    • Yes, I've seen that.  It's not possible on a globe unless the Pacific Ocean stretched about 45% around the globe.

    I messed around with Google Earth a fair bit and am seeing the same result.  If you put California a bit over the darkened edge, most of Asia disappears into darkness, the Eastern Part of Russia, China, and much of India as well.

    • Yet another demonstrable and easily repeatable experiment.  And this article says it isn't even uncommon:

    "Last year, we confirmed an internet meme claiming 99% of the world’s population gets sunlight at the same time on July 8. In fact, this happens on a whole range of dates—but only around a specific time of day."

    Nice. Though with how brainwashed people still are with covid, vaccines and mask wearing... I can only pray that God will open their eyes. Even that sound of freedom movie is getting push back by pedo enablers. Flat earth is going to be much harder for them to accept.

    With FE, I don't care that much on a case by case basis. My friends are open to FE but aren't interested and I don't bother them.

    However, it'd be great if a lot of people started waking up because FE is incompatible with evolution, atheism, etc. It's a kind of shortcut to creationism.

    • Don't forget the part where they also included twilight as daylight. On a globe earth the twilight can extend much farther than what can be demonstrated with a common model globe and flashlight. Lots of variables are being thrown out.

    99% daylight means the globe earth is in the twilight zone.

    • I trust everyone is understanding this correctly because the video’s presenter erroneously claims that “99% of the world is lit up”. NO! 99% of the Earths population is seeing some form of daylight. This video is misleading.

    Did you even watch the video?  He's clearly aware of what's being spoken about.  He titled the earth at the appropriate angle, put California off one edge of the dark side, and then trace where the other dark side was.  Basically, the Eastern half of Russia, all of China, a most of India were all in the dark.  If at one point he said 99% of the world, it was a shorthand for 99% of the world's population.  I played with Google earth a fair bit and got the same results.  If you put California off into the dark, Eastern half of Russia, all of China, and most of India were squarely in the dark.  Unless the Pacific ocean covered at least 40-45% of the "globe" circuмference -- which it does not -- this would not be possible.

    Yes, I watched the video and some of his first words were “99% of the world is lit up”. By saying this in the beginning of the video, the bias resonates throughout. I really hate this debate because there is absolutely no reasonable working model of a flat Earth. NONE!

    Remember, when you fiddled around with Google Earth, just because the land     area is not visible, it does not mean it’s completely dark. What’s included in the *99% of the population in daylight* areas where it was dawn and twilight. This is why in the news clips in the video they showed the Earth on a flattened map not a globe. Below is a screenshot of the Pacific and Southern Oceans on Google Earth, as you can see, it covers over a third (35-40%?) of the Earth.

    • I watched this video 5 times. Notice how the presenter says at the 2:00 mark that he will put California in the dark. He actually puts the line of light on the edge of California where it meets the Pacific. Also notice how he doesn’t show South America. Now, go to the beginning of the video and see the news anchor showing the map of the flattened global Earth. See how around half of the US is not in complete daylight and that a good chunk of South America is also not in complete daylight? Notice how the presenter doesn’t outline the area that he lit up on the globe, but only the part of Asia he believes is in the dark? Notice how his light source doesn’t give degrees of semi lightness?

    It does nothing of the sort.  He was clearly talking about the inhabited landmasses being in the dark and not the oceans.
