Flat Earth Theory / Re: Attempt to disprove the round earth to me.

I checked the FAQ and it still doesn't answer any of the questions that DuskHeybrid asked.

- It says seasons and daylights are there as the sun rotates above the earth like a spotlight but that doesn't makes sense. Even if the sun is further away to bring warmth to the southern hemisphere, it still would bring the same energy to the northern hemisphere which is not the case. So proves earth is a globe not flat.
- If there was no gravity and earth is just accelerating, the force would feel different if you were right at the equator or on the supposed edge of the earth which is not the case.

1) The sun follows a circle 'directly above' either the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn on the Solstices. This is the distance difference between Summer and Winter for each hemisphere. While I personally feel it must move faster in one than the other, the distance from the sun to the hemiplane DOES change for the seasons.
2) No. It wouldn't. UA vs. Gravity is not a fight either side wins based solely on Earth bound experiences, and Earth focused observations.

Your first point still doesn't make any sense for day and night. It feels like it should be daylight constantly!

You weren't asking about day/night. Most FE appears to 'solve' this by using a bastardized application of perspective that pretends trig doesn't work in the real world. Alternate options include bending space-time, and bendy light. Although those other two aren't well represented on this site.

I know but my point was that your point may make sense for seasons but it doesn't for daylight so the entire point is null and void as it explains only one thing and not for another so unless there are 2 suns..

Seasons and the day/night cycle are two different issues. Why would one answer have to solve both of them? Seasons are caused by the sun's 'orbit' around the North Pole moving in and out as it were. Day/night cycle is caused by what essentially amounts to choose your own adventure based on the model you're working with.

Well that is the issue right there. In a globe earth, earth tilt and rotation answers everythign you need for daylight and seasonal. Nothing super complicated and not making theories. Plus if you were to say season are caused by the suns orbit around the north pole, that would mean that the north pole would recieve constant sunlight so why would it have any snow or ice?

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Why?

See this is my point, no explanation just speculations and not good ones at that! If that was the case, they should stop the sale of telescopes with which anyone can see that other planet and stars are round which means earth is as well. Plus they should stop teaching astronomy to anyone so they can't conduct tests with which they can prove that the earth is round. I feel like and no disrespect here but Flat Earth believers just want to be different that is it! While science has proven without a shadow of a doubt that earth is round, Flat Earth believers use theory and speculations to fill in the massive gaps in their proof that earth is flat. As someone who is open minded, I would still stick with the globe earth theory because it was proven that it was round even before NASA was around or even the US, it was proven by the ancient Greeks and proven countless other times later on!

Flat Earth Theory / Why?

I have seen this question asked several times on the forum but nobody has ever answered it. What would NASA gain by hiding that the earth is flat? Plus before NASA, plenty of scientist proved that the earth is not flat.
