Event Skeptic (Ronnie Harris) - Definitive proof We are not on a ball, flat earth maps are wrong, and we are in a simulation
Dear Event Skeptic,
Your statement at time mark 2:27 is WRONG...
You said, "You can clearly see here, that the length of the day, at the equator right here, has got to be much longer on a ball, that it is for a place like Anchorage Alaska."
My comments concerning your above statement...
You don't seem to understand how on a globe, all locations rotate at the same "angular speed", but not at the same vector actual speed (distance * time).
(See the picture at the bottom of this post)
That is exactly why the length of day/night in Alaska is the same as the length of day/night in Florida, on the date of the Vernal and Autumn Equinox.
When is the Autumn Equinox?

My comments:
Based on Sun altitude observations made at the US Naval Observatory, the length of day is 12-hours at both Anchorage, Alaska and Miami, Florida, on the 2016 day of the Autumn Equinox.
