Burj Khalifa Sunsets Explained On The Flat Earth
So if the earth is Flat, why does the sun set two minutes sooner at the bottom of the Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world), and two minutes later at the top?
http://gizmodo.com/5917230/did-you-know-that-the-burj-khalifa-is-so-tall-that-you-can-watch-two-sunsets-on-the-same-day
Doesn't this imply curvature?
This is a compelling observation that seems at face value to call Flat Earth Theory into question. I'd like to explain how this phenomena actually works, given the fact that society always swallows "cuz curvature" as the magic explanation explaining everything involving the visible horizon.
Basic observation of phenomena across nature support the idea that the earth is Flat. Sunsets observed from the tallest building in the world are no exception. In case you are new to the claims of Planar Theory let me briefly explain: [url=https://flatearthandthought.com/2017/01/17/question-how-do-daynight-cycles-and-seasons-work-on-a-flat-earth/]the sun is smaller and much closer to the surface of the Flat Earth, and orbits above its surface.[/url] Three dimensionally this picture captures the relation of the sun to the earth (though greatly exaggerated in terms of proportion). The sun "sets" because it recedes from view. Imagine a car driving away on a perfectly flat road. Eventually, you no longer see its head lights. This is essentially what happens on the Flat Earth as well. Also, due to Variable Luminosity, the sun does not emit light equally in all directions and acts more as a spot light. When one takes these factors into consideration, the time difference in sunsets makes sense on the Burj Khalifa: observers on the top floor are closer longitudinally to the sun. The sun's rays reach them a fraction sooner than observers at the bottom. If you measured both lines you would see that the line reaching the bottom is longer than the one reaching the top. Think of those lines as rays of light from the sun. With a building as tall as the Burj Khalifa, this difference in height produces the difference in sunset time.

This is some high quality shitposting right here.

4 Replies>tmw your reasoning for a claim is dependent on the claim being true

7 RepliesFor the flat earth theories when you reach the edge do you fall off or is their a force feild

3 RepliesWell Mia Khalifa isn't flat at all so explain that.
-
How does the sun orbit if gravity isn't real lol
-
You see I'd read this but I'm not actually dumb.

9 RepliesThere's only one Khalifa I know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

4 RepliesInteresting take! I find it odd that people don't take visibility into account. It's well known that there is more visibility at higher altitudes, especially when above the lower clouds.
-
4 RepliesStill doesn't explain why the sun sets at all, it should just disappear from view if it was overhead. If it went under the horizon on a flat earth, the world would go dark which doesn't happen.
-
3 RepliesI find it funny how you have a mountain of facts that disprove flat earth theory yet you still cling to it. The simple coriolis effect is enough to debunk it. Either you are too far gone or you're just a dedicated troll.

I too can create paint documents.
-
So do you believe the sun is flat too?? Because if not, and if it still is a sphere, your variable luminosity claim makes no f[i]u[/i]ckin sense
-
4 RepliesKrishnas, for your scenario to work, light would have to travel at 22.683 feet per second (2,722 ft/ 120 secs) so about 15 miles an hour. That means that I am faster than light. Please explain.
-
Seems legit.
-
2 RepliesIf you provide actually values to your claims of luminosity, size and distance it would be very easy to prove your theory with math.
-
3 RepliesAccording to your gravity replacement thing you got everything has a tendency to fall, so if the sun is falling how does it remain suspended... well the obvious answer would be that the earth is falling with it creating inertia... but you have consistently said that the earth can't be 3D as if it was everyone would be flung off as it spins...therefor discrediting inertia. So which is it...

1 ReplyDidn't you hear? The Earth is actually hollow and there is an alien race living inside. There is actually holes that lead into the inner earth at both the north and south poles. http://ourhollowearth.com

Everything you said can be summed up in one simple word. Nope.
-
you're incredibly dedicated, I'll give you that
-
[i]lol the sun is actually a giant flashlight that flies away at night and the top of the building sees it last[/i]

This is a shit post

Nope, sorry dopey. If the sun acted more like a spotlight then sunset on the ground floor would be [u]after[/u] the top floor, not before. You'd better take that one back to the drawing board, genius.
