Time zones? What, like I step over a line on the ground and I’m in the future? Pfffft.
It’s so much worse than that. The people in the GMT +13 time zone had 19 hours to warn us about 9/11 in 2001, and they did nothing!
Well yeah, they’re all old and forgetful. They could come West and be younger but they don’t care. They’re old.
If you go to the North pole and run around in circles you can easily get years into the past.
Wouldn’t they get younger more quickly if they moved east across the much-shorter distance to the international date line?
Even flat earthers accept that there are time zones. Fancy being even dumber than them.
Wait what? How does that work then? Now I need to look what kind of brain twisting logic they employ to combine a flat earth with time zones.
The Sun still only illuminates part of the disk at a time. It doesn’t go below the disk at night, it’s still above the disk just too far away to see, so you get different times of day in different parts of the world.
Yes, this just raises more questions. Yes they have answers for them. None of them are good and very few of them are even internally consistent, let alone hold up to any scrutiny.
I used to work with one. The notion is that the sun travels in essentially a circle above the earth-disk and is also much smaller and much closer than you’ve been led to believe. They believe that the world actually is exactly as it looks in an azimuthal equidistant projection centered on the North Pole, and that it being what the world really looks like is why that’s the map on the UN logo. Antarctica is essentially the rim of the world and what keeps the ocean from pouring over the edge of the disk, like the rim of a giant bowl.
You dig deep enough and you learn that they also don’t believe in gravity (because if gravity was real then it would tend to pull people nearer the edge of the disk at a deeper slant relative to the surface). It’s just that the Earth-disk is accelerating upwards through the void at 9.8 m/s^2.
The earth accelerating upwards wouldn’t negate the effects of gravity though. So they actually don’t believe in the concept of gravity at all?
So what keeps the sun and moon and all the planets from crashing into the Earth then?
Don’t embarrass yourself any further.
Twenty dollars is twenty dollars.
“What are timezones?”
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.
Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction, but I have seen the face of time and I can tell you, they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm.
wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff
Yes I’ve seen this referenced in several theoretical physics papers. Fascinating stuff. Really makes you think.
