A few questions before I start doing anything.

1. A basketball court is 94 feet long. At this length how obscured would a baseball be if placed at the other end according to the Flat Earth model?

2. How large is the sun? And how high up is it?

3. Is there any reason I can't recreate the effect of perspective scaled down to a basketball court?



Also a general question. Why is the light not following a straight path in the flat earth model of perspective? What changes the direction of the light as it moves through the atmosphere outside of optically neutral events like scattering?

Haven't bothered reading anything past op.
but pretty sure the real representation of the poll is

Are you a:
1) Troll
2) Genuine Idiot

no offense to the genuine idiots that followed through with this clickbait hoping to discuss something meaningful.

yep, joker thread belongs in joker forum.

Or maybe the religious section, where they ban anyone who has an alternative opinion or idea that doesn't include blind faith is sky daddy.

otherwise imo, :locked:

See, this is why you will never be taken seriously. I posted a source explaining the different kinds of drainage from a field managers association who actually maintains these fields, and you dismiss it as "not a source" or whatever, while posting YouTube videos and expecting us to take them seriously.


Oh, and dodging my question. If I can verify my model on a surface that I can verify to be flat, will you drop your "perspective" bullshit? I doubt you will agree to it, since that would mean your beliefs became dependent on evidence.


This is why you'll never be taken seriously, you posted a cartoon diagram with a recommendation from a fake grass company, not actual proof that footballs fields have an 18 inch hump in them.

Your only proof that we live on a spinning ball is to call people who dont think we live on a spinning ball retarded, and despite your being triggered, i hardly think consensus science is actual proof - just proof that most people are afraid to be called retarded.

You desperately wanna believe in astro-science, but if we really lived on a spinning ball there would be some actual proof of it by now. When you stop being triggered, and you actually critically think about where we live, you realize the spinning ball proof is just assumption, misdirection, myth, circle

jerk backwards logic and fake cartoon pictures. It's really the Dogma of the State and thinking its so different than that of organized religion, is not only keeping you blind and foolish, it's keeping you chained to your faith.

It's like he is saying to us, what we all know about him.

Like inverse projection?

Maybe I should write a paper on it.

1. Depends on your perspective, what lense you choose - aka where you place the camera.

2. In the FE Model they say it's 38 miles across and 3500 miles up. I could show you how to calculate this with parallax but since we both know you won't watch anything besides your bias, so that would be pointless.

3. Any reason to fail? If you dont know what your doing, perhaps.

4. because the Light is relative to your local perspective - not relative to the entire earth - that's why it can appear to be setting in India to the west while it appears to be rising to the east in NYC

What changes the direction of light - your local perspective of the orbiting sun. Another theory is that the Sun is actually a giant ball of electricity and as it's passing your sky it excites the noble gases in the air to create light, so daylight could be a combination of direct sunlight, reflection off the dome and excited Noble gases.
