Titled: Flat Earth | Globe Earth Mathematically Debunked
i got reinstated. I just want to point out. You said those angles were not possible on a flat surface. That experiment proves that's not true. Can i get you to say we agree on that?
➽ You said those angles were not possible on a flat surface.
I just did searches of the discussion for the words "flat" and then "angle".
I did NOT make that claim as you have just presented it. Please quote the words (a partial phrase is best) I used that you are using to make that claim. I will then do another search of the discussion to validate / invalidate the claim.
➽ That experiment proves that's not true. Can i get you to say we agree on that?
I did not say what you claim I said.
What I will say: Under the VERY specific set up with an actual physical "lens", the math works both ways.
I do not, and will not agree with the assumptions made about air lenses.
The time I spent watching Flat Earth | Globe Earth Mathematically Debunked was not a total waste of my time. It shows me one avenue where errant thinking and belief got inside your brain case. (Skull).
Sept 30 14:08 CDT you wrote:
➽ To presume a distant sun you have to presume the atmosphere is acting like a convex lens insted of a concave one also. But what I'm saying is neither one proves anything. But one of them requires two presumptions.
In that same post you also wrote:
➽ The calculations for trigonometric phericty work on a flat plane with a local light source.
You have just made three presumptions yourself. A local light source (a local sun) and an assumption of a very specific atmospheric lens shape. The shape used in the vid. And a very specific location of the lens.
What you and the vid creator have failed to do is identify the causal mechanism to make the air into the very specific lens shape required for the flat earth math to mimic how well the same math works on a globe earth.
Other science, physics, and math supports the creation of atmospheric lenses that are NOT the shape the vid claims and does not do what the vid claims.
And while I am thinking of the incorrect information presented, the sun's rays are NOT parallel. The angle of divergence is 0.00000419305702675240799500646°.
