When the sun or the moon move away from an observer on the stationary earth, eventually, the horizontal distance is so great that the angle to the observer tends to 0 and the sun/moon will converge to the horizon.When the sun is at 1° above the horizon, a simple trig operation, given that the sun is at 3000 miles altitude, will return that it must be at nearly 172,000 miles distance from the observer (projected down to the horizontal plane). Won't work in the FE model. Here is a list with degrees and distances in miles:
Whether day or night you should avoid looking directly at the moon. This is probably the most important practical thing to be learned from FET. The lambent rays of the moon are NOT reflections from the sun but generated directly and are much more dangerous to your body than direct sunlight.That's an extraordinary claim, you will have to prove it
Another proof of the earth's rotation is eastward angular deviation from free fall. If you were to drop a boulder down the centre of a long enough mine shaft, as the earth rotates, the boulder would move slowly towards the east wall due to the earth's rotation.
Due to the coriolis effect, I believe it should stray towards the westward wall. I'll do some research.
You are right. I got it backwards LOL.
It's known that the only thing the US invented is sustained flight...
Irrelevant.Hold it right there... is creationism the belief of this community?
I did not realize that what a single person says suddenly becomes the entire site's opinion. The world must be terribly black and white to you.
To hide the fact that God created it, they want you to believe an explosion created it.
To make the U.S. look technologically superior.
Can there be a 2.25 degree bend in space and time? Your approach is not Zetetic. You already have an answer in mind before you investigate. This is the most common fault with scientific method. You are looking for something, you find something and you equate it to be what your looking for. A Zetetic approach ensures you only draw conclusions from direct observation.

It does effect the water in your tub/toilet!In contrast to the above, water rotation in home bathrooms under normal circumstances is not related to the Coriolis effect or to the rotation of the earth, and no consistent difference in rotation direction between toilets in the northern and southern hemispheres can be observed.
You missed the part below where it essentially says if the water's sitting still for long enough, that it would have an effect, however small, on the rotation of the descending water.
Perhaps you missed where it said that the effect can only be observed in carefully controlled laboratory conditions. That would distinctly rule out "the water in your tub/toilet".
Yet if it were a tub/toilet in a carefully controlled laboratory condition (which I could easily set up in my basement), then it could be done. The objects were not excluded, just the conditions that they're normally under. I could also set these conditions in my own bathroom if I so desired.
Who said that?And what does that have to do with the picture which clearly shows the stars diverging from eachother at the equator?
Wind is caused by the pressure differences. Air moves from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure. The main cause behind these pressure differences is the sun passing over various areas of the earth. The atmosphere of a heated area is at a higher pressure than an unheated area, and hence wind will result from air moving from one environment to the other in attempt to equalize the pressure differences.
Use your imagination.The rhetoric for Round Earthers for thousands of years. The prosecution rests, Your Honour.

Ok. We imagine 2 adjacent circles, called celestial gears, floating 3100 miles above the earth, dotted with stars. We didn't figure out what is outside those 2 cogs
Nothing in particular.
Internet calculators don't show that the sunrise times match. They are calculators, not observers. No one went out to every point on earth to verify that the predictions throughout the year.
The atmosphere is not perfectly transparent.
2) If someone asks about say, sunrise times, right now I have absolutely no motivation to answer it. Partly because the answer is already there and the people asking should know how to use the search function by now. However I would make the effort to do the subject again if it wasn't there already, discussed in every manner possible.
Hi everyone Im just as insane as all of you who believe this crap. i actually believe the earth is a octagon, and everything moves around humans as they stand still and walking is just our brains tricking us.
I think I'm getting assimilated!
I challenge that. It is not possible to see 1000+ km away through the atmosphere.
high altitude photos shows us what appears to be a circle. isnt that where the idea came from in the first place? it would be nice to see a better picture of the 'spotlight' than whats available in the faq.
what makes people think it would be a different shape? given i had a very hard time drawing a circle and still lighting up the lit portion of the earth. i think it was feb 3 or 4th this year? the sun wasnt even above the earth anymore. no wonder the weather was so cold.
