Math is math.
And how that math corresponds to reality and models is evidence for or against the model.
If math based upon a model matches reality, it is evidence for the model.
If math based upon a model fails to match reality, it is evidence against the model.
If math based upon reality matches a model, it is evidence for the model.
If math based upon reality fails to match a model it is evidence against the model.

It is not the math by itself. It is how that compares to the model and reality.

Math based upon reality matches a RE and vice versa. Math based upon a FE typically does not.

Your results could just as easily be interpreted the Earth is a stationary flat plane and the distance to the Sun is different.
No it can't.
That only works in specific cases.
As a simple example, consider the north pole, 45 N and the equator, on the equinox.
The sun is at 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees respectively.
On a RE this works fine as this is merely the change in angle of the ground with a very distant sun.

On a FE it doesn't.
Based upon 45 N and the equator, the sun ends up being 5000 km above the equator.
Based upon the NP and the equator, the sun ends up being 0 km above the equator.
Based upon the NP and 45 N, the sun ends up being 0 km above 45 N.
These are 3 completely different locations.

So no, it doesn't work on a FE.
Stop lying.

You are simply a fucking parrot.
And a bad parrot at that.
Says the one continually parroting the same refuted BS?

The concept of a globe Earth, regardless of wishes and desires, is also imaginative flights of fancy, unfettered by the bounds of reality.
Except you have been completely unable to show any problem with it, nor any problem with evidence which supports it, nor evidence which refutes the FE nonsense.

All the evidence which is definiative indicates Earth is round.
The only "evidence" which "supports" a FE, is either pure BS, or which cannot distinguish between a flat and round Earth.

This indicates that a RE is reality, while a FE is delusional bullshit.

I think I was correct in my immediate dismissal of your legitimacy and in telling you to go pound sand.
I don't. You are still being a dishonest prick, ignoring what people say and making the safe refuted arguments.
Perhaps you should try pounding sand for a while?

I think my posting of this got censored and moved to "Complete Nonsense" by the moderator,  but I 'll try it again on this section.

Any scientist, engineer or technician involved in aeronautics or oceanics navigation will tell you that the Flat Earth Society is "Complete Nonsense" in itself.

I will concede that most of those people have probably  never even heard of the Flat Earth Society or so-called "flat earth believers", but those that do consider "flat earth" as "Complete Nonsense."

It does make for  interesting reading if you like fantasy fiction like "Alice In Wonderland" , "Gulliver's Travels" or "War Of The Worlds."LOL

Stick close , very close , to your P.C.and never go to sea
And you all may be Rulers of The Flat Earth Society

Look out your window , see what you shall see
And you all may be Rulers of The Flat Earth Society

Chorus:
Yes ! Never, never, never,  ever go to sea !

A little more tuition and we'll turn you into a Globularist, much better than being a Flatularist!

*Planarist
I think this is more impressive:
Or neo-PlanoTerrestrialist if you neo-Millennials prefer.

If I face north, things in the sky above travel from my right to left.
When looking north from the northern hemisphere, anything below Polaris - between it and the northern horizon - is travelling left to right.  It's only the stuff on the opposite side of Polaris (above it) travelling right to left.   Things to the right of Polaris are travelling up from your viewpoint, and things on the left are heading down.  (sun and moon obviously follow such paths)
Any thoughts on this observable truth Totallackey?

(to get this discussion even more rediculous) not necessarily true.
you have to say "When looking north from the northern hemisphere standing on my feet, anything below Polaris - between it and the northern horizon - is travelling left to right.  It's only the stuff on the opposite side of Polaris (above it) travelling right to left.   Things to the right of Polaris are travelling up from your viewpoint, and things on the left are heading down.  (sun and moon obviously follow such paths)
"
becaus if you face north, but you are upside down, then suddenly it is the other way around.
 :P :P :P
