Instead of relinking the same youtube videos, and trying to make us as youtube smart as they are, I wish they could put out a working model of their flat earth. Instead of trying to establish proof of concept with a working model, they just try to poke holes in the accepted scientific models that we use today. You are right Neil, I would like to hear about their research moon phases, gps, Antarctica, why flight times wouldn't work on flat earth models. While we wait for the flat earth version of Bill Nye to draw up a youtube video, you'll be accused of working for NASA, and we'll all see, Ad Hominem attacks, non-sequitur connections, and the burden of proof be perpetually reversed on the globe earthers.
.
Flat-earthers will never come up with a working model that explains what we see in the sky.
.
The courses the sun and moon make across the sky do not jive with their defective hypothesis.
.
The phases of the moon, observed from various places on the earth, describe a spherical earth, not "flat."
.
The next quarter moon occurs tomorrow morning at 5:27 am in the Pacific time zone (PDT).
.
Therefore both the sun and moon will be visible in the sky at that time in the Eastern USA and in the Central time zone, but not in the Mountain or Pacific time zones.
.
Tomorrow morning at 8:37 am Eastern Daylight Time and at 7:37 Central Daylight Time everyone there can see the Last Quarter moon high in the sky with the sun having risen in the east at 7:05 am.
.
All you need to do is measure the angle between the sun and the moon at that time.
.
You don't need a fancy apparatus to get a very close approximation.
.
If you try to do this in Mountain or Pacific time, it will be later when you can see the sun after sunrise, and the moon's angle to the sun will be a little bit less since the time of the quarter phase will have just passed before the sun rose.
.
It makes no difference whether you are in northern Canada or South America, if you're in those time zones you'll see the
same moon phase.
.
In fact, from all over the earth, everyone sees the same moon phase at the same time
.
If the earth were "flat" you would
not be seeing the same moon phase from those diverse places.
.
Two weeks ago was an ideal opportunity for everyone in the USA to observe both sun and moon when the moon reached the First Quarter phase.
.
This quarter moon event is a very important time for learning about the relative distances from earth to moon and from earth to sun.
.
Flat-earthers have time and again shown that they have no interest whatsoever in learning this truth.
.
They refuse to pay attention, and they have no idea what they're missing (unless they're deliberately trying to deceive others).
