    The evidence was rebutted.

    • by the way John, your perspective video is a mockumentery - it is a joke. on purpose. He is trolling YOU!

      also the formula he uses to calculate the distance to the horizon, is the formula used to calculate the horizon on a globe. this globe. earth

          Dispersed cloud shadows and dispersed, variable angled light rays through clouds are evidence for a close, small sun. The long distances seen on shore lines is evidence for a flat earth. The model accounts for these physical observations and posits that the sun lights up what is observed to light up.


          perspective doesn't work that way. especially when you are looking up were there is no horizon.
          Others think otherwise than you. Your evidence?

          in fact in a flat earth, a horizon is an oxymoron. there is no horizon, just the edge of the earth. in fact while to your unaided eye you might think there is a horizoon because further away objects get smaller in your vision, they would never disappear over a horizon. if you looked with a telescope you would be able to see further, and a very powerful telescope could magnify any object on earth to be seen.

          try troll again.
          The following series of pictures of the sun from a plane show the sun's size reduces. The reduction in sun size is not accounted for in the global earth, Helio model. As the Helio model says te sun is about 93 million miles away, the sun's size should not change much at all over the day, for the earth-sun distance doesn't change much. The setting sun is evidence for a close sun that changes size as it orbits away from the viewer and not a large, distant sun.

            Of course you reject all of these for inconsistent reasons.

                  Geos have answered all these claims already. There is no proof, only claims by Helios who think they have evidence. The evidence can be interpreted in the Geo model better than the Helio model.

                      What claim?

                      So are you saying we CAN see the Sun when it's over Italy and nighttime in the U.S. of A.???

                        Geo have answered inconsistently and incorrectly.

                        "Helio" explains them all in a mathematically and physically consistent manner.

                          Wow, drawing the water into a huge well. Surprising we haven't found that yet. Sounds like it would create one heckuva current while drawing in and expelling all that water. I would think the forces involved would even create significant atmospheric effects.

                            Nope.

                            And you have nothing but claiming "Helios" have no evidence.

                            Deluded fantasies by Medieval-brained fideist nutters are not evidence, except perhaps for a schizophrenic.

                              But not Italy itself?

                              When it's sunny in Italy, is it sunny in the U.S. as well?

                                When I've flown over seas, on a 12 hour trip, the time difference between the east coast and Brittan, is 6 hours. Likewise, trips in an aircraft going west-east are different than going east-west because of the earth's rotation.

                                I wonder how crazy JM will explain this stuff, unless of course, I'm also in on the conspiracy because I work in the AF and aircraft don't really fly like it's been described over the past century.
