Hi, in this video I'll show one of the
inconsistencies of the Flat Earth model
with the dome and the sun circling
above it parallel to the surface which
is the most common model used to justify
the observations. I haven't found any
video on this particular topic
yet. According to flat earthers the Sun
sets because it gets too far away and
gets beyond our limit of the vision.
Another one of the their claims is that
the dome is what gives the sky its blue
color and it can be seen behind the sun
 and the moon. As we know, flat
earthers do not understand geometry or
3d space. Well maybe that's why they
think the earth is flat after all... So
let's see how the claims mentioned
earlier would actually look like. Here, in
this model, I have the equator ten
thousand kilometres from the pole and
the rim ten thousand kilometers from the
equator.  This is how the kilometer
was originally defined in the late XVIII
century. I will be working on the equinox.
First, let's take a look at this. It's a
flat plane with equator, the outer rim
and the Earth's pole. There is only one pole.
I'll focus on the equinox because it's
easier for the observations. Let's
enable the equinox's sun path. I'm
drawing the Sun 5,000 kilometers above
the earth because this is about 3,000
miles this, which is what most flat earthers believe.  I understand that not everybody
fits in that model but this is quite
accepted. If it's the
equinox, it's 12 hours day and 12
hours night. Let's set up a plane.
If we are staying in this point this
it could be a meridian in the globe this
part would be day and this part would
be night. That means that when the
Sun crosses that spot we stop seeing it. Let's show the Sun
in the sunset. Sun setting in the equinox.
That's the Sun and we're standing here in the equator.
Now, this distance from the equator to
the Sun it's the farthest we can see:
beyond that, we don't see the Sun because it's night. Let's get the segment...
This is a 3D segment from the equator
to the Sun. Let's see it from above...
from the equator we are in this
position towards the Sun and let's leave
it see it from the front so you see it's
a 3D segment.
That means that this is as far as we can see: we cannot
see further than that.
That's what flat earthers say. Let's make
a sphere with our center and this
radius and that is exactly how far we
can see. That's our
radius of visibility. Let's put
the dome... and here we see that if
the Flat Earth model was true we would
only see a very small part of the sky.
Most of the sky would be dark because
it's a way it's beyond our limit of
vision which is absolutely
ridiculous! That's how bad flat earthers
are at 3D modeling and 3D viewing on their
heads, they cannot do geometry at all!
Most of the sky would be totally black,
that's on the day, at night we would see
only stars on this area here.
Flat earthers, this is exactly
according to your model, please explain
it and please don't say "but then you
have to believe that light travels for
millions of kilometres". No. that's an
argument from incredulity and it's
irrelevant to the shape of the earth.
Just address this point: the Flat Earth
predicts a mostly black sky. One more
note, if you believe in Flat Earth due to
the religious beliefs, think about that:
does that mean that the creator of the
universe cannot make a spherical earth?
Or it's not possible that the creator
set up the universe that purely on
physics alone as he defined created the
earth?
Why are you limiting the creator's
powers and abilities? And how do you know that? Think about it.
