...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. Quoting: Remedial_Rebel 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! I'm saying it is impossible to have 17+ hours of daylight on a flat earth in southern most part of the earth. With 24 hours in a day, that's more than 2/3rds of a 24 hour day. That's more than 2/3rds of the circle of a flat earth being illuminated. A valid model of earth must account for daylight observations for all places on earth, for all 24 hrs, for all 365 days out of the year. Completely impossible on a flat earth. A spherical earth, tilted 23 degrees orbiting the sun explains all daylight observations without exception. And why do you think a globe earth.. if this was correct.. would be titling? and tilting at 23 %.. I always used to hate when people would ask me why it can be daylight in china but we can't see the sun from here and my response was "if I shine a flash light in the walmart parking lot why can't I see if from my house?" I was very flawed here especially when, at this moment, thinking of more than 2/3rds the globe being lit by the sun. On a flat earth, if 2/3rds of the land was lit by the sun, wouldn't it, the sun, honestly be visible from anywhere else on the flat earth? 2/3rds is a lot. If you were at one end of a parking lot and I was at the other and you shined a light big enough to illuminate 2/3rds of the lot, there is no where in that lot I could to not see the light source. I know the scale in this scenario is way off and I am not trying to argue. I am just looking at this rationally for the first time.
