"The Light" Is The Answer: Destiny & How Sunlight Proves The Flat Earth

Some of you know me. You know how much I love Destiny, and you also know that I think the world is Flat. I love Destiny because so much of its content reflects deeper truths in the real world. "The Light" is a powerful and prevailing theme throughout the game: Oryx maliciously cries out "You are the last of the light!" At its heart Destiny is the story of an epic struggle between light and dark. Light is life. [i]Light is life[/i]. In the real world this is a huge understatement: life itself would be impossible without light. [b][i]BUT LIGHT IS ALSO PROOF[/i]. It proves one of the fundamental facts of nature:[u] the Flat Earth[/u]. I have mentioned many intuitive proofs for the Flat Earth, such as jumping: the ground does not rotate beneath you when you jump. But light actually proves that the world is Flat, and that the sun is smaller and much closer to Earth's surface. [i]THE ANGLE OF LIGHT[/i]. If the sun were so massive and distant, all light reaching Earth's surface would be parallel. [i]BUT A SIMPLE PICTURE OF SUN BEAMS DISPROVES THIS:[/i] look at the above picture. [i]The sun's beams are clearly hitting earth at an angle[/i]. Tracing a triangle along these angles indicates that the sun is indeed smaller and much closer to earth. This fits with the Flat Earth model, not the round ball myth.[/b] [spoiler]Moderator edit: This thread has been moved to #Offtopic, a more appropriate forum for this offtopic discussion.

    They are called Crepuscular Rays - and they are [b]PARALLEL[/b] in exactly the same way that railway lines (which are also parallel) appear to converge on a distant point. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepuscular_rays[/url] If you want to check the perspective effect of converging parallel railway lines, might I suggest standing on the railway lines at Clapham Junction at about 9am - that should do it.
