do you accept hearsay as solid evidence?


Like you always do

You gave an aproximate figure, so did I.
There are a few sources (outside youtube) with calculations

Besides considering it provides light to all countries close to the same timezone and comparing to a high powered flashlight its obvious

Eg: I have a 1000 lumen flashlight from klarus no where near as bright as the sun.

The reason Chivas won't answer my question about light bending is that he knows for a fact it doesn't unless you make the atmosphere significantly non-uniform (this can be easily demonstrated with a laser pointer) and that ultimately disproves his "law of perspective and convergence".

Light can bend, via gravitational lensing / spacial warping... (sort of) :mellow:
