Can you give a response that directly applies to the following?

You mean you can't walk outside and observe the Moons directional path? Does it go in the same direction as the Sun?

I mean I can go outside and see the Sun, Moon and celestial tropical belt stars go the same way. They all go from east to west.

Does this wording satisfy your demand? :)

That's better. You included the words "Moon, East and West" in a reply to a question I asked. Thank you.

Speaking of the surface of this Earth, what have you observed that proves to you Earth is a sphere?

Sunrise due east and sunset due west for each equinox.
Observed from:
Doha, Qatar - 25 degrees north
Winston-Salem, NC - 36 degrees north
Ohrid, Macedonia - 41 degrees north
Belgrade, Serbia - 45 degrees north
Frankfurt, Germany - 50 degrees north

Constant sun and moon angular diameter through the day.
Constant angular speed of celestial bodies through day.

Apparent horizon dip grows with altitude.
Horizon distance grows with altitude.

Measured distance to the Moon myself,
once in late 70s using 432 MHz radio waves,
once couple of years ago using sextant and lunar parallax.
Both times the result was somewhat over 380 000 kilometers.

Hills and buildings hidden more or less behind horizon when I change floor in tall building.
In hotel at sea shore horizon gets farther when I climb higher, and I see more or less
at the same moment of a day without waiting for refraction to change.

Shadow of horizon for sunset crawls up on building or hill behind me,
for sunrise on other building or hill crawls down.

Rayleigh scattering gives twilight at dawn and dusk.

There are many other things, too lazy to list them.
I don't have to fight about anything.
These things are not about me.
When one points facts out, they speak for themselves.
The main goal in all that is simplicity.

This post is in reply to most arguments above.  Arguments that have been addressed here at the FE forum many times but ignored.  Please don’t ignore the lights of the city at 52.72 miles away. And notice there is a horizon. 

On the one hand you argue that atmospheric effects can cause a setting sun and then in this video here you argue that atmospheric effects can't cause a higher than normal skyline. Which is it?

Discussing FE against non-believers, Rule n.1: Never show any evidence of FE, it could be proven wrong. Focus on attacking RE.

Clouds lit from underneath is a good point. But explained easily.


Yes please explain.



What's the location, and what do you think is a logical explanation other than Earths is curved?

Thats the shadow of mount Rainier, you have a few more pictures here:

As for the question, I was hopping you could answer that.

You said it was explained easily. So easily explain it.

Here's another. How is it on a flat earth that a lower mountain casts a shadow up to the top of of the highest mountain on earth at sunset. Please explain:

This question is asked of all here who believe Earth is a Sphere of any type. This all has to do with a reply Rabinoz posted to me.

Speaking of the surface of this Earth, what have you observed that proves to you Earth is a sphere?
I have observed that the horizon is a sharp and close - only a few kilometres from near sea-level.
This sort of thing:

The above photo was taken from about 2 m above water level and just left of centre there is a navigation beacon that is 2.6 km away.

If the earth were flat why is there no water visible past that beacon? Here is that beacon from a lower height and with a long telephoto lens:

Scarborough from 50 cm above water, Beacon 2.6 km away on Horizon
I took that photo and I know for certain that the navigation beacon in  photos is only 2.6 km from the beach.
Yet from only a few tens of metres high the horizon is still sharp but much further.

And I've seen videos taken from places I know and have visited that conclusively demonstrate that the horizon ie well below "eye-level".

The second video below is a local one that I know:
Does anyone have a real argument for why its round?
Because the horizon does not rise to "eye-level" as is claimed in the "FAQ" and the "Wiki".

Flat Earth: Does the horizon really rise to eye level? Rory.
Rory shows a number of simple ways that this can be tested and at the end says, "research it properly and figure it out for yourself".

And the next is from an earlier post and I present it here because Flaxton Gardens are only about 111 km from where I live and I've been there  a number of times.
So here is more evidence that the horizon falls below "eye-level":

Flat Earth? Mountains rising to meet eye-level by Andrew Eddie

Andrew Eddie found that, from Flaxton Gardens (418 m above sea-level), Mount Coolum (208 m above sea-level) lines up with the horizon.
This makes it certain that the horizon is below the local horizontal at Flaxton Gardens.

There are numerous more videos in like vein, though many are far less polite to flat-earthers!
Then the obvious evidence is simple things like sunrises and sunsets as in my own photos:
Then finally a couple of stills of the sun setting over the ocean at Weipa in Queensland:

Sun near setting at Weipa
               

Sunset at Weipa
I've seen no flat earth give a reasonable explanation of even that without a lot of assumptions and pure guesses.

The problem is the small minds and limited understanding humans have when trying to understand the nature of the universe around them

You see, we have not put the pieces together to find an answer - rather we have made up an answer and then tried to arrange the pieces that could fit to justify the answer.

If you are wrong from the start, you can still arrange the pieces to fall in a way that suits your answers. Afterall, we have written the rules.

We say the universe started with a big bang and had this hyper inflation etc etc. You see, that's wrong. But using the information available to us, we can fit the pieces together to form a narrative to say that's right! We wrote the rules so we can pretty much come up with any answer we like.

And what to you do when you get caught out? Say things like 'The laws break down at this level', 'Quantum', 'Dark Matter/Energy', 'Subspace' and so on.

They will never accept defeat because in their minds they will always be right. These people are the real enemy of progress - because in their selfish desire to get fame, money, etc they steer humanity down a black hole.

It can happen wherever and whenever the clouds are at an elevation just above the top of the mountain, there is a long expanse of lower land to the east or west, and clear skies farther away.  There are pictures of the same thing happening at Mt. Shasta, Glacier peak, Mt. Baker, Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Mcloughlin, and probably others elsewhere.

Setting sun

Ships and other objects over horizon

Chemistry

Physics

Surface of this Earth. Please.
  • The "Setting sun" is very much related to the shape of the "Surface of this Earth".

  • "Ships and other objects over the horizon" is very much related to the shape of the "Surface of this Earth".

  • "Physics", especially the physics of motion and gravitation is extremely relevant and the flat earth fails that many time over.

  • Astronomy was not mentioned but the easily observed motions of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars are not consistent with a flat stationary earth.
Try again!  But do I have to say it again? You asked the question, "When will RE Community Accept Defeat?" so YOU are not the one with a right to set the agenda!

Our small Sun reaches a point where it can't continue to cast light on the MT and there is no proof the Suns light doesn't bend through atmosphere from that far away at sun set.

Are you still going to use MT Rainier as actually proof Earth curves?

The sun sets EVERY DAY, EVERYWHERE! (between the Arctic/Antarctic circles). The sun rises every day, from essentially the opposite direction. Both events happen at highly predictable times that vary by ~24 hours depending on your position on the earth.

Does your "weather phenomenon" or "bendy light" explain this?

Nice deflection. So you don't know where your sun is. I can tell you exactly where mine is at any point in a day or night without having to school you on its orbital mechanics. When confronted with a question you can't answer you cower. Not a good look for you trying to make a case for just about anything.

Now, can you tell me where your sun is?

Our small Sun reaches a point where it can't continue to cast light on the MT
And yet it remains the same size all day.  How high do you think the sun is, and how far away would it need to be to be 1 degree above the horizon?  How far away would it need to be to appear to touch the horizon?

It's ok to say you can't explain it. I have been here long enough to see this question dodged dozens of times by FE, and on this earth plenty long to know you have ZERO chance of explaining these facts.

Please, take all the time you need. Hell, I'll even accept your explanation in meme form, if that makes you more comfortable.
I will always be Here To Laugh At You.
