    This is a proof for sun is orbiting around the earth (I’m just joking)

      Funny, but then it would still be all dark or all light at once. Or do flat earthers also deny time zones?

        Flat earthers actually believe the sun is small and close (like the moon) and that it sort of rotates over the flat earth.

        Still hella dumb though because you should conceivably always be able to see the sun since it is a flat earth and the sun is above it.

      Heliocentrism didn’t come about just from observing the sun. We also had to observe the planets and figure out why they would suddenly change direction in the sky. After centuries of increasingly complex models that decently described the planetary motion with geocentrism, some calculating and new models that put the sun at the center made a lot of the models much more consistent.

        Exactly. It’s not that a geocentric model can’t be mathematically described and used to predict, it’s just that the math is much, much easier if you put the sun in the middle.

    Well when you want to go to sleep, you just say “flip me over, sky daddy”. Then God flips over the flat earth and that’s how we get to night.

    It’s definetly dark on the other side of our flat earth.

    And to prove I’m right: dark side of the moon by pink Floyd. The moon is also flat. Someone is flipping all those discs (you prefer ‘planets’) over every 24 hours, just like flat pancakes. How can you ignore all those obvious signs.

    Jeez. Those dumb round-earthers.

    Wrong! When its night time god gets a spatula and flips it onto the other side (where atlantis, Lemuria, etc are).

      Pretty sure Mormons proved that God actually just does a sick-ass in-pan flip. That’s why everyone dreams - from all the g-force. Which brings me to 5G…

    Alright, here is my take:

    Gravity bends light. Therefore, there is a tiny black hole between earth and the sun. You see, the black hole redirects the sunlight juuuuuuust perfect to simulate that sphere nonsense you sheeples believe in.

      Though even then, the sun would never go below the horizon, it would fly off in a stright line and disappear. Going below the horizon only works on a globe

        The idea is that the light is small and close. It doesn’t need to go over the horizon to disappear in the distance.

        I’m not sure how they explain the random pattern the light would need to travel for different seasons or why it looks so massive as it rises or sets.

          “it doesn’t need to go over the horizon to disappear in the distance”, but the problem is that it does go over the horizon rather than disappearing, as anyone who’s seen a sunset can attest

              Well that’s your problem right there: you’re using logic.

            Maybe not truly logical, but there is definitely an attempt at logic as well as experiments.

            The documentary Beyond the Globe was kinda funny, sad and interesting all at once.

          so most visible stars are about 1000 light years away. And they’re still visible. And our sun obviously cannot travel at least over 1000 light years twice a day.

            For reference a light year is about 63241 times further than the distance between the earth and sun.

        the record’s been playing a lot of screamo since the whole homo sapiens thing happened.

      And why does the sun remain a circle at all times? Shouldn’t it be sort of ovular in the morning and evening?
