Speed of sunset (or sunrise)
« on: June 03, 2015, 01:47:24 PM »
At the equator sunset (or sunrise) is quite fast. When I go north or south from the equator, sunset is slower. The further I go the slower it gets. On the round Earth this is easily explained. How is it explained on the flat Earth?

Prepare for either the perspective and bendy light explanation or the claim that you are lying.

I forgot the completely ignoring your question version of things, sorry about that.
BTW, there is no way to explain that for a flat Earth hypothesis.  Hell use their great Rowbotham's own experiments and see how the sun gets closer and further away from the surface of the Earth as the day goes on and as the seasons change.  Use the experiment correctly with the correct controls, like the differing points of observation being far enough apart and along the same latitude lines, and you get one of two things.  The Earth is round and a close approximation of the diameter, or wildly different heights of the Sun above the Earth at the same time at the two different positions. 
As for the relative speed of the Sun across the sky, they can't explain this. 
The same could be said for the Antarctic midnight sun scenario.  They cannot explain it so in their models it doesn't exist.

Flat Earthers seem to be too poor to travel or know anything about the World, and for sure nobody here is going to give a serious answer.    Whatever apparently serious answers you get are just designed to suck you in so the excitement of ridiculing you later is more effective.

Possibly this board is linked to a betting scheme where the punters place bets to see how long they can keep you dangling.

And of course the flat earthers avoid this thread because it's covered in flat earther repellent better known as logic.

See the thread about it here.

Prepared waiting for an answer. Lol.
First of all the equator is an Imaganary line . Secondly a compass demonstrates in a spherical moble ,traveling in a south direction will end at north. So care to own up now that your a liar ?

Although there is not actual line that you can see charles, there is a point to where you are equidistant from both poles on the axis of rotation.  Normal people call this the equator.  Normal people don't just call someone a liar for asking a question, then stating that they are still waiting for an answer when none had been provided.  That's not lying.
Here is a lie for you charles, "I do not live in Baton Rouge."  There ya go, you can honestly call me a liar now, I just gave the only one I have ever used here.

And that, ladies and gents, is the million dollar question.
The answer to which is the same as the answer to the question of how much suspicion Arthur Dent had that his close friend Ford Prefect was actually an alien from a planet near the proximity of Betelgeuse.
None at all.
This is the paradoxical dual brilliance/idiocy of conspiracy theories.
Any and all forms of evidence which go against the idea of a conspiracy are just part of the conspiracy and can be ignored at will by the conspiracy theorist.
