A "great video"?? Uh, no.cayenne wrote:
Yes, I am going to send a video, as you did not say who you wanted to explain the sunrise/set with. The man in this video does a fine job, and I hope you watch it. I have a feeling from experience in other subjects with people that you have made up your mind the flat earth is 100% garbage, and therefore it would be a waste of all of our time to walk you through things. It is more efficient to defer you to someone else who has already done great work in a video (and giving them some good credit), and if that does not cause you to question even 1% than indeed walking you through it would waste everyone's time. (key point you did earlier was mocking, even if it was supposedly done in harmless fun, it is that exact behavior I have dealt with for years from various people that lets me know you (like them) are 100% against whatever we are discussing)

As has already been pointed out, nothing was level or flat. All it did was prove the scenario had an angle to it, or that the earth is curved. Do you see the same problem with how he made his video?
Another thing to note, and something I suspect other flat earth vids will share, the sunrise is behind clouds. I'll tell you why- it makes the sun look smaller. Watch some real videos of the sun rising or setting and you'll see that the sun never changes size from sun-up to sundown. If the flat earth model were true, the sun would start out small because it's further away, at it's peek it would be largest, then it would start to get smaller until it disappears or sets. The same principle exists when a car is coming towards you from a far distance. It starts small then gets bigger as it goes past you, then it gets smaller and smaller until it disappears. Of course, if the earth were flat then you could get a telescope and follow it even further. That's an issue isn't it? The sun sets or disappears at the same time no matter if you have a telescope or not. Do you see this as a problem with the flat earth theory?
Ever been on a cruise?? Why is it that after so many miles you can't even see the mountains anymore? Do telescopes cease to work when looking parallel? No, it's because of the curvature of the earth. That's why you can't see Hawaii from California, but you can see Saturn's rings. Heck, you should be able to see the Tetons from Nebraska. But you can't because the earth has a curvature.
Do you see the same flaws in the video or do you take it as being credible? If it's credible then walk me through it. I'm game.
