Cyclone   10 #1465 Posted March 21, 2018 I wonder how flat earthers explain getting Sky TV. The satellite dish, pointing off into the sky with a parabolic dish, so there must be something up there transmitting to it. Do they think that SkyB have a fleet of planes or something to transmit signals? Or magic satellites that aren't in orbit, but also don't fall down?

Phanerothyme   12 #1467 Posted March 22, 2018 It'll be the same colour. It doesnt matter how far you observe it from if it subtends the same angle in the sky.  Ah I see what you mean now - but I'm still not so sure, because the earths disc subtends a much larger angle if you're stood on the surface of this mini-sun - that is, the earth's disc is the recipient of greater proportion of its output than the earth's sphere is a recipient of the radiation output of Sol.

barleycorn   10 #1468 Posted March 22, 2018 The sun does not drop on a flat earth / disc. It circles daily the disc. It illuminates half the earth at a time.The perimeter is an ice shelf which contains the oceans.  The sun is not 93 million miles away.  Flat earthers believe it is only 3000 miles away at its closest ( when it's directly above you) The angle of the rays of the sun seem to support this.  As the sun moves away from us it appears to drop,much in the same way street lights appear to drop the further away they are. It's just perspective and can be be easily demonstrated.  Eric Dubay.com is the best website if you are seeking more knowledge.  What causes the sun to move? What is the sun made of?

barleycorn   10 #1470 Posted March 22, 2018 clockwork? Imagine, sundials telling the time by the motion of the sun which is powered by clockwork... the mind boggles  Cheese like the moon? Yeah, but what cheese? This is important stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

MAC33 Â Â 10 #1472 Posted March 22, 2018 A good example of two self evident truths that can be easily demonstrated - water cannot conform to the exterior of a ball. Â And the horizon is always flat. Â Yet we are supposed to believe we can see boats and ships dropping over the claimed curvature. Â Spinning Ball earthers have the word of NASA as 'evidence'.
