I just checked the the time in Swansea as I need to call my brother to wish him happy birthday.
Hint: It's very big and kinda spherical (an oblate spheroid to be exact). And you're either up very late indeed or you are a really early riser. I just checked the the time in Swansea as I need to call my brother to wish him happy birthday. But anyway, you can't see the sun yet, but I can. For the very same reason.
Mmm...To be honest I don't really understand all this - But I'm all ears.
Mmm...
OK. Get a ball and hold it above a piece of paper that has 4 small crosses on it (the Southern Cross is made up of 4 stars). Imagine that you are very, very small and are standing on the top of the ball. That's the UK. The ball is the earth. If you look down, all you see is the ball. It blocks you from seeing the crosses on the paper.
Now imagine you walk around the ball to the side closest to the paper (you won't fall off because...gravity). Now you're in Australia. G'day. Now if you look 'up', that is - away from the ball to the paper, you can see the crosses! Brilliant, eh?
You're welcome.Well this is one way of explaining it - Thanks.
That's been explained to you.But I reckon Eric is right when he says it depends where you are the ball or a flat sur-face, this goes for the moon & the pole star.
You're welcome.
That's been explained to you.
At certain times someone in the northern hemisphere will be able to see the same moon as me (well, there is only one moon). I mean see it at the same time. Magadan in Russia is pretty much on the same longitude as Sydney (check it on Google maps). When it's dark here, it's dark there and when it's midnight here it's the same time there.
If the moon is on the horizon in the south in Magadon it will be on the horizon in the north from where I am. And Ivan will see the moon as you see it - the left hand view in the post above. And I'll see it upside down - the right hand view.
Well, yeah. About as far south of the equator as Magadon is north. So imagine holding the ball as you did last time, and the moon is way over to the side at the same level. Ivan is just about standing upright on the ball and I'm standing what looks like it's upside down to him (gravity again...). He sees the moon looking one way and I see it upside down compared to his view.Well you must be further south than Magadon.

That's right. But when it's on the horizon that doesn't apply.But like Eric said, it depends where you are in how you view it.
North, right way up
South upside down
We've already been through a bunch of these 'proofs' put forward by Eric 'the idiot' Dubay and shown them to be complete bunk. Does the improved audio mean he has someone else narrating other than him?200 Proofs, the most popular Flat Earth book/video in history, translated into 30 foreign languages and viewed by tens of millions, is now back and better than ever with improved audio and updated visuals!
So now you are telling us to trust the government?Government documents proving flat earth.
Why would you think that?And I have @d taylor , I've just left two threads b/c of this, I was hoping this one maybe different.
So now you are telling us to trust the government?
Make up your mind.
So government documents admitting the earth is flat are lies. Gotcha, thanks.No I am showing you how they lie.
So government documents admitting the earth is flat are lies. Gotcha, thanks.
Assuming that there ARE documents in which the government has said that the earth is flat; that you've persuaded some officials to join you.For them to admit it's flat, what does this say about us F/E believers ?
