Hello. I will confess, I am not a flat earther, but I am very interested in learning why so many people do believe in the FET.
Here's my question: According to FET the sun and moon rotate above a flat disk that is the earth. What how does this model explain lunar eclipses, i.e. when the earth goes between the sun and moon and casts its shadow onto the moon.
Surely, if FET were true, this would not be possible. Yet we have thousands of years worth of evidence that it does happen. And, it is something that can be observed by everybody.
Thank you.
The simple explanation is :
(1) The earth is a globe and the "round earth" explanation is correct.
(2) The "flat earth" explanation is that some mysterious "dark object" comes between the sun and the moon and causes the eclipse. My guess is that this "dark object" is something like a gigantic black ping pong paddle that comes between the sun and the moon to cause eclipses. "Flat Earth" also says that this "dark object" is otherwise invisible because it is lost in the glare of the sun......or some other reason ?
(3) I am a confirmed "round earther", so hopefully some confirmed "flat earther" can give you a better explanation about lunar and solar eclipses...Sorry....That was the best I could come up with .
LOL
Welcome to The Flat Earth Society, the only source of all truth and knowledge on the (flat, of course) earth.
Every one else, they say....especially NASA....are nothing but satanic, satan worshipping liars.
Although at first they just blamed NASA only as the liars with their "blue marble painting to hide the fact that the earth is flat." NASA has a staff of artists to draw those "pretty pictures" of the so-called planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, etc. But I think they have gradually come to realize the fact that there are a few other countries that have Space Agencies besides the USA and NASA.
That goes for us poor ham radio operators, too.
We say we've done something called "Moon Bounce" and "bounced" radio waves off the moon (like radar, of course.)
We say we've measured the distance from the earth to the moon this way and it's approximately 238,150 miles and the moon is 2 ,150 miles in diameter.
"Flat Earthers" say we are either wrong , mistaken or just plain satanic liars. The moon is 32 miles in diameter and 3,000 miles from the earth (flat earth, of course.)
BTW & FWIW. The fe's also say the moon and the sun are the same size - 32 mile diameter - and distance - 3,00 miles. Since moon and sun travel at slighly diffferent speeds, how do they keep from bumping into each other ? That's MY question.
LOL
Stay tuned. There is much to learn about "flat earth."
