Is the Earth Flat?

[prodromos]

Yes it can. See Night and Day in the Flat Earth model.

The model fails in too many ways. The sun should appear smaller as it moves further away from a viewpoint but instead remains the same size right across the sky. The sun should never appear to rise or set over the horizon in that model but instead simply get smaller and dimmer as it moves further from the viewpoint until it appears to simply go dark.

The FAA records details on all flights (apart from military and sensitive government flights) which is public information and such records are absolutely admissible in a court of law. Your demand for scientific evidence is completely arbitrary on your part. If I asked you what scientific evidence you had to prove the existence of Nova Scotia to someone who has never been to Canada, what could you provide?

Do you have access to the FAA records?

How anyone can actually believe we live on a flat earth is beyond logic.

If you believe in the flat earth,

The earth could not be flat. If it was we wouldn't need steps.

I use to say the same thing until about eight years ago when I started looking into it. It's the old adage, "it is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."

Phases of the moon? Solar and lunar eclipses and how they can be predicted? Movement of the stars and why they appear to rotate in opposite directions at the poles? Seasonal changes in sunlight? No sunrise or sunset at the poles depending on the season?

Amazing 5-Day Antarctica Timelapse Where the Sun Never Sets

The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle

How is this time lapse on Antarctica possible on the flat earth map?

At no point in that model can Antarctica experience the sun not setting. Yet we know both poles experience a summer solstice where the sun is visible all 24 hours.

Yes it can. See Night and Day in the Flat Earth model.

In this “model” everyone in the entire world would be able to see the sun 24/7. Furthermore the sun would never rise or set.

It's a projection of a ridiculous sphere, but it conveys the essential concept. A flat earth map is really needed. See my blog post: WORLD MAPS (PART I)

The number of flights in the northern hemisphere as compared to the southern hemisphere are irrelevant. The fact still remains that flights are available in the southern hemisphere. Like for example from Johannesburg South Africa to Sydney Australia. The flight time is around 11 hrs 45 min. So because flights do exist in the southern hemisphere the general public can know how far it is by doing some simple math.

Clearly, a map of the world reflecting its true geometric, geographic, and geodetic nature, is required. Development of such a map will not be an easy task but will require many specialists, including, but certainly not limited to, cartographers, geographers, geodesists, astronomers, and earth scientists. Additionally, input from aviators, sailors, and RF operators at all levels is critical. Finally, information technology specialists with the skills to process and re-organize public or commercially available databases and real time data inputs, are indispensible.

We already have all of these resources and have had them for hundreds of years. That’s how we got our maps and how they have gotten more accurate over time.

Only on a globe. If it is flat disc there is so much more area to cover.

Not as much as you think... Yes it's a wider circumference but you only have to patrol the southern tips of the contestants.. Not the shores of Antarctica.

You don't wait at the destination.. You wait at the points of departure.. simple.

Why would there be a horizon on a flat earth? Your video talks about the sun going beyond the horizon. There would be no horizon on a flat earth and the video you showed about day & night doesn’t show the sun going beyond any horizon. It clearly shows that the sun stays above all of the land masses as it circles the earth. This means by simply looking up from any place on earth you would be able to see the sun in the sky no matter where it is because it never goes on the other side of any land masses.

Andhøy is a renegade who doesn't believe in permits or regulations. His previous expedition ended in tragedy with no permits filed and no insurance resulting in a number of countries footing the bill for the rescue operation.. He was taken into custody on his return from Antarctica, so your claim of simple radar and intercept ships obviously wasn't able to stop him getting there.

It doesn't matter.. Anyone going to Antarctica on their own dime... is a renegade... You can go sailing around this earth.. Sail to ports in the US, Canada, England, Italy... no worries.. You cannot sail to Antarctica... the treaty will not allow it.

Nope. The law of perspective also means objects get smaller as they approach the vanishing point. The sun and moon don't change size because they are so far away that the difference in distance between low on the horizon ant high in the sky is negligible.

Fail.

That is a lie.
The entrepreneur and adventurer, Dick Smith, traveled to Antarctica on his own dime. He got the proper permits and flew his helicopter across the South Pole. He later circumnavigate the earth by the north and south poles is a plane.

No one seems to notice the sun”s speeding up and slowing down as it moves nearer and farther from the center pole?

Not in the slightest.

However, it does show that the author does not understand basic geometry, makes false claims, and unsubstantiated claims.

Perspective does explain why something appears to get smaller the further away it is. And why it appears to get closer to the horizon. But it will never go below the horizon. To claim that lower part of the object will go out of sight due to perspective is false.

The sun does not get smaller. But it does gradually drop out of sight. This is not explained by perspective.

But even if perspective could explain a sunset, the animation showing the sun moving about above a flat earth fails to agree with observation. In this unworkable model, at a point on the earth experiencing sunrise, the sun is in the sky above (although not directly above). It is not anywhere near the horizon. Fail.

You asked about seasonal change on the flat earth model. That particular video illustrates seasonal change on a flat earth model.

Yes, we have had those resources for hundreds of years but at the behest of heliocentric hegemony.
