Timelapse of the sun proves flat earth

[Rick Otto]

I'm not sure they even believe that Australia exists.

Your own existence
, too.

 

[Rick Otto]

I see; transparent domes. See, I can imagine anything, like ponies that fart rainbows.

I imagine that area of your imagination to be fully ripened.
Imagine yourself actually educating yourself on the matter.
Imagine yourself weary of seeing this forum as one of the few places you can imagine yourself to be the cleverest chap in the room.

 

[Rick Otto]

I wonder how flerfers explain the retrograde motion of the planets?

Let us know what you find out on your search.
Must be really important to you if you went to all the trouble to come to this forum and bother to ask.

No, I'm talking about what I see out of my window. Australia's southernmost city gets 15 hours of daylight in summer. The Antarctic base gets 24. These are facts.

Sunlight in January looks would like this on a flat earth. Just doesn't work.

I ask though it is not for supporting belief in flat earth, where did you get this map, with land masses drawn in the wrong places and some drawn in reverse, relative to others?

No one, not even those believing in the flat earth, would believe it would be arranged like that.

The whole thing was a mirror image of the standard "flat earth" map. A corrected one is below.

But the original reversal didn't alter the main point, which is that January sunlight in the Southern hemisphere has longer days as you go further south. A flat earth simply can't explain this.

Meh, Try getting them to explain why starts in the northern hemisphere rotate counter clockwise about a central point whereas in the southern hemisphere they rotate clockwise. Not to mention why some starts are only ever visible in one hemisphere.

Tanj...... think about it... please..

If the earth is a globe and it spins... then the stars must be observed to rotate in the same direction... everywhere on the globe. East to west

They cannot rotate clockwise in one place and counter clockwise in another.. even if it is below the equator...

On both models.. the stars must move the same direction everywhere on the earth.

What you are doing is looking South.. so they move from one direction.. and north.. so they move the other direction..

They still always move in the same direction

This is proof of nothing.

That's not geometrically accurate.

Two persons on either side of the equator experience motion in (2) different ways. One is moving clock-wise ... and the other is moving counter clock-wise.

It's an aspect of spheroidal geometry ...

It’s as if the toilets flush FE theory down in opposite directions

Everywhere, on a sphere, is moving in the same direction... Everything, therefore, in space, should be observed to move the same direction..

In this case... all objects, on the globe earth, will be moving west to east. All things in space, will be observed to move east to west..

That's spherical fact.

The difference is that in Oz..... they are looking south... In the Great white North.. we look north.. But... everything is moving the same direction.

Yes ... that is exactly it.

Perception ... of motion ...

 

[JacksBratt]

Yes ... that is exactly it.

Perception ... of motion ...

Exactly...

Therefore... totally of no benefit to either model... flat or globe..... It's a mute point...

And in the North, stars appear to rotate around Polaris. In the South, they appear to rotate around the South Celestial Pole. That can't possibly work on a flat earth.

Not quite.

The difference in PERCEPTION exists because of the earth being a sphere.

There is no similar change in perspective on a flat plain ...

One would think that would be obvious.

I disagree... Flat or sphere.... look south.. things move east to west... Look north..things move east to west...

No difference.... no argument for either.

It doesn't work that way on a planar surface. Perceptions of rotational direction are consistent on a geometric plane ...

Geometric, planar, spherical... whatever...

The earth spins so anywhere you stand on the globe..... things move the same direction.. it cannot be any other way.

Also, if the earth is flat... the celestial luminaries are going to move the same direction wherever you stand and look up..

fancy nomenclature or not.

You, yourself, admitted that perspective makes a difference in how motion is perceived.

There is a difference in perceptive between the Northern and Southern hemispheres. This is confirmed by observation of the heavens. As has been mentioned in the thread, ... the Southern Hemisphere perspective shows stars that observers in the Northern hemisphere can't see ... and vice-versa.

There is no principle in flat earth cosmology which explains this phenomena ...
