[QUOTE="Freodin, post: 73491591, member: 1363"] That's the problem that the Flat Earthers just cannot accept: as soon as you do this experiment with three or more points, it cannot work on a flat earth with a close sun anymore. Erathostenes uses just simple geometry. Even if we take into account all the physical effects that might influence our measurements, we can still get results within a reasonable margin of error. But if you use the same methods, the same geometry in reverse... start with the assumption of a flat earth and a close sun... you can use it to figure out the position and distance of this sun. And guess what... it no longer works with more than two points of measurement. Yes, I did. What I have seen, again and again, over and over, is "Flat Earthers" starting to "think for themselves", and demonstrate that they simply do not understand the model they are criticising. Then, when they are presented with explanations, they cry "fake!". That might be the main problem with the whole "insulting" and "flaming". Modern Flat Earthism isn't a competing model. It is a conspiracy theory. It's basis is not experimentation, understanding and "knowledge". It is slandering the opponent. [/QUOTE]
