I watched that video months ago, I've known about that guy for a while.

I think you didn't even read my last comment, I was trying to simplify things since you had a problem with these pictures.

Ya that could throw of the y-axis (north/south) of the shadow, but the x-axis (east/west) would be unaffected.

Anyway, forget the sundial thing. Just focus on local aparent noon, that is when the sun is highest in the sky at your given longitude on earth. If the globe earth is on a 23.4° tilt, then the spring and fall equinox would cast shadows at noon in radically different directions. The winter and summer solstice would both cast shadows directly north (or south depending on latitude), though the length of the shadow would be different. Just play around with a globe and a light source and think about that, the geometry seem very clear to me.

I've watched that series, very entertaining heavy stuff!

When you see crepuscular rays coming down, as linked below, does the light look parallel to you? Or does it look like we have a small local sun, which you can trace the rays back to their source?

I understand the procession of the equinox, that is not what I was talking about, although both models agree it occures. The analemma explains why an unadjusted sundial will drift between 15 minutes early to 15 minutes late throughout the year. This angle is very small though, about 3.75° of error maximum.

My claim was the globe model would cast shadows in radically different directions between spring and fall (resulting in many hours of error). The local sundial I use is never more than 15 minutes off, which can be explained by the an analemma.

The highlight on the globe is due to the position of the observer. If the observer lowered to the same position as the light, the highlight would be centered. Draw a picture of the camera, globe, and flashlight (with the camera being over the flashlight).

Have you ever used a sundial? The position is not changed once you set it up. If you live in an area with daylight savings time, you have to account for that or else the sundial will appear an hour off. If you live in an area with no time changes through the year, your sundial will be accurate to within 15 minutes all year long.

Let's do some math. There are 360° in a circle or clock face. There are 24 hours per day. This is 15° to represent one hour. If the shadow cast is 15 min early, or 15 min late at max, this would be 3.75° of error. Like I said that is a very small angle. It would not be a 7.5° (30 min) error because you are measuring the angle between true time and the shadow cast, which does not exceed 15 min.

The light does appear to be centered. You can tell because the marker is oriented directly towards the camera on both pics. The reason the highlight is off the line you drew is because the camera (observer) is higher than the light (sun). The highlight would only be spot on if the light and the camera were in the exact same angle. The geometry isn't hard to comprehend. You really think you can correct that big of an angle difference with the shadow?

I told someone this in another post: I have a public sundial that I look at down the street. All year long the thing is accurate to within 15 minutes or less. No one ever adjusts it because it's set in concrete. I would have to measure how many degrees off it is at maximum, but I would guess 1 or 2 degrees (angle of the shadow). I want to test out that globe simulation so I could get a rough estimate of how far off the shadow is between spring and fall, but if those pics are at all accurate, 45+ degrees off would equate to HOURS of error. It's not even close.

Unless the sun speeds up as it moves to the outer circle, and slows as it moves to the inner circle. But it does not speed and slow perfectly which is why an analemma (figure eight) is formed. On the globe model spring and fall would cast noon shadows in radically different directions. The annalema is insignificant variation which is why sun dials are normally just left in place once they are set up.

Analemma's disprove your claim. You can capture an annalema by taking a picture of the sun at one location, every 24 hours, for a whole year. The sun will produce a figure 8 pattern. This will cause the shadow on a sun dial to vary a miniscule amount through the seasons. This is not enough to throw off a sun dial for practical purposes. Ideally you would align the dial to somewhere in the middle of the annalemma.

In the globe demonstration above it looks like spring and fall would have the shadow cast at about a 45+ degree angle difference. Sun dials don't have to be adjusted once you set them up. Some ancient sundials haven't moved in thousands of years.

Ya have you seen a red spherical rock roughly the size and distance that Nasa claims? What details do you see?

Do you believe mars is what mainstream science claims it to be? Basically a red rocky sphere, 4th in orbit from the sun, with very little atmosphere. If so, can you show me some evidence that is true?

Cause I can't say what Mars is for sure, other than a local small luminary in our sky the makes a circuit independent of other stars.

I just want my own child to not be government certified like they are a fricken car or something.

For sure, I was just hoping there was some alternative. I've met people in the backwoods of Alaska that have nor birth cert or SSN, but they were mostly indigenous that could sponge off of government funding, or people who had family businesses and wealth that could be passed to the next generation, and they simply lived as off the grid as possible.

I know they get by, but I'm curious if there is a way that you could still get professional jobs and education. Let's not get into how stupid college education is these days, but you do need the credentials for certain professions unfortunately.

I wonder if the anarchy symbol used in punk rock was intended to corrupt the meaning of this symbol?

Orbit in a vacuum is all fake, best they can do is satelloons, and high altitude drones/planes. If the earth is spinning and orbiting its motion should be measurable in a variety of ways on earth. The spin alone at the equator is about 1/1000th of a G centrifugal force. And our obit around the sun is elliptical meaning we accelerate half the year and decelerate half the year, plus we are constantly changing direction. Also airplane gyroscopes prove they are flying over a plane rather than a spinning sphere; otherwise when you flew from USA to Australia the gyro would indicate you are almost upside-down.

They had to get rid of the aether because it would prove the earth is stationary and geocentric. Think about how retarded the idea of photons are. I'm supposed to believe light consists of particles that blast me at the speed of light and I somehow don't die? Since light can propagate through a vacuum (laboratory tests) with little to no matter to conduct it, the aether must be the medium that allows light to travel. Otherwise you would be staring at blackness anytime a vacuum was created.

Also think about the Michelson Morley Experiment. They measured the speed of light in several directions simultaneously to perceive the motion of the earth (since light has a speed cap). Unfortunately the test showed there was no perceivable speed difference in any direction so the earth must be stationary. Then Einstein came up with the genius solution of removing the aether, and incorporating relativity. He thinks space/time was distorted so the instruments could not perceive earth's true motion, rather than admitting it is stationary.

Honestly after watching 'terrain' I'm not even sure viruses exist, at least as the common understanding. I'll give that a read for sure.
