I understand it, and I know that it is untrue.

What makes you think that?

Is everyone who disagrees with you indoctrinated?

Indoctrinate: to teach (someone) to fully accept the ideas, opinions, and beliefs of a particular group and to not consider other ideas, opinions, and beliefs

If Children's programming on youtube is where you get your info, I need a video of you singing that song - that would be undebunkable. :rofl:

Time Lapse of the shrinking sunset proves the Flat Earth model!

If the earth was a globe -it should never shrink.

WHAT? Your kidding right? Why could our perspective of the sun not shrink if the earth is round, you make absolutely no sense at all, this is why people are sick of you. You're damn "proof" doesn't even make any damn sense.

Correct it is not getting higher in reality, just optically. ballers think it is getting physically higher and dont understand the difference between 2d side views with no perspective and actual 3 d perspective

If the water is not physically getting higher , and it optical works the exact same as things on a plane - then if the glove dont fit, you must acquit - despite you wanting to convict.


I realize i need to make things simpler - so here's a visual question even a child can answer.

The.. stuff is not on the same plane ._.
Consider the Earth is a globe. Therefore, the water is on more than one planes (just fit it in a diagram and you'll find out its respective height will differ at two different values for either of the two variables you insert). Next, consider your hallway. Even if we don't consider the assumption that we like to build things straight and let's assume it is indeed following the curvature of the globe (absurd, right!), the sheer size of the globe will make the length of this hallway neglible. Even if it didn't, it would follow the curvature and we'd never know since our path in that hallway will have the same point of gravity around which we curve.

Next, let me shoot down the "sun would never shrink" kind of thing. I'm not even going to argue at the level of t in hours, but let's find t in years and see the distance Earth,Sun (or Sun,Earth whichever you like) is a variable.

Now, as a proper man, I'll sport your idea of flat earth for a moment for my upcoming question. How do you explain seasons on Earth?

Their working explanation is that the sun rotates around the earth causing seasons and time zones and that the sun is much smaller and closer. However this does nothing to explain the fact this makes no sense when compared to our knowledge of star movements and also how other planets orbit nor has be been able to even theorize the orbit of other planet in conjunction with his theorized earth and sun placement.

Having a smaller and closer sun that revolves around us does not explain climates and seasons at all ._.

yes it does, because as the sun rotates above, it goes between the tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn - alternating between a warmer north and a warmer south
