Cera and Miser, the flight routes are actually not true. If you book a flight from Sydney to Santiago, it will follow a route across the pacific ocean which is a circular flight path when mapped to a EAP map, as shown below. That is because this route follows a straight line on the sphere that is Earth.

That's no mere claim. There are a couple time-lapse films allegedly showing 24h sun that were proven to be fakes. Why fake it if it exists? Just do a real video.

They were not actually fake. In the most popular one, it was footage of the Sun going over 360 degrees around, where the last few degrees just started from the beginning again, so it was a loop.

Now what FEers should do is not "debunk" the looped 360th degree, but focus on the other 359 degrees instead. Because that's 24h already.

Here's a totally different video:

And here's a 360° version of it (pan to look around):

I mean, you can keep denying it, because it's easier for you FE folks if you don't have to explain it, but an explanation for Sun on the complete ice ring would still be quite interesting to hear.

I don't profess to be smart enough to look at the calculations, make my own, or verify others' calculations with any kind of confidence. That's part of why I kinda ignore the NASA/YouTube side of things. How am I to know whether these people are fooling me with silver tongue?

What I do understand is what I can see. What I trust is that which is available freely from non-zog sources. Someone innocently posting sunset timelapses because they like photography is someone I trust 1000x over an explicit NASA or FE (or RE) source.

I hate to bring this up again but I still haven't seen any significantly shrinking sunsets that were non FE sources... Do you think ALL relevant sunset videos are being censored?

I understand that. I saw it with my own eyes over the Pacific but I don't live there anymore or I would try to film it for you.

Here is one that shows the dramatic shrinking of the sun:

So you don't trust Google/NASA, but you assert that their model of globe earth is accurate, even though it doesn't match previous renderings of the same.

Neither Google nor NASA has a model of the globe earth. All they did was borrow the map of the world that was created in the 16th century by the Spanish Empire at the height of its Catholicism, having just kicked all the (((those people))) out of Spain in 1492. They sent explorers all over the world and mapped the continents and major islands, and Google and NASA simply borrow the map that they produced.

Here is another one that shows how tiny the sun gets. By the end it's a mere fraction of the size it was at the beginning.

It's smaller and smaller even before it reaches the water (horizon line).

It's moving farther and farther away!

Also notice how the reflection on the water reaches all the way to the where the viewer is.

Even at the 24:44 mark the reflection reaches the viewer.

Now try to replicate that with a candle and a roll of paper towels in a dark room.

How high does the candle have to be for the light to reach the other side of the curve?
