"It is not an axiom. You made an assumption about how light works, then called me wrong.
Your name looks like it means level mastermind, but you forgot the M. You failed at being clever in your username. You have down syndrome.
Am I doing your sort of logic right? Oh btw, the last one is an axiom, everyone knows it.
(why did you make a step by step logical progression, then just jump some steps to get to a fact that "everyone knows"?)"
-While your disdain and hate is amusing, your ignorance to consider that you may be wrong is scary to saw the least.
"Also light bends when transitioning from hot to cold, or through objects like a magnifying glass.
I called him an idiot because all he was doing was making a baseless claim and pretending it was a logical procession.
If everything isn't distorted in shape, why do objects disappear?"
-When light travels from one substance or fluid (air is a fluid as well as liquids) to another its apparent bending is due to the differences in indexes of refractions. This apparent bending is a result of the absorption and re-emission of light on a molecular level. Light is energy. This is inherit and unfeigned and needs no argument. Objects that are cold have a potential to absorb more energy than objects that are warm. This is also unquestionable. When light travels from one substance or fluid to another then absorption rates change. Cold objects "hold on to" the energy for a longer duration of time and then release it again. Because light travels at a constant velocity of c then it cannot be re-emitted in a strait line because this would disprove light having a constant velocity. Therefor light must be re-emitted at an angle to traverse a distance in the same amount of time as it would a distance in another substance - as stipulated by the value of c. Because the velocity of light doesn't change, its path must change when going from a cold object to a warm one or vise versa to maintain the value of c while agreeing with cold/warm absorption rates.
-Light's apparent bending when it traverses a magnifying glass is due to a difference in molecular density. When density changes then absorption/re-emission rates also change because of the proximity of the molecules. This can easily be proven with a glass of various density. If you have a solid piece of glass and its density changes from a control of 1 to 2 evenly then light will appear to bend. If you have two pieces of glass at the same temperature that occupy the same volume but differ only in density then light will "bend" at different angles because light will be absorbed and re-emitted at a different rate. To put it more simply, dense objects absorb and re-emit light slower than less dense objects because there is a greater number of molecules that absorb the light. Thus, one would expect light to bend more in dense objects than less dense ones; and eventually not bend at all when traversing in a vacuum.
-Furthermore, this apparent bending of light is also a result of the wave-particle duality of light. Light is mysterious and we do not have all the answers but we do have the answers to disprove a flat earth. As a scientist, you cannot say anything is absolute or any theory is 100% true. This would defeat the purpose of being a scientist. Therefore, I cannot morally dismiss that there is a 1 in a google chance that I may be wrong but overwhelming experimental results all confirm that I am right.
-Light has a wave-particle duality.... What does this mean? It means that we cannot say for sure that light travels in a wave or a particle. Sometimes it acts like a wave and sometimes it acts like a particle. The process I described above of absorption and re-emission rates satisfies the particle theory. How can we satisfy the wave theory? Wave theory is satisfied through the superposition principle of waves. This is the theory that says that when a crest meets a crest of equal amplitude then they add to twice the wavelength. When a crest meets a trough they annihilate. This can easily be proven with double slit interference and you can do it yourself at home with a flashlight. When a wave travels from one substance or fluid with a certain density to another then its path changes. This can be proven by listening to the radio outside of a pool and then jumping in the pool and the sound from the radio will appear distorted. How does this apply to light? When light (wave theory) traverses from one density to another its path changes because the material density changes and thus accounts for the apparent bending.
-Other notes on light that disprove FE "bendy light" theory-
-The FE theory of light assumes that light is bending away from the observer and toward the source. Thus it is traveling in an arc. An arc is a portion of a circle... This would mean that eventually the light would bend back in on itself and eventually complete the circle and return to the source again. That would mean that we would NOT be able to see light from distant objects because it would bend back in on itself before it reached the observer's eye and thus we would not be able to see the object at all. This would account for the "top-down" disappearance that I described originally and you coined (even though I find that top-down is an inaccurate description).
-FE theory says that the sun is some 200 miles away. This is an extremely violent bend for light to take over a 200 mile distance to control the entire day and night cycle. If this were the case then objects 200 miles away would appear extremely distorted and nearly unresolvable.
-The theory for the seasons, as described by REers, is the tilt of the Earth. The tilt of the earth accounts for the seasons because of the angle of incidence light makes with the ground. Here is a simple experiment to explain it... Take a flashlight and a piece of paper. Put the flashlight and paper at a fixed distance away. Now shine the light so its rays are normal to the paper and you will see a defined circle. Now tilt the paper and you will see somewhat of an ellipse. Because the same about of light is being emitted from the flashlight in both cases - when the rays hit the paper that is normal to the light it is more concentrated. When the rays hit the paper that is tilted they are spread out and less concentrated. Remembering that light is energy we can conclude that the energy is more and less concentrated depending on the angle of incidence. Thus when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun the light rays are more direct and we receive more sunlight and more energy and we have longer days and summer. When the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun the light rays are less direct and we receive less sunlight and less energy and we have shorter days and winter.
-While I think it is noble to support an idea that no one else supports I find it foolish to completely disregard all experimental evidence, some of which you can do yourself, as a NASA conspiracy. Take this with a grain of salt and I urge you to challenge not only the ethics of NASA, but of other FEers. Do not brainwash yourself and let them trap your mind.
