@TimiTV4@screwnasapunks@WooWooSpaceJew @PearlRiverSD @stephenmmayes@NASA@Space_Station I explained WHY I made that change — IN MATHEMATICAL DETAIL, that “linear” doesn’t always mean the same thing in mathematical topics, such as differential equations vs a simple graphic. And solving differential equations is WAY beyond the brightness-luminosity equation.
@TimiTV4@screwnasapunks@WooWooSpaceJew @PearlRiverSD @stephenmmayes@NASA@Space_Station The shape of the sun would CONTINUOUSLY become flat as it moves across the sky if the sun were a flashlight. You don't even need to understand science of any type to realize this. You just have to not suck ass at drawing three dimensional objects.
@TimiTV4@screwnasapunks@WooWooSpaceJew @PearlRiverSD @stephenmmayes@NASA@Space_Station Not distance, not refraction (because we can still see stars near the horizon in some locations). Nothing. There is literally nothing. Now, they'll claim the sun is a flashlight, but if that was the case we'd see it become very flat WHILE STILL relatively high in the air.
@TimiTV4@screwnasapunks@WooWooSpaceJew @PearlRiverSD @stephenmmayes@NASA@Space_Station Oh yeah, the relationship between apparent brightness, luminosity and distance is simple. It's
B = L/(4pid^2)
And no, pi doesn't come from assumptions about the shape of the earth. It comes from simple geometry; flux and how light leaves the sun.

7. Discover that it's around FIVE TIMES brighter than what the night sky actually is.
8. Realize you were a COMPLETE MORON for thinking the world was flat.
9. Don't reproduce to prevent your inferior genes from remaining in the gene pool.
