They should know better as well. I'm sure some have figured it out since.

Perhaps, but I have seen flat earthers use that argument.
You see, that's what assumptions get you. Nowhere.We get - in addition to not understanding evolution or genetics, you are also a flat earther...
I saw a youtube video with "evidence" that the sun is actually so close to the earth that it is sometimes in front of clouds. It was all very serious and sciency, with the host interviewing someone claiming to have worked at some kind of tech firm or something.
They truly believed that optical illusions proved their 'woke' fantasy.
LOL!
Wow...
What causes us to stay on the earth in a flat earth fantasy?
I have read that flat earthers claim that it is because the flat earth is constantly accelerating at 1g up.
Ok thanks. I think the guy really needs to make the dimensions accurate though. He would need a relatively sized ball of round light called the sun, at a relative distance to a relatively sized and placed earth and moon in order to be accurate about shadow formations.
Notice the shadow cast onto a flat moon from a circular object match, while one cast onto a globe do not....... This is one everybody can test in their own homes.... I suggest people do so.....
Agreed, until someone does this the question is open....Ok thanks. I think the guy really needs to make the dimensions accurate though.

So does FE deny that 4 friends who live in New Jersey, Chicago, Colorado, and San Fran can be group texting each other about how the sun is disappearing over the horizon at different times?
Well I had in mind the people who say that your ‘Perspective’ is that a boat lowers out of sight, but that if you look through a telescope at it it comes back into view. Maybe there’s some optical illusion over distant water, idk, but this telescope solution is not going to bring a sun back into view after it falls below the horizon.Why would they, according to the theory each persons "horizon" is a matter of perspective.
But they have texted while on opposite sides of the earth, Australia, England and I forget the third (Alaska I believe) and the sun was visible at all three locations.....
But since I don't have my astronomy software installed on my new computer I haven't yet checked their claims.... that it shouldn't be visible...
Why is this significant? Sunset in Fairbanks Alaska is 10:28 pm. Sunrise in London is 5:39 am. Sunset in Sydney is 5:22 pm.But they have texted while on opposite sides of the earth, Australia, England and I forget the third (Alaska I believe) and the sun was visible at all three locations.....

It’s the ‘lowering’ out of sight that FE claims is an optical illusion, as opposed to just getting too small to see. But I don’t understand that argument, boats clearly lower out of sight when I’m on a beach, huge boats too, very gradually, I don’t buy the argument that a telescope will bring back into sight 30 feet of ship that lowered out of sight.Such a thing has never been demonstrated. Surprise, you can see small things from far away with a telescope that you can't with the naked eye.
Good point, is there such a video???Well I had in mind the people who say that your ‘Perspective’ is that a boat lowers out of sight, but that if you look through a telescope at it it comes back into view.

I wish I could freeze time for a year to read all the books and videos I have on my plate lolGood point, is there such a video???

Wow. Congrats. You just demonstrated that you can see things better with magnification than you can without. I particularly liked the one where you could clearly see the horizon BEHIND the boat.
Ahh, but you also just demonstrated the "Horizon" moved with the ability to see further.........
