I think today is the day I abandon Flat Earth. (LONG POST sorry not sorry.)

And again, I am not a physicist or a mathematician in any way. I don't understand the numbers behind it and for so long...because I didn't understand it, in my mind it was fake or impossible. That is a huge disservice to myself. Instead of trying to understand it I would just dismiss it. Dammit, if that didn't make me weak. It made me follow people due to my own insecurities and my own shortcomings. And listen...admitting this is hard for me to do. I kinda hate it.
Quoting: ConcernedHuman OP, you don't need to be a physicist or a mathematician. If you have a High School graduates understanding of geometry, you'll know that there's is NO WAY! you could have the know empirical observations of daylight in the month of December.... 14+ hours of daylight in Melbourne Australia (58% of a 24 hr day) 15+ hours of daylight in Dunedin, New Zealand (62% of a 24 hr day) 17+ hours of daylight in Ushuaia, Argentina (70% of a 24 hr day) based on a FE model.  Observations of daylight is the most fundamental of evidence in explaining the physical world in which we live. FE fails badly at this. Are you saying that's impossible on a globe but possible on a flat earth? I am not a smart man. I never took geometry. I somehow flaked out and my highest math was algebra 2 which honestly...I still have no idea how to find what X equals LOL. But on a globe earth does the daylight hours have to do with the tilt of earth? And in the same breath on a flat earth, wouldn't the hours of daylight depend on the speed of the sun?? Help me understand what you're saying! And thanks for the cordial discussion. That's when I enjoy discussion the most!
