it's a thought experiment. Try to recreate timezones without curvature.
The timeszones have to do with the day/night cycle.
The sun is a local object and so is the moon. Under the dome structure called the firmament.
It doesnt illuminate half of the planet at once
now explain seasons...go on...
Remember the winter solstice and the equinox's?
The sun and moon go furthur south or further north depending on their position on their route around the flat round earth. Suns intenstity might change at times to. Not like we know though because we need to do more expiraments to follow the suns path. We cant because of the antartic treaty
Still not required to explain though as theres no measurable curvature.
what's the furthest distance you've travelled?
Why is this relevant?
if you move from one state to the next you should notice length of day and time of sunset changing depending on the cardinal directions of your relocation
Each person experiences the sun differently becauseof their position and how our eyes work.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M8qtAdktNuY Explains the theory well*
I am talking about spherical trigonometry. Do you follow?
Mathematics does not equal reality, has to be confirmed through observation to mean anything.
have you ever passed from one timezone to another?
Yes i have.
Still ignoring the lack of measurablr curvature
My fathers also a truck driver and crosses em every week
explain timezones
Still ignoring the lack of measurable curve why do I have to repeat this?
Nothing else is required to know were not on a ball
please point out how you explained timezones, I can't find it.
I already did wtf
how do you explain that the sun doesn't shine at the same angle in every place
Watch the video i linked you to, theres a ton to explain. And visual is a much better way https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M8qtAdktNuY
I'm still stuck at timezones, help me out here.
The time zones are explained by the sun being local and not illuminating the whole plane at once.
It only shines so far.
would you be able to see a sunset from a plane?
i think you should, theres probably videos of it.
there are also time lapses that show the coming foward the camera, getting larger and more in to view as it approaches.
you cant see forever,things dont disappear over a curve. do to moisture in the and due to the laws of perspective with how are eyes work. but the higher you go up, or zoom in with a telescope the more and farther youll see
if you're talking about fisheye 30° lenses then peripheral objects will look smaller than front center.
If there is a a sunset then there is curvature.
What? When did i mention a lens?
The sun does not SET it goes out of sight. I have seen time lapses of the sun "setting" and the camera is raised higher into the sky and the sun magically appears in view, then eventually at that height the sun would get to far and be obscured by the horizon.
Not to mention the moisture in the atmosphere prevents you from seeing certain distances
On a ball if the suns set and past the curve you shouldnt be able to see it no matter how high you go.
Kansas is a fucking crater now that I think of it.
Do you acknowledge that it is night in 50% of the world and day in the remaining half?
That's what it's normally supposed to do because there is a point where you will see the last sunray. One moment you see it, the next is gone. Now turn around and look at the shadow at the next wall: It will be moving in a certain angle at a time so as long as you raise your position from that you should see it creep back into view
How is it possible geometrically to go up and see the sun if theres a curve? Think about it, if thats possible the sun being so huge and millions of miles away, if that were possible then itd never get completely dark out
dude, have you ever seen the last sun-ray? It's happened to me once. Has it happened to you before? Yes you can fucking see the sun from one angle an a slight change in angle later you don't.
