Title: Astronomy debunk: The sun is clearly moving away
Post by: İntikam on July 11, 2016, 06:39:53 AM
Hello everybody,

After a short holliday i was at, we are together with the reality again.

Today we'll see how is the sun moving away and how is the popular science / fake astronomy a tomfool.

These images from a video while sun is setting.

This is the first one.

(https://i.imgsafe.org/33e214abc1.png)

A few minutes or hours later. (We don't know what the video x speed) Same sun and same location.

(https://i.imgsafe.org/33e7500f6f.png)

We see the sun as significant shrunken. Compare two suns before sunset and while sunsetting.

(https://i.imgsafe.org/33edfe1492.png)

I wonder which idiotly science will try to explain this situation with what?  ;D

The video on the below you can find out these pictures on it.

Yeah man yeah. There is no way out for fake/popular sciencers. There is an easy way to explain it with Flat Earth theory by perspective. But most of known rounders explanation of "perspective" is not working now. :D

I find out another good video shows the sun is clearly shrunken while moving away with different examples.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h0xo44zeHs

How is it possible if the sun is 93 zero zero zero zero zero zero miles away? Do not force your mind, It is impossible.

Inti, I haven't the foggiest what you may have posted here (I've ignored you), but I can't help but notice no one has responded but you.
If I had to guess, this is because no one wants to waste precious time and bandwidth responding when they are on your ignore list. And last I checked, every RE'er here is on that list. If you want someone to talk to, consider growing up, unignoring us, and not treating every counter-argument as a personal insult. Then maybe you'll not find yourself so lonely.

Just some random input from RandomInput.

You can not make me curiosity. i'm thinking in this case you do not like it, and it is possible you are thinking about me i don't like it.   I am the owner of high character on the contrary of the almost all rounders here. This situation don't effect my motivation. if somebody wish to read my posts and get an answer for discussing , must to act principled. because ;

"I do not write to change the mind of those who don't think like me. I write because of just they have to know they are not alone who thinking like me." I do not need anyone 's advice . I know what to do where . So this is not a loss for me none of rounders reply me. It is not my problem. Which rounder want to discussing me should act principled and respective. I have a right to choose which people i want to discuss or not. My act is same with the real life. If i want to debate with someone i like, i do it; if i don't want to debate with anoyne, i don't do that. I listen to music plug in headphones or turning my back, or directly saying "i don't care what are you thinking", or going out of there. I'm acting here how i act on real life.

Unprincipled and disrespective actions caused this situation. Yes i'm happy for this. What a happiness that i'm only adressed to "real human". Look. Nobody now can not disrespect me , and do not attack like savages . this allows me to do my work more regularly . and find more time. I think somebody feels it is a kind of torture for you. This is not my goal but I am not sorry for it. I'm really curious rounders how to resist .

If you carry the banners  about "intikam forgive us " maybe it works, or maybe does not  ;D

I remind the meaning of my nickname intikam is "revenge". This is one word summary of the "an eye for en eye, and a tooth, for a tooth" is on my signature since when i came the fe's forums. So i'm 100% persentage consistent about this matter.

Revenge (intikam) delayes , but does not give up .

"Unprincipled and disrespective"
While some were indeed rude to you, others, at least myself, did not intend to be rude. In fact, you elected to ignore me because I said you shouldn't ignore people for having different opinions in the debate forum. One could even stretch to say that I claimed your actions to be in and of themselves, unprincipled. And yet I found myself promptly ignored, which I can say is disrespectful to both myself, and the debate forum.

Aside from that, you say Intikam means revenge. You signed on with that name, with suggests either your presence itself is vindictive in nature, or that you intended to be terribly rude to anyone here who slighted you. The latter, of course, being the worst since it implies you came here with the intent (retaliatory or not) to be disrespectful to those of us here.

Don't condemn us for not adhering to principles you yourself never intended to follow.

I'm getting to risk with unignore you. Because when i do that, the person unignored usually triying to do aggressive something. When i see you are persistently writing something, i chosed to "show me the post" now, because as you see that actually i have not a great problem with you, and see you are right a bit. But not completely. I didn't ignored you but respect but i have a right to wait to respect to my decisions. Actually you did a critism, but when you do that, you said a lie that i ignored that only caused by they are rounders. This is not true. I give points to everyone on my mind, and decide about him good or bad. There is a lot of factor effects the decide and to be a rounder just one of them. To be a rounder don't cause to be ignored. To be ignored need at least one of the following except to be a rounder, saying lie, disrespecting, quote instead of anyone, wantonness, rudeness, etc. I ignored you not for others but not for only you are a rounder. It's caused by you said "lie"  when you said that i ignored them for they are rounders. No, i did not ignored for they are rounders, its caused by a few reasons  with they are be rounders. Now you learned why. hereafter, I hope you respect to my decisions .

My expectation is you talk about the issue, not about my  decisions.

My expectation is you talk about the issue, not about my  decisions.

Just "What"  is your issue ? Or what is the issue with your decisions ?

Your first post had to with not seeing stars in pictures. It was that this was just a simple case of camera lens settings and film characteristics resulting in the stars not showing up in the pictures. This has been explained in great detail already. , I would suggest you talk to someone in a  camera club if you don't understand photography.

But........
If you are just a troll, well Bah Humbug ! to you.!!!!!

But if you DO  have an issue, if you will explain IT , I will be glad to talk with you about IT.
Just for your information , the earth is a globe and stars do exist. Some of us in the real world know that and work on a "round earth" 24/7 and I am afraid that we think The Flat Earth Society might be  just one more "spoof" website.......There are many of them. They are fun if you don't take them seriously.

This is not to say that there are a lot of good informative and educational websites on the internet.

So.....What's the issue ? Let's talk it over.

If you are just a troll...CHILL IT !  If not I have some to time talk to you about your "issue" but I have come to the conclusion lt might just be just a waste of time......Yours and mine and space on the internet.

Let me make an apology. Some of us, especially us "round earthers" are snobs. Because most of us are reasonably well educated and reasonably well informed we tend to look down on "flat earthers" as just stupid or ignorant. But maybe they just haven't had the advantages that we have had.

I once heard of a student who thought one of his Professors was a snob since the Professor looked down his nose on his students since they didn't know as much as he knew.
The Quote : When this student attended University ....." I studied ****** at****** University under the snobbish****** ****."

Hello!... 

Is there any rounder has self-confident?  :D

Yes, but you ignored them all...

As for your videos:

Congratulations, you have successfully proven that clouds/smog/refraction can obscure the sun, especially very close to the horizon. Get a decent filter to block the glare, then try again on a clear day.

So there are claims that the sun changes in size! I really do not think so!

These photos are part of a Flat Earth video, taken on Malaga Spain 9/Mar/2016: (https://youtu.be/HrS87lS67wA)

He did an excellent job of proving that the sun size does not change!

On the Flat Earth with the sun at around 5,000 km altitude, the distance to the sun varies a huge amount from when it is overhead to when it sets. The Wiki explains this as
Quote from: the Wiki
Magnification of the Sun at Sunset
Q. If the sun is disappearing to perspective, shouldn't it get smaller as it recedes?

A. The sun remains the same size as it recedes into the distance due to a known magnification effect caused by the intense rays of light passing through the strata of the atmosphere.

But these photos were taken through a filter to remove the glare, and most are quite sharp. In any case for "magnification effect caused by the intense rays of light passing through the strata of the atmosphere" to keep the size so close if very hard to accept.

I believe that it has to be accepted that the sun does not change size appreciably during the day.
Even the slight reduction in height that I (and Matrix Decode) measured at sunset is expected from refraction near the horizon.

I must express my thanks again to Matrix Decode for his excellent work!

The sun is part of a reflection, a daemon in a figure of a screen that show us a sun which we don't know what exactly this sun.
the sun could be the size of an ant. but the most important thing is that everybody has a distinguish frequency his sighting works on,
and he see a big screen 40-50 meters ahead of him and what he sees is a reflection of the agenda and the will of the human beings in this world.
the sun is just a reflection of our mind, it could rise it could get down it could blown away its all about our wishes of the world.
This a daemon which erected on our sighting which show us the sun, but it is only a reflection, a "mirage" not a real thing.

What about you discussing something about the substance of a thread instead of silly useless comments.

The thread is about "The sun is clearly moving away" or at least appearing to as it gets further away.

I do believe we have demonstrated that the apparent size of sun stays substantially the same size all day, with possiby a small reduction in height near sunset.

What are your thoughts, or are you still straddling the fence - doesn't it get a little painful?

I consider myself a fairly intelligent person. I am no genius.My last IQ number was only 135 and that was several years ago.
But with all the known and readily available information about the sun  I find it incredible that any reasonably intelligent and sane person would post the things in your post.
I doubt even the most ardent flat earth believer would agree with them either.
Can you cite the source for your information on your post ?
Or are you just another sceptimatic  ? LOL ?

You signed on with that name, with suggests either your presence itself is vindictive in nature, or that you intended to be terribly rude to anyone here who slighted you. The latter, of course, being the worst since it implies you came here with the intent (retaliatory or not) to be disrespectful to those of us here.

Don't condemn us for not adhering to principles you yourself never intended to follow.

I think it's pure nonsense and I haven't the foggiest why anyone should post the stuff that we see from intikam.

Well.........to be honestly truthful......and not using the word "truth" in jest.....I haven't the foggiest why anyone would even say they think that they believe in this flat earth nonsense. ?

But to be honest, you didn't want to debate the first bit and I honestly didn't understand your point about the lasers.

I mean the laser effect and the sun effect have no difference with regard to "where they are really exist.".

To understand what i mean lets look to first image:

(https://i.imgsafe.org/b5a9a48196.png)
Where is the source of the laser beam? The point of which i marked with red circle, is'int it? "The source of beams placed where the intersection  points of laser beams"

Now lets look the second one:

(http://forum.tfes.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5191.0;attach=794;image)

The sun is placed on where the intersection points of sunlight rays.

In my opinion there is no difference.

I don't think about you are a rude. You are not. I think it was a misunderstanding between us, i'm sorry about it. As you know that i have no so good english caused by it is hard to find a good and reliable teacher in Istanbul to teach good and practical english.  :)

Hi,

When you say "Where is the source of the laser beam? The point of which i marked with red circle, is'int it? "The source of beams placed where the intersection  points of laser beams"

No it isn't, the lasers are behind the photographer (see the green writing on the page), so the beams fan out towards you and then shrink away from you, to show that it is just a perspective effect.

Rude of me, apologies.

But to be honest, you didn't want to debate the first bit and I honestly didn't understand your point about the lasers.

I mean the laser effect and the sun effect have no difference with regard to "where they are really exist.".

To understand what i mean lets look to first image:

Where is the source of the laser beam? The point of which i marked with red circle, is'int it? "The source of beams placed where the intersection  points of laser beams"

The sun is placed on where the intersection points of sunlight rays.

In my opinion there is no difference.

I agree that the sun is definitely at the intersection point of the rays.

Here's the problem: how far away is that intersection point? How can you tell? Please try to calculate the distance to the intersection point based on the angle of the lasers in the photograph. Is it possible?

(Hint: it isn't possible. It could be one foot away. It could be a billion feet away. The same is true with the sun's rays.)

This first one has a source that near to us:

But the second one isn't.

(http://forum.tfes.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5191.0;attach=794;image)

Calculate the angels of the rays, they seems like same the otherselves. But we see they are so different.

The first one; the rays coming to up to us. But if he stay at top point, the intersection point directly shows where is is stay. on. Yes this caused by perspective.

Hi Inti’
Try this;

 
You have 3 clouds, a,b, & c.(see sunrays1)

When you see the shadow from “a” it reaches the ground between you and the sun.
“b” & “c” are between you and the sun but their shadows caused by the parallel rays’ land behind you, if they were slightly to the left and right of “a” what the eye would see would be…(sunrays 2)
 
The sun rays you see are the gaps made by parallel light making shadows.

I'm thinking that the act of "to see" is more reliable than your estimated in nature. Because we have "two" eyes for check the distance. I'm sure you know what causes we have the second eye? It's working to estimate the distance and size of the objects. First one sees the object as 2d without size and distance, and second one coverts it to 3d object has distance and size.

So the rays, or clouds, or moon, or sun, the result is not so different what your eyes estimated.

(http://i.imgsafe.org/1902ac2e72.png)

One eye sees the object but can't estimate it's size and distance. But with two eyes, the brain estimates them. human brain is more intelligent than your estimate.

I know I am butting in, but i dare not reply to . . . . . when he is "talking" to you. I hope I am forgiven.

As you say the eye can easily be fooled and binocular depth perception is only useful up to a few tens of metres.

Estimates vary, but these references seem certainly to agree that it is useful only over short distances:
Binocular depth discrimination and estimation beyond interaction space. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19271880).
Stereoscopic perception of real depths at large distances (http://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2191614).

No-one suggests that our binocular vision could estimate the distance to clouds. Maybe he will read this, maybe not.

Do you know why do we say the sun is about 3.000 miles altitude?

We are calculating an angle from city A and another angle from city B. Then we calculate the distances around the cities. So the distance and the size of the sun occurs. It is same method with see of the two eyes.

no wrong in our eyes , and in our measurements.

Try 5 locations!

Something that no Flat Earther seems to take seriously is that the answer you get depends entirely on what spacing you take the measurement over.  For example at an equinox, if one observer is on the equator and the other observers are on the same longitude and at various latitudes, we get the following figures for sun height.
Latitude    Ground Distance    Sun Elev    Sun Height
30.0°
2,071 miles
60.0°
3,587 miles
45.0°
3,107 miles
45.0°
3,107 miles
60.0°
4,142 miles
30.0°
2,392 miles
75.0°
5,178 miles
15.0°
1,387 miles
Note that these are purely calculated figures, based on a globe earth.  What is needed is some keen Flat Earthers living in suitable locations to actually measure these angles on the real earth to see what agreement there is.

The height you get for the sun depends entirely on how your long your baseline is!

This working done about 6 months - 1 years ago. So probably had a bit mistake. But if i do it again nowadays i'm sure i'll do it better.

(http://i.imgsafe.org/4313732cec.jpg)

This is a Turkish working shows the method.

(http://i.imgsafe.org/43244d41a2.png)

These are some calculations.

And the last one is the result as kilometres.

(http://i.imgsafe.org/4325bc6389.png)

As you see that i calculated it about 5.500 kilometres. If we changes to miles  it converts to 3417.5 miles.

If you say that this calculation not reliable, so we can calculate it online by step by step.

This calculation made with method the earth pre accepted as a curve. There was a working as the earth pre accepted as flat but the result is not so different. It doesn't make a big sence if the chosen cities  are not so far.

I noticed that only one of your results was 5500 km. Your results ranged from 3300 km to 7000 km depending on the time of day.

Here is the problem: the math assumes the sun is directly between the two cities. However, both cities (Ankara and Istanbul) are North of the Tropic of Cancer, so it is impossible for the sun to ever be between them.

You need to take into account both the sun's azimuth and altitude (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth). Your current calculations only take into account the sun's altitude. This is why you are getting random values.

I don't think that's the true problem.  He has numbers which appear to be time stamps in column B.  In the morning he has angles greater than 90 degrees for angle "a", which means the math should get him good lengths for legs X and Y.  The (first) problem is, lengths X and Y are not the sun's height, they are the distance at an angle.  It is easy enough to calculate height from those numbers, but he didn't finish it.  The bigger problem is that, as you mention:

His method could work, but only at one specific time of day: whenever it happens to be that an observer at the city farthest from the sun is looking directly at both the sun and the other city.  Only at that moment do the angles from earth to the sun form a triangle in the vertical plane.

Correct on all counts. My bad. I actually noticed that he didn't project X and Y vertically, but I figured one problem at a time was enough...

These images from a video while sun is setting.

This is the first one.

A few minutes or hours later. (We don't know what the video x speed) Same sun and same location.

We see the sun as significant shrunken. Compare two suns before sunset and while sunsetting.

Math calculation should only follow from given empirical data. We don't have to assume that the earth is a globe at the start. How can one prove or get the correct sun's distance if the initial assumption is a global earth.

This is how you test if a model is incorrect:

1. Assume model is correct.
2. Make a prediction based on the model.
3. Compare prediction with real world observation.
4. If the predictions are wrong, the model is probably wrong.

When assuming the earth is flat, the predictions are consistently wrong. When assuming the earth is a globe, the predictions are consistently correct.

Sun's 3D rays and angles cannot be measured in real time with a 2D photo or vision from a person. What looks like a ray going out to the right, could be angled towards you or away from you in reality, usually towards you. Not knowing where the hole or holes in the clouds are also creates a problem. There are many pictures taken in forests which show similar divergent rays, yet the sun is not located 100 yards behind the tree as the angles may infer! Even pictures taken inside a dust filled room with sunlight coming in can show clearly diverging rays, so you cannot use this to locate the sun's position.
