Day and night in different places on Earth at the same time; how is it possible?

I live in Germany and have about two dozen co-workers in different timezones (Brazil, Australia, South Africa, U.S. East Coast and West Coast, Japan, Northern Africa, Canada and some other places).

Due to work necessary for our job, we often have live group video chats.

There is always someone part of the video chat, where it is night, whilst it is daytime in my place; always someone where it is early in the morning or early in the evening.


It seems impossible with everything I read so far about Flat Earth.


How is this possible on a flat Earth?

If you examine the flat earth day and night models, it will help you understand the subject.

reported.

I have done that.

And the models I studied, eventually, declare it impossible.


Hence my question here.

What the hack are you talking about? Did you examine this and still thinked it impossible?



I'm starting to think he's not being sincere with his questions anymore. When you look at this picture, does it look like day and night don't occur at the same time? Can't you really see day and night at the same time?

I have and that is exactly why it seems impossible, hence my question.

As stated above, when talking to my coworkers, we have various people from four or five different times of the day present, usually. (Depending on who is attending.)

 

When 5 to 10 people attend, it is usually this:
One in bright daylight, around 12 o'clock (usually me), one in absolute darkness (middle of the night), one in the early morning, one in the early evening, as well as someone where it is around 5 o'clock p.m.

The model in the picture shows an area in absolute daylight and the rest in darkness.
 

The picture would lead to the conclusion that everyone in the same area of light should have the same level of light; regardless of the timezone, and that only two different levels of light are possible.

 

Having five different levels of light outside is not be possible when using the picture as a reference.

If you look at the question you asked in your first post, you asked how it is possible for it to be night in some cities and daytime in others at the same time. When I give you an example that explains this in its simplest form, you are talking about 5 light levels. Again, you feed the question with new questions.

My original question contained the piece of information about different light levels; yet, you posted a picture of something that was definitely not compatible with that statement of mine.

My original question contained this piece:

There is always someone part of the video chat, where it is night, whilst it is daytime in my place; always someone where it is early in the morning or early in the evening.

Unless you need extra clarification that different times of the day means different light levels.

I thought that different light levels at different times of the day is inferred. If not, I apologize.


In any event, given the information in my original post, your reply is definitely not an answer to my question, as it is not compatible with the facts stated by me (different daytimes, different light levels).

Ok. The light will be brighter because it is closer to the area directly under the sun, and the light level will be lower because the farthest part of the place that appears bright will be the farthest from the sun.

If that is the case, it would mean that we are talking about a regular star following established rules of light distribution. A round star, to be precise.
Only a round sun could emit light waves in such a way that it leads to different levels of illumination; and a round star's light emitted cannot have such a sharp crossing between different levels of illumination (the darkness vs. the light).

If the sun were a lamp with directed light, we could have total darkness and total light, but no different light levels. Not at such a close distance as the is claimed to be above Earth.



In that case, the picture you provided is also not applicable, so the question is still not answered.



We are back to square one.

Well, thank you for trying anyways. I'll look elsewhere for answers.

You don't seem to know the topic when you ask the question. But when I try to answer, you detail the issue very well. I think I'm making a mistake by caring about your questions. Okay, you can continue chanting slogans as you wish.

Hmm, how can the Antarctic be subject to 24 hour sunlight if the sun is rotating about the north pole centered flat earth?



If the flat earth is south pole centered then how can the Arctic be subject to 24 hour sunlight.

The earth is said to have a tilt to it, which makes it a bit more plausible, even if it is flat, 24h sunlight is likely

You should not make a definitive judgment based on the observations of others. This could all be bogus. After all, you are not allowed to enter or travel around Antarctica. Daniel has been trying to go around Antarctica for 10 years, but the British navy does not allow him to get closer than 100 kilometers.

Do not be a fool and talk of one you do not know. You only weaken both of our causes.

But yes, it is indeed impossible for one to conduct serious research there due to the constraints imposed by international law and the long arm of the powers that be. At best its assholes with blogs to show you can throw boiling water out your window and have it sublimate or have noodles freeze while holding them for 20 minutes in place.

This is the very reason we have penguins in the first place.

You might as well be watching Bill Nye.

It seems like your response reads more like something from a 12-year-old than a forum admin. This isn’t a discussion section for flat Earth believers; it’s a space for answering questions. Even if you mention me, the expectation is to respond to the person who asked the question. As an admin, you could quietly resolve the issue by deleting the response you found incorrect. Instead, it looks like you’ve chosen to steer the section into a debate, acting less like a flat Earth society president and more like someone NotSoSpectical. It's sad you're back to your old obsession, I thought we were over that. I guess being an admin gives you a superhuman confidence that puts you above the rules. Rules for you are merely a playful tool illuminating your little world.

Considering you’ve taken John’s place, we certainly can’t know what you’ve done to Daniel better than you do. However, that doesn’t stop us from believing what we want about things we don’t know. I don’t expect you to understand this belief system since you’re clearly not a true believer.

So, when I say that conducting research there is indeed impossible, how does insulting me while repeating that same truth reflect successful management or knowledge sharing? I’m asking to better understand your perspective.

Penguins don’t belong to this world as we know it. Their natural habitat is between Antarctica and other continents. They might be flying in the denser parts elsewhere. Those wings must serve a purpose, right? You can compare that to your brain. You have a brain, so it should be useful, just like penguins have wings for a reason.
