I did some simple math to begin to clarify the issues for myself. So here are a couple of my assumptions:
1- The closest an observer at sea level can get to the sun is 3000 miles. (Summer, at noon, at the equator, on the equinox, with the sun directly overhead at 90deg to the plane of the earth you are standing on)
2- The furthest away you can get from the sun on the same day at the same conditions is to be at the "Ice wall" on the other side of the disc at night (and please do not post about guards or penguins) and that is about 18914 miles (the tangent of a right triangle where the leg from the sun to the ground is 3000 miles and the leg on the ground is 18675 miles or roughly 3/4 the diameter of the FE).
Ok if you are still with me after these simple assumptions please consider the following: At condition 1 the sun is directly overhead and no one supporting the FE theory should disagree that you will be able to see the sun. At condition 2 the sun is still 13.5deg off the horizon. Due to its dia of 32 miles it occupies just under 1/8 of a degree (.09) in the sky. That means that there is still plenty more than 13 degrees of clear sky below the sun and the horizon.
Some simple conclusions that I come to from this: Even with pollution, Weather events, and intervening geography, ?bendy light? (or whatever else it is being called at the moment) or any other electromagnetic/gravitational effects, it seems the best case for any darkness on any part of the surface of the FE is a shadow situation and not the absence of direct sun light. The concept of a vanishing point only exists in the reproduction of a 3D world on a 2D surface, and is only constrained to the ability of the media to produce resolution small enough to show tiny objects at a great distance. These are tricks of the eye and mind in reproduction of images and we tend not to question any lack of visual information in those situations. These conclusions also lead me to conclude that we would never see the moon or be aware of its presence.
Question 1 - So how is it that at 13+ degrees off the horizon at all times of day and year will there ever be night time in the FE model?
Question 2 a? If light from the sun does only hit the ground directly under it out to a specific sphere, how does it also illuminate the moon? 2b - Then how does that light ever get back to the ground for the observer?
Question 3 - What makes our FE special to the point that Rays from the Sun are directed towards us and not at another angle that we do not benefit from.
And since the FE beliefe has abandoned 'Bendy Light' untill it's better figured out, please dont reply with 'Lights bends up away from the FE'
