    "Flat Earth" or "Globe Earth"

    Those clouds are not behind the sun because if they were the sun would illuminate them.

    "Flat Earth" or "Globe Earth"

    Why does the azimuth angle of the Sun match the globe earth model and why is it more than 19.5° askew from flat earth predictions? Wouldn't that falsify the flat earth?

    "Flat Earth" or "Globe Earth"

    What proof do you have that man can only travel to a maximum altitude of 30 miles? Why are you ignoring my original question?

    "Flat Earth" or "Globe Earth"

    A question for you. The AE (Gleason Map) model predicted that on 1/25/2020 2:00 PM (Local True Solar Time) at a latitude of 40.5° N the azimuth of the Sun would be 230.5°. The globe earth model predicted the azimuth would be 211.12°. I measured the azimuth of the sun to be 211° with my phone's...

    Proof of the Constancy of the Speed of Light

    Okay, fair enough. For the first equation (Gauss' Law for electric fields), in a vacuum far enough away from charged objects, the divergence of an electric field (E) is zero because the electric charge density (rho) is zero. Zero divided by the nonzero permittivity of free space is zero. For the...

    Proof of the Constancy of the Speed of Light

    Where did I deviate from the Heaviside form of Maxwell's Equations?

    Proof of the Constancy of the Speed of Light

    I should have specified that I was using the 'Heaviside' form of Maxwell's Equations.

    Proof of the Constancy of the Speed of Light

    Science doesn't deal in facts. It is a method of knowing more than it is a body of knowledge. We can never prove hypotheses. We can only attempt to falsify them. When a hypothesis has failed to have been falsified through experimentation, it is provisionally accepted as a potential explanation...

    Proof of the Constancy of the Speed of Light

    The proof I gave is derived from Maxwell's Equations. These equations describe the behavior of electromagnetism. First, I derived the electromagnetic wave equation from Maxwell's Equations. Then, I took the second-order partial derivative of the solution to the electromagnetic wave equation with...

    Proof of the Constancy of the Speed of Light

    A theory is not a guess. A theory is a concatenation of multiple hypotheses. A hypothesis (in a scientific context) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon that is testable, repeatable, falsifiable, and parsimonious (Occam's Razor). If the explanation is not testable, repeatable, falsifiable...

    Proof of the Constancy of the Speed of Light

    Mathematics is not speculation. It can be proven from its basic axioms: TOC of Theorem List - Metamath Proof Explorer. If you are confused about divergence and curl, I recommend the following video explaining them: . Maxwell's Equations have failed attempts at falsification through...

    Proof of the Constancy of the Speed of Light

    Thanks for reminding me.

    Flat Earth Debunk

    Technically, I was referring to Gleason's Azimuthal Equidistant model.

    Flat Earth Debunk

    I have experienced this myself during debates (that feel more like intellectual dumpster fires) with flat earthers. However, if the evidence you present is not labelled as a part of the conspiracy, then they will usually resort to extremely poor ad hoc explanations that fall apart upon cursory...

    Flat Earth Debunk

    Why do you think we bring mockery upon ourselves? Are you referring to all Christians or to a specific subset?

    Flat Earth Debunk

    Precisely, the Earth is a spherical planet. I do not think the Earth is flat.

    Flat Earth Debunk

    The instrument I used to measure the azimuth of the Sun was my phone's compass (Yamaha YAS539 Magnetometer). It has a precision of ±0.0028647889112°. The app I was using had a precision of ±0.5° due to rounding.

    Flat Earth Debunk

    The flat earth model predicted that on 1/25/2020 2:00 PM (Local True Solar Time) at a latitude of 40.5° N the azimuth of the Sun would be 230.5°. The globe earth model predicted the azimuth would be 211.12°. I measured the azimuth of the sun to be 211°. The flat earth prediction came from the...

    "Flat Earth" or "Globe Earth"

    I think that the Earth is round for many reasons. Chief among them is the fact that lunar parallax demonstrates the distance to the moon (via the law of sines) to be 384,000,000 meters. Far above the 4,828,032 meters (3000 miles) given by flat earth proponents. Another reason I believe that the...
