What in the name of zarking fardwarks is this?

Q: "Please explain sunrises/sunsets."

A: It's a perspective effect. Really, the sun is just getting farther away; it looks like it disappears because everything gets smaller and eventually disappears as it gets farther away.

I found this in your FAQ.  This is ludicrous.

At sunset, the sun does not disappear by getting smaller until we can't see it anymore; it disappears by moving below the horizon.

Have none of you ever actually seen a sunrise?

Well, that's not what bothers me the most. I'm more annoyed at the fact that this perspective effect cannot be reproduced, and happens only for the sun. And also at the fact that if it did happen that way, it would never get dark.  Since this is not an orbit of a sperical object circing another, and because of the small size of the earth, it's impossible for the sun to be far enough away so that photons travelling at the speed of light would not reach either end of the world.

Oh, you're assuming that the speed of light is what they teach in school.

That's just part of the conspiracy, sheep.

The teachers are in on it too? Damn, Suzeanne,  I trusted you

:lol: Suzeanne!  BITCH!

Wait... are you saying that things (other than the sun) do not appear to get closer to the horizon (in your visual field, I mean) as they get farther away?

This is hilarious. Anytime science proves you wrong, you call it a conspiracy. Why don't you just give up?

Hey hefdaddy. Having fun learning about the Ice Walls?
