If this is rubbish or already done please forgive this New Kid on this Block. But anyway I'm keen to do an experiment with two stakes positioned a known distance apart. Then measuring the length of the shadows late in the afternoon and more imporantly the distance the shadow ends are apart. Why? by using trig rules , angle and length of one side it would be possible to calculate the distance of the sun or center point from the ground.
(I did have this posted in my profile but moved to here to free up some space on my profile page. Still learning my way around. I've literally never posted like this before online except for YouTube comments).
Can't you figure out the height of the sun with the sun light that shines from it,the triangle it makes, once I learned we are on a disc like plane with some kind of sphere shaped firmament, you notice the sun rays a lot more,they make a triangle or pyramid shape almost
We should just fly a plane toward the sun and see what happens, but use pilots that think the earth is a globe.
According to a very well done truth exposing website thenarrowgateweb.com, the sun is approx. 3500 miles away and about 36.8 miles in diameter (around noon near the equator).
Exactly, two or more people on a conference call across the fruited plain could do this with broom handles and a level. I'd imagine everyone's altitude must be equal?
Bud (episode 83) talked about this on the podcast. About two-thirds of the way through his episode. He has done the pythag theorum calculations between Togo and Guayana, 2 countries a little more than 4000 miles apart. Bud figured out the angle of the sun and therefore its size and height between these 2 countries (both on the equator). Bud says the sun is therefore approx 3400-3800 miles above us, and is 32 to 25 miles wide. This goes for the moon, too.
Two people with cellphones and broom handles living in northern and one in southern hemispere. Through a video call, they could show their results. And the calculations could be made. I live in Georgia, USA. We need someone in Santiago, Chile. That's about the same latitude on the southern portion. Any Santiagons on here capable of doing this experiment?
I have been thinking about this too. I think you could really do it with one pole. Then, track the shadows movement, measuring at intervals, and marking the times of day. We know the suns approximate location at any given time of day near the equator. It wouldn't be 100% exact, but it would be very close. Need a level ground to prevent distortion too.
Whenever I don't know what is going on, then I just put a bunch of sticks in the ground, look at their shadows, and use trigonometry to describe all of existence! Works great folks! Just doesn't work under water!
You have to assume in FE model the height of the sun is unchanging relative to flat plane; Is there anything that suggests this, aside from crude diameter measurements?
You have to assume it stays at the same height relative to the flat plane... But i have issue with this becasue at sunrise and sunset, you can SEE light shining UPWARDS illuminating the BOTTOM of the clouds.
So i can't back this experiment. If the sun appears lower at the bookends of the day, who's to say it isn't rising all the way up a bit until noon? How is this "physically possible" when we are all located different places at our own local "noons"?
The sun and the moon are weird, folks. If this is a flat earth, the sun is not a physical object. It's gotta be some kind of reaction reflection, interacting with our eyeballs, kind of like a lense flare or something not really there.
What do you guys think?
Man thanks so much for the support and encouragement. We are all Truth seekers. Thanks again!
I LOVE people who have the tenacity and courage to perform these kind of experiments! Reminds me of the guy that did the Bedford level experiments! People that expunge any thought of “flat earth” never want to explore these things! Go for it, brother!
Yup! Go for it - this should work! I'd love to hear the result. The farther apart your stakes are, the more accurate the result will be. You also should be able to find other's results for this too.
Some have communicated across continents doing something similar, measuring at the same time of day.
