  • Those are clouds.  But believe what you want to believe.

    Wow.  Talk about what you WANT to believe.  Those mountains at Canagal are a known phenomenon, and it only happens on a few days of the year but it's consistent, and evidently just to mess with us God will create an outline with clouds (just during those times of the year) that happen to match the exact contour known contour of the mountains.

    This here is all the proof you need that some people just refuse to shake the programming from their cold dead brains, absolutely refusing to listen to reason and examine the evidence.

    You'd be much better off attempting to play the refraction card ...

  • Have you ever watched a plane that was flying overhead at cruising altitude (about 36000 ft)?  Did you watch it until it disappeared?  Did it get close to the horizon or did it disappear before that?  If the sun is about 3000 miles over the earth?  Do you think you would still see it? How far would it have to go to close the gap between the sun and the earth? These are serious questions to think about.

    I did a little geometry. 

    If the sun is 3000 miles above me and travels in a line parallel to the earth then in 3000 miles I could see as a 45 degree angle over the earth.  That means that there would be full sun in California and you would still see the sun on the East Coast.  Maybe my math is wrong.

  • Another thought.  How far are those mountains from where the person is standing?  If it is less than 3000 miles there is no way the sun would be lighting them up from behind, since the sun travels parallel to a flat earth.

    I am correcting this a little. During the 12 hour days the sun is rising in China as it sets on the East Coast.  We will choose a point 9638 miles away.  For it to be rising in one place and setting in the other the sun would be located at the half way mark between those two point.  Which is about 4800 miles.

    Right Scalene Triangle
    Side a = 3,000
    Side b = 4,800
    Side c = 5,660.38868
    Angle ∠A = 32.005° = 32°0'19" = 0.5586 rad
    Angle ∠B = 57.995° = 57°59'41" = 1.0122 rad
    Angle ∠C = 90° = 1.5708 rad = π/2

    This means that the Sun is 32 degrees in the air still and would still be visible in both places and not hit the horizon.

    For the sun to look like it is hitting the horizon then the sun would have to be about 250 miles over the earth. Maybe that is possible?

    Right Scalene Triangle
    Side a = 250
    Side b = 4,800
    Side c = 4,806.50601
    Angle ∠A = 2.981° = 2°58'53" = 0.052036 rad
    Angle ∠B = 87.019° = 87°1'7" = 1.51876 rad
    Angle ∠C = 90° = 1.5708 rad = π/2

    Just food for thought.

    So ... you've made it abundantly clear that you simply don't want to accept that the earth might be flat.

    1) that's just clouds (just blurted out without any evidence or analysis)

    -- yes, the exact same cloud formation that just happens to re-appear during about the same time window every year and each year just magically happens to follow the exact contour of the mountain range that just so happens to be in that same place.  You'd be more ready to believe that than than that the earth might be flat?

    2) I did some geomery ... and scrawling out some numbers that are not relevant to the specific example in the video "have you ever seen a plane?" ... reminding me of another poster's "have you ever seen a sunset?" nonsense

    -- yes, the geometry of earth curvature is well known, and there are calculators online (not created by FEs) that will calculate the "hidden height" of an object based on the elevation (above sea level) of the observer, the height (above sea level) of the target object, and the distance between the observer and the target object.  In the video, the numbers were run, and the entire mountain range should be hidden by at least 3,000 feet above the heightest peak, and it's clear that all but about 1,000 feet are visible (for which there can be many explanations, such as the topography between you and the target, ocean waves, atmospheric conditions, etc.).  What's interesting about this phenomenon is that the angle of the sun cuts through those atmospheric conditions that would normally block your ability to see the mountains from that far away.

    There's one example in particular which stands out.  There's a world-record long distance photograph (not sure if it still holds the record) of a light-house that stands about 250 feet above seal level (at the very top), and it was photographed from well over 200 miles away, when it should have been hidden by many miles of curvature on a globe.  Now, the photo was NOT taken by an FE, and the organization that certified it for the record were not FE either ... but neither the photographer nor the organization were even considering the implications of the photo vis-a-vis the FE question.  So this is independent evidence from objective third parties, which makes it special and impervious to debunking that it was faked by some FE.  Now given that it was from over 200 miles away and that the picture was extremely clear and detailed, this makes refraction absolutely impossible.  From 200 miles away, if the index of refraction due to changing (increasing) atmospheric density between miles 200 and mile 199 wasn't exactly the same as the index between miles 199 and 198, and then 198 and 197, etc. ... for the entire distance, if you had even slight variations in refraction rates at any point long the entire way, you'd have different images refracting into one another, causing the distortion you nearly always see in every true example of refraction, even from much shorter differences.  It's simply impossible to get a clear image via refraction from those distances.
