Please provide evidence that this.  Thanks.

What kind of evidence will you accept?

Flat Earth Debate / Speed of sunset (or sunrise)

At the equator sunset (or sunrise) is quite fast. When I go north or south from the equator, sunset is slower. The further I go the slower it gets. On the round Earth this is easily explained. How is it explained on the flat Earth?

Flat Earth Debate / Re: The Moon gives flat Earthers a major problem to solve

Why would the moon not appear upside down?  From the northern hemiplane, you have to face south to view it, but from the southern hemiplane, you face north to view it.  Of course it would be upside down.  Please, think people.

You don't get it.   It's not the moon that's upside down it's the observer.   That can't happen on a flat earth.   Game over.

Print out a picture of the moon and tape it to your ceiling.  Stand against the wall and observe it.  Now, go to the opposite wall an observe it again.  Holy crud!  It flipped upside down!  Your room must be spherical!!! 

Well, it'll be upside down, yes. Walk away a little further. Does it still seem round like real moon?

Flat Earth Q&A / Angle to the sun

« on: December 29, 2014, 04:39:57 AM »

I’m from Finland. That’s pretty north, right? We know that somewhere in the world sun occasionally shines directly from above. Here in Finland it never does (we are way too north). In Johannesburg, South Africa it does. People in Johannesburg will see the sun directly above them, but people south from there won’t because sun doesn’t go that far south.
Distance between Helsinki, Finland and Johannesburg, South Africa is roughly 6000 miles. You guys say that the sun is 3000 miles above earth. Well, now we can calculate the angle to the sun: tanA = 3000/6000. That makes A (the angle) about 26 degrees. So (according to you guys) if I’m watching the sun from Helsinki, it never goes lower than 26 degrees above the horizon. Still I see it every day go below the horizon and next morning it rises back.
How can you explain that? I know you say it’s the perspective, but come on. Object 26 degrees above the horizon can’t just vanish behind the horizon.
