I'm not accusing you of trickery, I presented what your test might look like as a scientific experiment. I asked you if that's where you are taking it. I'm just looking for clarity. Unfortunately, you are not one to answer basic questions with basic answers! I'll look into this. I'm not...

I can't try it this exact moment (no sun here - it's on the other side of the globe/disk :wink: ), but I imagine the shadows easily wouldn't be the same length of each other. Are you by chance setting up to propose this following experiment? Hypothesis: If earth is a globe (If X), then poles...

What makes you call it an absurd myth?

I wouldn't know, I haven't performed a test on it. Have you? Or have you perhaps read someone's supposed test results? Might the answer depend on the size and location of the sun and poles?

What are these "common basic observations"? Are you perhaps referring to the one @HealthyShape refers to, being the Earth's shadow cast on the moon, revealing the Earth's spherical shape?

Look, we've already got @HealthyShape thinking the shadows on the moon are from the earth. NASA disagrees with him. People believe easily. So easily, it didn't even take NASA to convince him on that astrological issue. One statement from authority holds a lot of power to people who believe...

It's unfortunate you ignored some great questions. So it's more than just a $25B industry, got it. More money to be made. So they have you believe. So they have you believe. Which is possible. Perhaps money and power by deception. :IDK:but you don't need to be satisfied in order for it to...

Please stop avoiding the question. :laughing: Did God put a lying spirit in a man?

It wouldn't make a difference to you knowing you were paying your government to lie to you about where you live? Perhaps that attitude is what allows that scenario to happen to begin with.

NASA was funded about 25 billion dollars last year. $25,000,000,000.00 This government funding is justified if they're out exploring looking for spaceballs and whatever else they're telling us is out there. Money is a potential incentive for an elaborate hoax. Not everyone would need to know...

But you will go into the rabbit hole of the absurd theory where the moon crescent is supposed to be by the Earth's shadow? :laughing: Where has there been poor reasoning? Show it. And show what proper reasoning would have looked like in comparison. It's more likely you've been met with solid...

I've often wondered that while growing up. "If I see both the sun and the moon, what's China seeing right now?" :funlaugh2

Even NASA themselves declare the only time Earth's shadow affects our view of the moon is during a lunar eclipse (Even that is questionable). Are Moon phases caused by shadows from Earth? No. The only time Earth’s shadow affects our view of the Moon is during a lunar eclipse. [science.nasa.gov]...

(Notice the fallaciously circular reasoning - we know because we know) Or, because you're assuming it. When you can't see the sun at night, you can't see it. So are you assuming it's whereabouts after that? You interpret your moon shadow one way, but I don't see you refuting the other...

:laughing: So it's, "How do you know?" "Because we know". Is the right side of the moon brighter than the center in that picture? If so, why? How do you know it isn't smaller and more local, and just disappearing because it's moving away from you and over the people in the other time zones?

How do you know this? Perhaps most people just assume it.

I'm not having a conversation about nothing. So you can't follow me down a "rabbit hole of useless conversation about nothing". I have, and it lead me here.

Okay, what's this supposed to mean? And why haven't you answered my question? Perhaps you were never qualified to say "ANYTHING curved is an example of the curvature of the earth."

In this photo, how do you know the sun isn't positioned on the right side of the moon, and the 'shadow' is just from the right side of the moon blocking the left side from getting sun? Is the right side of the moon brighter than the center?

But two balls and a light in my experiment isn't the sun moon and earth. It might not be so much my lack of understanding, but maybe you're assuming (or requiring) a certain position of the sun in order to make your model work. So you're here to spread dogma about the globe earth theory...
