of days changing is most likely another lie.
Well it may be a physical lie...but they certainly do change the clocks to account for it. It messes up electronics when they do it and requires intervention in some cases.
The effects are very real I can say that much. They 'act' like the time changes and they definitely make the adjustment
It could be because the heliocentric accounting of time only approximates the true flat earth accounting of time that we experience in reality. Therefore it needs constant correction. But how can we possibly be sure of what corrections they make and how often? Digital clocks can all be updated via internet automatically, and even the most accurate analog clocks are not perfect.
One of the things I find most fascinating about flat earth is that if true, then our creator set the sun, moon and stars to rotate around our plane at different rates like a big celestial clock. It does not appear to be the messy explosion the big bang suggests.
What do you think of the moon landings?
These fuck wits live in a circle jerk of idiocy.
It's infuriating. It's circle jerks and the same handful of videos passed around....I am certain it's either a few ardent believers or....just the shills themselves who made the videos.....dubay I could see having his team just sit peddlingshit
Flat earthers are the essence of contradiction. They all claim that we've been "indoctrinated" by NASA yet they can't admit that they are equally indoctrinated by Youtube hacks who make videos that claim something is a 'fact'.
The irony comes from them telling us that the tens of thousands of explorers, scientists and physicists are all wrong, yet some jerk-off in his basement making a flat earth video is somehow believable.
Even if they go to the beach and watch a ship disappear over the horizon they will claim "perspective" yet, they can't understand how perspective actually works.
Eventually, they will send you a video of a guy who made a $100,000 challenge to prove the earth is round, yet hundreds of people claimed the money, but he just ignored them and never paid.
FE'ers are total losers.
If the earth was flat I could see China in Canada from a telescope, you absolute flaming retard.
If that's true then how come you can't see across the street sometimes when it's foggy? The atmosphere is not completely transparent even I'm the most ideal conditions, so we can't see through it indefinitely. This is so obvious I can't believe you got done typing that comment without thinking twice. Good job retard
So I can take a telescope and look alllllll the way through the atmosphere on a clear night and see the surface of the moon which is 238000 miles away. But that same telescope can't see China. Because the earth isn't flat you fucking idiot.
It is flat. Seems you are the fucking idiot if you don’t know about the law of perspective or the vanishing point.
Another obvious answer to another retarded statement. Objects in the sky, particularly the more directly overhead they are, have less atmosphere to be viewed through, and the density of air decreases with altitude. This is why the sun and moon are brightest when directly overhead, and lessen the closer they get to the horizon because they have far more atmosphere to penetrate. Humans already can't breath at 30,000 feet cause the air is so thin, and you are talking about the moon being 238k miles away as if that distance proves your point. The lower your altitude and the lower to the horizon you look, the more atmospheric density you have to obscure your vision. Globe earth and flat earth both claim this phenomenon to be true.
I can't believe you got done typing that comment without thinking twice.
