Moon it's own source of light

[Nithavela]

I saw a map of the flat earth with Antarctica being the ice wall around it, and beyond it more lands with a further ice wall around them and around this flat earth with its ice wall, in the center. Thought of saving it to use, just can't find it right now. But seeing there is the map, for how the flat earth is, it must be so.

Of course whose to say such a world as that wouldn’t actually be a globe, with volcanic activity in the south pole resulting in an arid desert and jungles, offset by the equatorial ice rings? Such a planet owing to its large size would need to be much less dense than Earth or else gravity would be crushing - perhaps with the core of the planet consisting of lighter, stronger elements, such as certain carbon structures, with the volcanic activity being largely superficial as opposed to being driven by a dynamo effect. Orbiting contra-rotating rings in prograde and retrograde orbits of iron or other metals might generate a magnetosphere that would provide shielding from cosmic rays, and these would roughly correspond to the ice rings, but would also pose a hazard to astrogation, with perhaps the safest route being a rapid deceleration from a high geostationary orbit and the gently maintaining a tight circling pattern above the landing speed at say, mach 5, which would preclude most atmospheric braking, so obviously such a planet would be accessible only to galactic civilizations with more advanced propulsion technologies, such as fusion rockets, or better yet, matter/antimatter based power.

Or alternately, we could avoid all that by mapping this world to the interior wall of a Dyson sphere, except, dang it, it turns out those are impossible to build. So much for the TNG episode “Relics.”

By the way i do wish Star Trek would do a nice graphical transporter accident, like in GalaxyQuest. I wanted to see the mess at Starfleet Command following the transporter malfunction in Star Trek: The Motion Picture that killed Commander Sonak and the navigator. According to the novelization, they formed with their organs outside their bodies! Alas, for 1979 for a G rated film that would be unthinkable, but let us not forget, ALIEN came out around the same time and was even more gruesome, so there is that.

You know, I tried speaking about gravity too, but flat earthers that I find just deny gravity! How? They say it is all buoyancy, as if that would work without any gravity! Anyway I found that flat earth map I recalled which had further lands beyond the ice wall. So it would be that way. It is evidence the flat earthers would use.

Tolkien wrote of how the earth he was describing in his fiction was actually flat at the time his stories took place, but there was a transformation since into the world as ours is now. Not that this is what he believed though, I am sure. Still I have the idea, maybe from such influence knowing that, that our world was once something different before the great catastrophe with the global flood. Not being flat, but just really different, with sea and land, and the life around then.

First off, it is entirely possible that the greater light is a reference to the sun and the lesser light is a reference to all the stars we see at night.

Also, if the two lights referenced are the sun and the moon, the verse doesn't say they are their own independent light sources, it just refers to them as lights. It's altogether possible that the lesser light is reflecting the greater light.

King James Bible
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine Isaiah 13:10

 

[David Lamb]

King James Bible
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine Isaiah 13:10

Perhaps a clearer verse that shows that the stars were not the lesser light is:

“Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. [He made] the stars also.” (Ge 1:16 NKJV)

 

[Paul4JC]

Have you ever seen the early morning moon setting? You would think it's the sun if you didn't know better.

Not very consistent white balance in those photos. Not sure what point you are trying to make
