Flat Earth

"...So, if I put my eye at ground level the sun doesn't appear to set?..."

How do you come to such an irrational conclusion?
...

Ok, I think I finally figured out what you are saying. You are explaining why the bottom of the sun is flat instead of round, so that it appears to go below the plane when it actually doesn't. Sorry, my globe earth biases obviously get in the way.

@odolvlobo,








@guigui371,

"...Do they just turn if off on the ceiling (of the dome) ?..."

Such irrationality.

The sun is a close small object made from electrical plasma and it travels in a circle above us around the north pole. The earth is large enough that the sun only lights up part of the surface at once. The sun also has a yearly bi-annual lateral movement that accounts for the seasons.

That was on purpose

You could have provided a photo to explain.
I guess i found my answer (it is a cool GIF)

I've never understood flat eathers' boners for cheap compact cameras like the Nikon P900 or its successor. They're hailed as the holy grails of cameras and when they're not able to focus correctly because of their cheap electronics and optics, the non-focused blurry images are considered to be the "true" forms of planets and stars by flat earthers. And vice versa, truly sharp pictures which are shot with better equipment and focused correctly are considered to be fakes produced by the illuminati or something.

Most sensible people would consider badly focused images as crap, but ghost hunters, flat eathers and UFO nuts thrive on crappy, shaken, badly focused and blurry images which are believed to show the "truth".

Cheapskate, what's up with the $89,579 USD one?

These reviews all say your cheap camera is shit.

photo quality just seems to be utter crap

the images are awful, this camera has wayyyyyy to small of a sensor, cell phones have a bigger better sensor than this has

Picture quality is not very good and grainy. Forget low light photography with this one. They need to put in a better sensor

It's predecessor was so shit that someone used it to "prove" a basketball is flat.



Remind you of anything?



Is the death star flat too?

@HI-TEC99,

   I'm gonna call you out on that one.

@HI-TEC99,

   I'm gonna call you out on that one.

So a basketball is round despite the P900 "evidence", but the Earth is flat because of your P1000 shit camera "evidence"?

You can't call anything, even if it was sitting on your nose.

I hope your charting is not as bad as your Photoshop skills, you extraordinary cunt.
The basketball is undeniably, observable & measurable flat - as is the Death Star, and anyone who that can't see that, better rope himself or bake in an oven.

~ Sorry guys ~

On the other hand, our planet Earth is not flat - but rather a blue marble spinning into space.

The earth is not a globe, it fails a distance to the horizon test with a wide margin of error when a zoom lens is employed; the default is flat. The close-up of a basketball is a failed attempt a mockery, it literally shows a curve.



FDSS is bad, but it's the only one that works.

BTW I can fail the globe with any zoom lens that an angular resolution limit of less than 1 minute.

Your P1000 only has a big zoom because it has a shit sensor. I bet you haven't even tried your "test" with a ‎$89,579 USD Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6 L USM.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskPhotography/comments/8zk20g/do_you_think_the_nikon_coolpix_p1000_is_a_little/e2jk5g2/

The small sensor on the p1000 makes the ridonkulous focal length possible. If the sensor were bigger, the lens would have to be much, much bigger to cover it.

With that said, the sensor is "shitty" in the sense that a $200 D3100 will outperform it

Your camera is shit.

[Cryptotourist]

Your camera is shit.

You're talking to Batty here, shit for brains - shit for camera, check.

[notbatman]

@HI-TEC99,

   The test relies on a landmark of known distance. I could pull the sensor from a PXL-2000 and still fail the globe with a lens made from coke bottles.

Proving the earth is flat with a P1000 is like exterminating a mouse with a rail gun.

Go on a first date with a girl in such a car

It is some kind of funny but it could do just fine if both are also flat earth believers. If not, it is hard to imagine how it works out. Unless you are changing the car into a Lamborghini, the other one might adjust.

^^^ Knowing the earth is flat isn't a belief. It's like discovering your spouse sleeps around and that you're a massive cuckold. You can't ever go back to believing their lies.

No, it isn't close. Even on your flatopian fantasy earth if your itty bitty Sun is few thousand miles above your flat world it can NEVER EVER get close to the ground. You should be able to see it all 24 hours because flatopia can never get in the way to block its light. It should also shrink down to a small point of light if it is as ridiculously small as you believe, but it doesn't because the size of the Sun does not ever change during the day. In other words, Da Earf is not Phlat. There are more than a few problems with Flatopia and it's silly Sun and Moon as demonstrated.https://youtu.be/uexZbunD7Jg

^^^ The angular resolution limit of the human eye is 1 minute, which corresponds to 1 foot at a 1/2 nautical mile distance. For a 6 foot observer, this equates to a horizon only 3 nautical miles away. This is that farthest the human eye can see.

Then add the limiting effects of the atmosphere to a locally illuminating 32 nautical mile wide sun.

The earth is large, the sun is small and we can only see so far.

Are you saying the sun is only 3 miles away?
