How do YOU know the sun is spherical? You never saw it from the side either

[–] irmoz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We're always seeing the sun from the side

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The outside.

[–] irmoz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Well yeah

It’s actually the shape of a tic tac and we are all just seeing “the tip”

Is this the birth of the Flat Sun theory?

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

*conical sun theory

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes I did. 6 months ago.

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

You mean 3 months? 6 months ago you'd see the same section, from the other side.

Anyway, the Sun rotates too, so it's not that simple (you can see the sunspots moving). But yeah, right idea.

Physics

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

oh so what's next? are your physics gonna tell us that the earth isn't flat either?

[–] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Of course not it's a cylinder, it has some curve and that's why people are fooled into believing it's a sphere

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

True. Have you seen world maps? They're rectangular. And it's mathematically impossible to make a isometric map between a rectangle and a sphere, so therefore it must be cylindrical

[–] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Right?! I don't know how people don't realize it. It must be academia and mainstream media trying to bury the truth

Trump will rename it and then everything will make sense.
