But the idea of gravity was never actually proven and a far more absurd idea scientifically.
then what is stopping you from jumping off a cliff, or a tall building?

or from floating into the fake sky-ceiling whenever you take a step?

mass, density, and temperature.
And you can say something is false when you dont really know but that doesnt change anything. You can say something is true that has not been proven but it does not prove anything.

sunset_20101201.jpg

sunset time-lapse by amateur photographer, without lens flare

note that the sun does not greatly reduce in apparent size, nor does it stay above the horizon ((as natural laws dictate that there is no such thing as sunrise or sunset if the earth is a disc with the sun revolving 3,000mi above its surface))

And sorry I am not drawing you a diagram. I cant draw on a chat box and theres a million links you could look at if you cared. And photons have nothing to do with it really. But go outside and watch cars drive down the road over the horizon and get smaller as they go as if I need to tell you that.

You showing me a sun go down over the horizon does not disprove that everything goes down over a horizon even if its a few miles away.

Also according to that picture the sun is going down at such an angle it should be night time for about 45 minutes and be morning again if it was round.

what effect does mass & density have on why you don't go jump off your roof?

go ahead and define "
buoyancy" for me. no reason to beat around the proverbial bush. i know the lies you swallowed.
tell me why an object of low density completely submerged in a high density volume experiences a pressure differential. draw me a force diagram and explain why a balloon doesn't remain at rest when i put it in the bottom of a water bath.

draw me that ray diagram.

if what you say is true, it should be no problem.

But if the earth was flat and your eyes played tricks like they do, that sun could be going directly downward and look like its going to a big angle because its at a distance. If you picture it not going at a angle at all you will be able to picture the idea of it going straight, spinning around us.

it sets at an angle dependent on the season and the latitude. this is very well known & explained.

what makes you think it's going to suddenly change direction and rise again in the west?
boy, Eric Dubay has you guys understanding all screwed up.

You cant draw on this chat box. Your diagram did just fine. And theres a million on the net you can look at yourself. I am not drawing it and that doesnt prove or disprove anything.

distance in the x-axis doesn't change the angle in the y-axis.

draw me that ray diagram. show me with clear, unassailable geometric proof that reality matches the pancake-planet model.

I never said that. You confuse me with somebody else. But I do think it will happen. Because the bible also says this. Also every civilization and religion on earth mentions it happening in a time when cultures were not yet connected.

I dont know what you mean about a ray diagram. I think you are confusing me with somebody else that you talked to.

if there are a million ray diagrams showing why an object at an arbitrary distance disappears over the edge of a perfectly flat plane, it shouldn't take you more than 2 seconds to call one up.

i suspect you're not drawing one because it's impossible and the moment you try to do it ((if you understand geometry at all)) it will become obvious what a joke this whole flat-earth thing is, and how God shows ever creature multiple times per day the truth - as the moon and sun rise and set.

use google drawings, free and easy. here's a link:

No as I said many times before, I am not drawing it because its impossible to draw on a chat box. I sent you a picture showing what I meant. And the fact you are not willing to look it up and demanding I do the impossible shows you are more set on winning the debate than logical exchange.

see how those train tracks are running into each other? it looks like they are getting closer together but they really are not. they look like they are getting smaller but they are really not. they look like they fall off the earth but they really dont.
i don't see them appear to be under the ground at any point.

how long does a perfectly level hallway have to be before the roof appears to be under the floor? because that's what you're telling me.

draw me the geometry. here's another free drawing website that you can use:
