I keep offering to do experiments and record the results, but you keep dodging what results I should expect under your "law of convergence".

If I shine a laser pointer down a hallway of say, 100 feet, how much bend in the laser light should I expect under your law of convergence?

If there is zero bending to the light, or so little it's indiscernible, then every picture I've shown you using basic trigonometry is valid and your law is wrong.

So, how much bending should I expect?

Their unscientific dogma entertains me so much! :D


Same here
What's amusing, you don't even have to debate with them

Just keep asking them to explain their beliefs and theories and they destroy their own arguments

I watched the vid and understand it perfectly.

All objects appear smaller the further away they get and eventually "converge" and meet at the vanishing point. Correct?

This image was taken from the YT vid. I just added how the sun should look according to the description. All of a sudden I don't understand

So pray tell how does the sun not appear smaller as it moves out of our range of vision (like you said) towards sunset
You claimed it operates in a different plane. Where is your proof of this?


Go back to post #6398 and watch the vid (only 4 mins long)....it explains WHY the sun does not appear to get smaller SOMETIMES, and other times the sun appears to be getting smaller.
The explanation given is not directly related to perspective though. I would prefer if you got back to this subject.
You say you understand that objects appear smaller the further away and eventually converge and meet at the vanishing point. Now focus on that horizon line, not the objects disappearing or converging.
What is the line trying to show you? In order to finally understand it, YOU the viewer must rise up and down while focusing on that horizon line (in real life, not just moving an image up and down in front of ur face).

ok so according to the vid
The atmosphere (due to the high content of water) is acting like a lens magnifying the view of sun which will prevent it appearing smaller as it moves further away

the sun is also below the dome according to you at 3000 miles above us

before i continue, Am I correct in your beliefs so far?

Also am I correct the the dome touches the Ice wall around the flat earth model in a half sphere shape
eg: you gave the earth to have a diameter of 7917.5 miles. So the height of the dome above the center of the FE is just under 4000 miles, Correct?

Shift in body fluids
Acclimation of the cardiovascular system to weightlessness is complex and not completely understood. Control mechanisms involving the autonomic nervous system, cardiac functions and peripheral vasculature all play a role.20,21 However, the primary cause of these acclimations can be attributed to a redistribution of body fluids toward the head.22 The supine prelaunch position with the lower limbs raised above the thoracoabdominal coronal plane initiates a fluid shift, which continues during orbit, with blood and other fluids moving from the lower limbs to the torso and head. During space flight, the volume in the lower limbs decreases by about 10% (1–2 L of fluid from the legs’ vascular and tissue space) compared with preflight.23 The facial fullness and unique puffy appearance of the head coupled with reduced volume in the lower limbs associated with this fluid redistribution is referred to anecdotally as the “puffy face–bird leg” syndrome.

All correct so far, according to reports the edge of the dome is between 80-120 miles further inland from where the ocean meets the ice wall.
I can't confirm this, as I've never been there though.

Also, due to perspective & convergence, I personally believe that the sun is much lower than the reported 3000 miles high using trigonometry
