"The Spotlight Sun"

So, in other words, you're just making this stuff up.  Again.   

You mean like Einstein made up Special Relativity?

I hate to tell you this, but, the whole FE theory is a spit in the face of Scientific method.

From Wikipedia "To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.[1] A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.[2]"

What FE is doing is the opposite. The only evidence used in FE is evidence that supports your theory. All other evidence is thrown out the window. Then, when all the evidence that is around you strongly refutes your position, you just make up some crazy, unsupported theory to support your other unsupported theory.

So, there are seriously mirrors up in space that are floating around that are focusing the sunlight in one place so that that there is darkness in other places? Seriously? That stupid Spherical earth theory just doesn't cut it. I mean, if the earth is a perfect sphere, then the time zones and the light in different times works without some kind of ET flying around in space. Ever heard of Occam's Razor?

Special relativity doesn't involve the daft idea of "sky mirrors"

by the way, I actively disbelieve that the sky mirror could even do what it's meant to without causing some pretty major side-effects that we just don't observe. For instance, given that it is above the sun, it's not going to obstruct the path of the light it emits, so the sun should be completely visible as it passes over, until it's too far away. But to have a 14 hour day somewhere in the southern hemisphere (and only one sun at any one time), your "sky mirror" will have to project an image of the sun, to appear the exact time it would otherwise "set", and keep projecting this image (presumably it would need to rise again) for a significant amount of time. So, the sun would need to rise and set at least twice in just the one day. Or, you would need more than one image of the sun.



You'd have done better with a refractive material of some sort. At least then it could create (to some degree) the kind of pattern of light observed, without the danger of multiple images of the sun or other side effects. In fact you could have called it "the refraction object" if you wanted.. but the fact you spouted that rubbish about sky mirrors instead, just makes another failed FE attempt at explaining an RE world.

Pretty much.  But, then again, Einstein was much better at making sure that he could back up his wild claims with solid math before he went public with them.

Einstein died before he could finish his Theory of Fishes Nudging Boats. Thank God you were able to continue his work.

A theory, like "The Great Sky Mirror" put forward by Osama:

once again no comments. I'm noticing a pattern here..
