You want me to explain what the flattard got wrong? Ok.
@1:36: Shows the sun shrinking as it recedes into the distance. But that's not what we see for the actual sun.
@2:56: Says the sun above at noon is "already reduced", and "as it goes away, it really doesn't change size very much".
That's complete bullshit. The apparent size is proportional to distance, so something twice as far away will be 1/2 the size.
What's the distance to the sun when it's halfway to the horizon? This is a simple geometry problem involving a right triangle:
sun' --- sun'' | | | person
The answer, calculated by the Pythagorean theorem, is the √2 * distance of the sun overhead at noon, or approximately 1.41 times further away. And 1/1.41 = 0.707.
So at the halfway point, the sun should only be about 7/10 the size as it was at noon. THIS NEVER FUCKING HAPPENS.
Everything you said is based on the assumption that the sun is the center of our solar system. And that's all that idea has ever been...an assumption. If you are retarded, like you literally are, clinically I mean...and you go along with what is and only ever has been merely an assumption, then sure...you're idiot ass is correct, but then again, you're only correct if you go along with the assumption...do you understand that...?

No, flattard. Everything I said is based on flattard claims, exactly as shown in the video with his string set up, with the sun moving along a straight line parallel to the Earth. Basic geometry and observation shows you guys are the most retarded people on the planet.

Now go play in traffic, flattard monkey.
