Does the atmosphere solve “the problem of sunsets” on a flat Earth? FYTube



This is clip is meant to compliment the last video I posted called: Flat Earth and Atmospheric Magnification (short version): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWJdZXlPZb8

When I did my experiments showing how cities can be obscured at a distance due to magnification and refraction, I realized that the same test could be done on the sun and moon. This video highlights both tests and shows how it is VERY possible for the sun and moon to rise and set over a flat Earth thanks to the huge volume of tiny drops of water vapor that are contained in the atmosphere. Don’t believe me? Do the test yourself and see!

Obviously, the more moisture that is in the air, the larger the potential magnification would be. Likewise, when there is less (or no) moisture in the atmosphere, you would observe the sun and moon get smaller as they set (as we have seen in other videos).

  1. 7:13 this is not a valid comparison. What if you had taken a photo where the car was right next to the building and looked small, and then scaled the car UP to the size of the boat. Then the building is larger in the "close photo" and your "conclusion" would be that the atmosphere is acting like a convex lens that makes it look smaller. It doesn't make sense. This is not a valid way to measure magnification or the lack thereof.

  2. No. You know very little about optics. The 'magnification' that you showed by the pencil in the glass of water was caused by the shape of the glass(a cylindrical lens). Light is not always bent down by refraction.
