^^^ Stop pretending that scientists are just fucking dumb and don't understand, they're liars involved in a massive conspiracy.
You are so playful. What's the matter? Did you miss breakfast at the funny farm? Scientists have proven long ago that the earth is a globe.
Incorrect assumptions such as the Suns rays hitting the Earth in parallel led to erroneous proofs that include Eratosthenes story of a boy down a well:
No assumptions involved. I showed you how it works:
Take a look at the disk of the sun, no matter the size or distance. Select a point - point A - on the disk of the sun. The sun's rays don't simply shoot out from point A in one direction. Rather, they shoot out from point A in multitudes of directions at almost exactly the same time.
Now, select another point on the disk of the sun - point B. The sun's rays shoot out from point B in multitudes of directions at almost exactly the same time, just like they do in point A. Some of the rays from point B are parallel to some of the rays from point A. Others are not parallel.
The sun has countless numbers of points like point A and point B. Some of the sun's rays shoot out from all these points parallel to each other; some not parallel.
At any distance from the sun - 93 million miles for GE, or just a few thousand for FE - the rays interact according to Bernoulli's Principle. Bernoulli's Principle causes some of the rays that are nearly parallel to become parallel. When these rays strike the atmosphere, the atmosphere breaks them up so that some of them become scattered, while others remain parallel, and still others that weren't parallel before the scattering, DO become parallel.
Even if the sun were as close as the FE people suggest, the atmosphere and Bernoulli's Principle would still scatter some of the rays while causing others to be parallel.
The point is, the idea of parallel or scattered sun's rays can't assist in proving or disproving FE or GE... at least not in the ways that FE people use the idea.
