Title: Telephones and the flat earth
Post by: LiamFly on August 29, 2006, 12:24:47 PM

Telephones can be used to either proove that the earth is round, or, proove that the government conspiracy to cover-up the flat earth condition is truly enormous.

When I call some one who is a few time zones to the east, and I ask them how light it is outside, they will tell me that it is darker out, and later in the day. When I call a continent on the other side of the world, they will tell me it is the middle of the night.

This can only be explained by:

The earth is round and rotates.

or

The government on earth brainwashes the entire phone-owning population of the earth to percieve different levels of light around them throughout the day and there is actually no difference between night and day, it's all in our heads.

If the second one is true, which this site believes it is, shouldn't the owners of this page remove time-zone compatibility from the site since it's actually a big lie?

I hate to sound like FE'ers here but you should maybe read the FAQ. It claims that the sun creates a spotlight which accounts for time zones.

Just seeing what else people can come up with.

And wouldn't the sun fall on us? What suspends it there?

So what shape is the sun? If it was a sphere, there would be no spotlight effect.

No, it's not. Clouds stay in the sky the same way in FE and RE. However, FEers give no mechanism of any kind to explain the sun's movement over the Earth.
