Where ? I can't see anyone who has posted something over a curvature without seeing the curvature?
If the Moon absorbs all (almost all) radiation, we will not see light from it. If the Moon reflects all the radiation, the moon will look like a mirror. Does it look like a mirror?Ever heard of the concept that different materials have different absorption and reflective levels of light
Ever heard of diffuse reflection?If the Moon absorbs all (almost all) radiation, we will not see light from it. If the Moon reflects all the radiation, the moon will look like a mirror. Does it look like a mirror?
So, we are dealing with a surface (theoretically) that has an average light reflection coefficient (for example, like a metal ball). But there should be a glare on it. Where's the glare?
It doesn't matter. With diffuse reflection, there will also be bright bright area.Ever heard of diffuse reflection?
Because a rough object can be modeled as a collection of flat randomly oriented reflective surfaces, which pushes out the highlights out much further to the border. That model is called oren-nayar and is more accurate for terrestial objects than lambert. Obviously the moon would be a rough surface.If you look at the photos of the moon, it shines evenly. There are no darker and lighter areas on it.
None of what you said proves a flat earth. Call your friend in a different part of the world and ask them what sky they see, where the position of the moon is, where the position of the sun is. Then think to yourself, how could this be possible on a flat disk? Do we all live in our own little imaginary bubble?If you look at the photos of the moon, it shines evenly.

Is it similar?Because a rough object can be modeled as a collection of flat randomly oriented reflective surfaces, which pushes out the highlights out much further to the border.

Obviously, the dome is curved much less than in your stupid picture. And the distances between cities are much longer.None of what you said proves a flat earth.

Here is a hypothetical flat earth dome model with the moon circling around it. As you can see you in Moscow and your friend in Australia would see the SAME sky. Everyone would see the same sky the same stars the same daylight if the sun was rotating around up there over us. It's not a flashlight and will never act like a flashlight. This just isn't possible and anyone who believes this is delusional. So call up a friend across the globe tonight and ask them what they see in the sky.
If I went to space and I saw the earth as a sphere then off course I would know the earth is a sphere. How comes you didn't expand on your "flightt" going in a straight line? Was you lying?If a very rich person offered you a trip into space and around the Earth, would you acknowledge you were wrong, or would you still not believe your eyes?
Why does that matter? Everyone in the world would see the same sky albeit the moon would appear a tiny bit smaller for a lot of people, same for the sun as the distance would not be fixed like it is right now on the globe, so you'd have to believe in a fake imaginary world.Obviously, the dome is curved much less than in your stupid picture. And the distances between cities are much longer.
You are beyond ridiculous now please if you are going to have this debate atleast be logical.. In your little diagram of a domed earth those two people are very close so yes they would see the same skies but in reality the opposite side of the earth is thousands of miles away so you would see different skies because you cannot see forever.None of what you said proves a flat earth. Call your friend in a different part of the world and ask them what sky they see, where the position of the moon is, where the position of the sun is.

It shouldn't cost too much money to sail in a ship around the world. It's not like it has to be a luxury cruiser.If I went to space and I saw the earth as a sphere then off course I would know the earth is a sphere. How comes you didn't expand on your "flightt" going in a straight line? Was you lying?
These people are ridiculous to debate with, they can't understand simple stuff and can only see things from one perspective they are way too closed minded.For some reason you tell me that I ignore your arguments when I don't ignore them. Wtf.
And how does this tell me the earth is a sphere?It shouldn't cost too much money to sail in a ship around the world. It's not like it has to be a luxury cruiser.
If you end up in the same place you were before while traveling east or west, then you travelled in a circle.And how does this tell me the earth is a sphere?
1.this wouldn't even be possible just because of restrictions from governments preventing you from wanting to go in a exact path you want.If you end up in the same place you were before while traveling east or west, then you travelled in a circle.
Imagine a dome with a slight curvature (a few degrees) and huge distances between cities. You won't see constellations that are very far away from you. They will merge with the horizon.Why does that matter?
