Moon
The moon is a rotating sphere. It has a diameter of 32 miles and is located approximately 3000 miles above the surface of the earth.
You already asked thia in another thread of the same topic: http://forum.tfes.org/index.php?topic=5112And I never got a sensible answer then either!

There you claimed: "Under FET the moon is 3000 miles in altitude and disappears when it is 6000 miles away (2x its height), which means its not going to turn much."
No, the moon would disappear under FET when it was more like 8,800 miles away and when the moon would change through quite a large angle - near enough to 90°!
And we KNOW that photons travel in lines - I believe you said so.

I'd like to know how the face of the moon magically turns about at exactly the right speed so that it always faces the Earth on a globe. What balderdash!

It does look as though The Flat Earth Society has no idea on "how the face of the moon magically turns" so that everyone the half of the earth that can see the moon can see to same face in their Flat Earth model.I'd like to know how the face of the moon magically turns about at exactly the right speed so that it always faces the Earth on a globe.

One could just as easily say "I'd like to know how in a universe full of motionthe face ofthe moon magically does not turn at allturns about at exactly the right speedso that it always faces the Flat Earthon a globe. What balderdash!"
The simplest explanation is that the photons simply traveled in a straight line. This is a vastly more powerful explanation to the mental gymnastics the Round Earth scientists use to explain why a round earth looks flat.
the round or flat argument will continue forever as its neither..our reality is projected perception..quantum mechanics proves this..Yes, but quantum mechanics does not change our visual perception of anything. It does explains numerous observations though, right from Einstein's explanation of the "Photoelectric effect" (for which Einstein got his only Nobel prize) and Planck's work on black body radiation.

either that or a simulation ;)What matters is observation inside our sense, everyone that is seeing the Moon would see (almost) the exact same side and phase. Of course it's possible the Universe could be a simulation, but that is irrelevant, because we would just be inside a simulation discussing simulated things without being able to know what's the outside explanation.

We know that the moon shows almost exactly the same face to all observers, no matter where the are on earth or the position of the moon in the sky.
"the Wiki" describes the moon asQuote from: the WikiMoon
The moon is a rotating sphere. It has a diameter of 32 miles and is located approximately 3000 miles above the surface of the earth.
Some viewers see the moon directly overhead, others see it on the horizon.
These viewers would seem to be viewing completely different faces, yet we know that everyone sees the SAME face.
How is this possible?
I was under the impression that the moon looked different depending on which hemisphere you are in ... also the phases change in opposite directions ...Yes. Opposite direction, but still the same FACE. If the moon were as close to us as the Rowbotham model claims, observers in the southern hemisphere should be seeing the south-facing craters on the moon and not the north-facing ones.

Grade school analogy: if the moon is a face with its nose pointed at the equator, one hemisphere should be looking into his left ear while the other hemisphere looks into his right ear.
