Moon shadow laser NONSENSE - Flat Earth confirmed
« on: April 12, 2024, 06:15:51 PM »
I can't believe how they repeat a lie early and often, to try to convince us it's true.

"Lie big or go home!" is their philosophy. Most good people, who can't conceive of such satanic boldness, assume they CAN'T POSSIBLY be lying about something so fundamental -- that they would never lie that BIG.  ...Would they?

They would.

Look at the picture on the bottom. That is REALITY. You can do it yourself, at home, in a minute or two. Just get a light source, a ball of some kind, and a globe. Read 'em and weep.

I understand they can't prove gravity at small scale, or "molecules to man" evolution, or random chance creating information/new features in a creature, or pressurized air without a container, the motion of the earth, the curvature of the earth, etc. Most of the Globe Earth model they can't prove at all. They basically say "trust us!".

But THIS is merely the behavior of light, spheres, bodies, basic physics. This SHOULD be demonstrable at small scale. This should take up little space or materials, it should be very cheap and easy to demonstrate. They should be able to SHOW US this with actual, physical models and lights. Not a CGI cartoon where they could have anything happen -- why not have a basic, physical model set up to demonstrate this alleged behavior?

Nowhere in human experience or reality do 2 bodies and a light source cast pin-point focused shadows like this. As a matter of fact, the exact OPPOSITE happens. The shadow would spread out with increased distance. So the further the "earth" was behind the moon, the LARGER the moon's shadow cast on the earth would be.

This is all made-up nonsense to salvage the Globe model. People are SO trusting of authorities! They distrust their own senses, and trust some liars who have been proven to lie again, and again, and again. It's sad.

These few are apropos.

Do you get it yet? This isn't about "trusting" Flat Earthers. This isn't something you can fake. Something anyone can observe, in reality, with common sense, CAN'T BE FAKED or a hoax.

A shadow can never be smaller than the object casting the shadow. Larger, yes. But when the obscuring object (e.g., the moon) is right up against the surface being "shadowed" -- as far from the light source as you're going to get -- it's always 1:1. Try it yourself.

All Flat Earthers are doing is playing the role of the little boy who said, "The Emperor hasn't on any clothes at all!" You can call him names -- but how about debunk what he's saying? It's clear that the Emperor is buck naked. The little boy is right.

That one about the angle of the sun's rays is absolutely conclusive for me.  By the time the sun's light reaches the earth, it would be about 99.99% parallel (or something like that, as I've looked it up).  Also, if the sun's rays were coming in at an angle, that would invalidate the highly-vaunted Eratosthenes experiment.  But the globers like to maintain both contradictory theses at the same time, yet another example of their intellectual dishonesty.

If the sun's rays come in parallel, as heliocentric globe earth math requires, the shadow of the moon would be roughly the size of North America (as models demonstrate).

Also, eclipses absolutely should NOT move from West to East, but rather from East to West, on the heliocentric globe model.  They should move from West to East on an FE model, however.  Quo keeps bloviating about the lack of an FE "model" ... except that the evidence and observations fit better with an FE model while invalidating the globe model.

Lots wrong with these posts, but I think the quickest and easiest to point out is the picture of a model eclipse experiment with model moon, flashlight and model globe. So... the moon is only 2 lunar diameters distant from the earth? So much for intellectual honesty.
