a handful of people in the world believe that instead of living on the outside surface of a spherical, solid earth, the earth is an hollow spherical shell and we live on the inside of it, the sky and all of the heavens being the center of it.

now there are 10,000 things wrong with that idea, and 10,000 ways to show it's wrong, but here are a few simple, beautiful pictures that completely destroy the theory:

the images are taken of sunrise looking east towards Mt. Rainier in Washington state. in the fall and winter, when the sun rises farther south, and the cloud conditions are right, the mountain casts its shadow on the clouds. if you live in the right place relative to a mountain and the time of year and the cloud layer is right for it, you can see a similar thing at sunrise or sunset.

in the skycentric universe, it is impossible for a mountain to cast a shadow on the clouds above it, because the sun is inside the earth and never dips below the elevation of the mountain.

yeah, sunrise and sunset are pretty tricky to explain for a skycentrist anyway - they say it's an optical illusion caused by unnatural optics - but even these corrupted physics can't explain the geometry that must be present in order for these images to be possible. the light from the sun is obviously shining from below the mountain, which can only happen on a concave earth, or if the earth is flat, we only live on one side of it, and the sun passes beneath it.

i wouldn't bring it up but a certain member of the forum has been spreading his false teachings lately, and while confronting him i found these pictures -- which i find beautiful & striking aside from the argument, and hoped some also would enjoy seeing.

Nice photos. Not that I'm a Skycentrist, but couldn't shadow be explained as per diagram? Or perhaps as reflection off land/sea, back upward toward sky?
