So my argument is; that would happen if the sun was local and moving (like in flat earth).
Do you believe the two-stick experiment proves the earth is a ball? In the same fashion that your experiment (doesn't) work.
Yes it does, you can actually repeat that experiment using a ball and a camera with a flashlight and then accurately calculate the circumference of the ball that was used.
So youve stated your argument (i think, maybe, probably not actually) but what am i supposed to do with that info? You tell me. Why is the formula correct in all areas for calculating circumference of spheres, but not in this case? How does your math add up?
The same effect would happen if the sun was moving and the earth was stationary. It doesn't prove the earth is a ball/globe/sphere/oblong spheroid/pear.
No it wouldnt, light doesnt work that way. And the math only works if you use the r value of the earth.
