Honestly a very good question and i don't know the answer to it
My initial thought is our vision perspective is only so far and the sun is so bright we can't tell it's getting smaller
Woulnd't this statement be true for the heliocentric model as well? We don't rotate around the sun in a perfect circle the same distance from the sun


The statement is also true for the heliocentric model and it can be measured. You just don't notice due to the very large distance between us and the Sun, but there is a difference.

If we're stationary, can you explain stellar parallax?

14000+ miles in an average of 12 hours, for an aircraft incapable of supersonic flight and a range of less than 11000 miles. Try again.


Always love watching Santara hand out intellectual slaps. FeelsGoodMan

Of course im honest im also here to disprove my current theory of flat earth, as of yet nothing has lead me off this track. Thats the whole purpose of this thread.
Ill gladly admit im wrong and im open to discussion so ty for asking the first question in 8k post
I don't have an answer for you at this time, thanks for making me think


Cool so then the next question must be do you believe the sun to be a uni-direction source of light (like a flashlight)
or an omni-directional source of light (like a candle)

Reason is if its an omni-directional source of light there's no way for it to deny light to the opposite of the FE during the night cycle
The light will be dimmer but still reach there

So what is the breaking point of this distance to where you won't see a size difference? The FE model may still be too distant from the sun

Stellar parallax is the "apparent" shift
Light can trick our eyes vastly, it's all about appearance and your perspective

This is assuming the flat earth is very small, the world is still quite large and the sun aswell.
It's omni-directional no doubt

According to card (I guess you use the same model) the Sun should be really closer to Earth than what it really is and also much smaller. If Earth is flat, you should see the Sun fading in the distance to a small point.

It's a measurable shift that can only be explained if we're moving.

Not sure why your asking me questions about fuel consumption and time.
There is a conspiracy that i have not looked into that planes run on compressed air as opposed to fuel
Maybe that would explain it, don't forget my question too bud
Why don't planes constantly dip their nose down to accommodate the curve?

I did and experiment related to this (will tell you in a minute)

If its omni-directional how much wider in diameter would you say the earth is compared to the sun?
Say 1000 times?

I'm not an expert i don't have the facts of the sun like it's measurements along with the earth's. How would one even obtain this information? We woulnd't unless were told by some goverment operation who "figured" it out with our tax dollars
