My third challenge to flat earthers.
My first one was asking for a map, to which I got many responses, only one with an actual map, which I then deconstructed quickly.
My second one was asking for an explanation of why things fall down at the accelaration rate they do. Not a single explanation was provided. Both are still open.
But with the recent rise of actual flat earthers coming here I thought it high time for a third challenge. So, dear flat earthers, explain eclipses. How do they happen? Predict one on your model. Eclipses are when some object moves in front of the Sun (Solar eclipse) or the Moon (Lunar eclipse). On the globe model we know that for a Solar eclipse his object is the Moon and for a Lunar eclipse it is the Earth and we can track their viewing paths down to the square mile. So, do the same, explain what causes eclipses, what object moves infront of the Sun and Moon, and remember, on your model those are always opposite eachother, and local. Then predict the next one.
As always, if you manage to do this, I will become a hardcore flatearther and pay you the equivalent of 100 euros in your local currency. I hope to hear from you.
