The thing that bothers me is that, shouldn't there be more (I mean a lot more) places in the US where this phenomenon occurs (if we follow the FA model illustrated here (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=11211.0))?The "sub-solar" point has to somewhere between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer.
this is something i have been trying to find an answer for from FE people and still havent. the Sub solar point makes any flat earth model impossible (especially their seasons explanation)
Sub solar points are simply the position on earth (which appears to be) directly under the sun. Wihout making me watch a video of unknown length or origin, can you tell me what exactly I'm supposed to be shocking to me regarding the movement of the sun? Analemas have been documented by civilizations reaching well back before the time of Pythagorean globularism.Just look at FE FAQ and models. Sun circles directly above earth and there should be sub solar points everywhere on its trajectory. Almost entire Africa, Australia, South America is covered when sun moves from winter trajectory to summer trajectory. Also half Asia continent and North America.
You're aware of elementary visual aids used to demonstrate a concept as opposed to being rigourous models, are you not?I just clarified what is the issue with sub-solar point in FE models which you have in FAQ and everywhere on internet. And elementary visual aids usually demonstrate things quite good enough that you get the point. FE model as elementary visual aid conveys quite clearly the idea that the Sun circles above the Earth and there shuld be sub-solar points everywhere. But there is not. So the elementary visual aid has some problems which should be corrected.
Why would there be subsolar points "everywhere"? They're documented locations. Why don't you plot them all and explain to me what your issue is.

Why don't you plot them all and explain to me what your issue is.Yes, they are at documented locations but your visual aid on FE FAQ and all other similar FE models suggest quite clearly that there must be more. Or can we say that your visual aid does not actually represent the way the Sun moves above the flat earth? How does it move then?

This is precisely what I meant earlier about reflexive defense of the Orthodoxy and the blind, mindless attacks on dissent, rabinoz. They are blinded by religious fervor.Touché, but I do believe that we see exactly the same thing from many Flat Earthers and they are often blinded by literal religious fervor.

Why would there be more? ??? Perhaps you're misapplying a visual aid.Maybe. Guide me then how do I can apply visual aid differently. If I put some light source directly over flat earth map or watch some models like then the Sun is always directly over some spot.
Come up with that all by yourself, did you?Why would there be more? ??? Perhaps you're misapplying a visual aid.If I put some light source directly over flat earth map .. then the Sun is always directly over some spot.
Sure, orthodoxy. But brandy doesn't remove it and lamp still stays directly over some spot. Maybe my 3D imagination is bad but maybe someone can explain what I miss here.Come up with that all by yourself, did you?Why would there be more? ???

:-\
Fear not, Orthodoxy. Your grip over the mindless is complete and unquestioned.
