Spinning globe VS Dome disk = False dichotomy 101

Both are laughably easy to disprove and come with a cringe-fest of influencers on each side hating on each other.

Not many people are just observing things for themselves and constructing models that fit those observations.

I started by going out at night and noticing how the moon's :AirQuoteLeft: reflection :AirQuoteRight: literally never aligns with the sun. Not even close most of the time.

Some deep diving later I now work with a Virtual Reality model of reality where everything is centered around the observer (much like in a game).

With the moon, sun and stars spinning around you individually.

With a flat plane where you are the center coordinate around which a Mercator-projection-like map is laid out.

A model where flight paths all work.
Where Luminaries are super accurately predicted.
Where 24h suns are possible.
Where there two poles on a flat plane.
Etc.....

If you can ignore the awful DnB music and flawed biblical takes, this is a good starting point for models that go beyond the silly dichotomy:
