Light on a flat earth would not ever have darkness...

Only if you believe the sun is 93 million miles away.

why would that matter... It takes 8 mins for it to reach us

Says who?
If you believe that the sun is 93 million miles away and you believe in the fixed speed of light then you will also believe that it takes 8 minutes for the light to travel from the sun to earth.

I will ask you again, what do you think the Sun is, and, how far away do you think it is?

The sun is the sun. I don't know how far away it is but I don't believe it is 93 million miles away - I believe it is much closer.
And the speed of light is not constant - science fixed it!!

lol ok i'll play...

You know the lights in the sky... theres two we call venus and mercury...

They're pretty steamy... but which would you assume is hotter?

So basically you just don't believe in science, not that you actually understand it.

I don't like to make assumptions - it is the mother of all f ups.
And you cannot know which is hotter unless you have believed someone.

Do you believe that the speed of light is constant?

a reply to: Itisnowagain

i see...

So Nothing we're shown by others is true...

that is walking the path of insanity... it happens when you delve way to far into conspiracy

It is the point where everything becomes a conspiracy... and thus a mental illness begins to take hold

i have a couple former friends with that affliction

Good luck with that my friend

Check online whether the speed of light is constant.

depending on the conditions... but for the most part its constant

especially in space

a reply to: Itisnowagain

The sun does not get close enough in the flat earth model to melt the ice wall or the centre ice.

yeah, how does that work when you have summers and winters in those regions either in complete darkness or complete light for an extended period of time?

The assumption is that someone has measured it in outer space. Has anyone been outside the earths atmosphere? This is questionable.

ah yes beliefs.

They do come in handy when we are talking faith.


The speed of things even light can be measured, there is no need for beliefs or faith.

Watch the video Akragon posted - it explains it on there.

Yes but the speed of light is not constant.
But science can pretend it is constant and use that figure to figure other stuff and come to wrong conclusions.
Mankind had faith in the speed of light being constant.

a reply to: Itisnowagain


No, it really doesn't.

NO the real questionable thing is have you and another poster in this thread ever been outside, just outside out of the basement or wherever you are guys seems to be imprisoned.

There is whole world of learning out there, you don't need to believe anybody and you can actually gain knowledge all on your own.

Yes, you have use what other discovered but doing this allows you to check that the discovery is correct.

If you learn something and understand it and find that the model used to describe something is slightly off and you have a better explanation then you have given a gift to the world.

Can you tell me how I can measure the speed of light so I can check it everyday? That way I will not have to believe or have faith.
And can I go into outer space and check the speed of light is more constant there?

No... it wasn't measured in outer space...

in fact it wasn't measured at all... its a mathematical calculation

Come on, you do not really think that that will be enough for him/her, do you?
