[i]Intuitive Proofs, Demonstrable Reasons: Why The Earth Is Flat[/i]
Pt 2
The above gif illustrates this obvious fact quite well. If the universe is full of billions of galaxies all containing billions of stars, night would not even be possible. The universe should be one big "glare". Saying the universe is finite only makes the problem worse: ever try shinning a flash light in your face? If finite, the universe might as well be a flashlight: tons of light packed into a limited space.
Also, judging from my last post, you all seem fine with the idea that stars are "blinking" on. If so, every new star we get just adds to the problem.

[spoiler]The soldiers of truth and reason of the Flat Earth Society have drawn the sword, and ere another generation has been educated and grown to maturity, will have forced the usurpers to abdicate. Like the decayed and crumbling trees of an ancient forest, rent and shattered by wind and storm, the hypothetical philosophies, which have hitherto cumbered the civilized world, are unable to resist the elements of experimental and logical criticism; and sooner or later must succumb to their assaults. The axe is uplifted for a final stroke - it is about to fall upon the primitive sphere of the earth, and the blow will surely “cut the cumberer down!”[/spoiler]

Edited by ClusiveC: 4/30/2016 6:42:41 PMIntuitive Counter-Argument #1 If the earth is flat, then shouldn't the entire planet be lit at noon, when the sun is highest in the sky? If I place a lightbulb over a flat table, the whole table is lit - meaning that it should be daytime here in the US, as well as all over the world at the same time. EDIT: Also, let me add that this argument you've put forth, even if successful, would only go to show that the universe is not as big as we originally thought. It has nothing to say about the geometry of the earth. Let me also add that we live in a non-euclidean geometry reality. I want to hear your arguments against that fact.
