Mega Thread The Flat Earth Mega thread.

Just on this ...

Antarctica encircles the Earth's continents, but it isn't THE ice wall. Beyond Antarctica there are more continents and beyond them is THE actual ice wall....which is gigantic in depth and height compared to Antarctica.

There's a flat earth map that shows this but i dont know what its name is

If it’s a flat earth, why does the sun and moon appear and disappear? I’ll admit that I’m bourbons level stupid when it comes to this stuff. Definitely not Werewolf like scientific minded.

Yes the day/night cycle invalidates the flat model, as does the summer/winter cycle. A lunar eclipse shows the round shadow of the Earth on the Moon. The ancient Greeks deduced the globe and Eratosthenes was able to calculate Earth's size fairly accurately over 2000 years ago. Also the Foucault pendulum (1850's) demonstrates Earth's rotation (unless it's on the equator).

When it comes to seeing distant objects, layers of hot & cold air can refract light in funny ways (i.e. mirage) and change the apparent distance of the horizon. Infamously this effect raised the horizon and helped conceal the iceberg that Titanic struck.

When a large body like moon or sun is overhead, the light has much less atmosphere to travel through in reference to an observer than if it is low in the sky. Light is refracted more so body often appears bigger and slightly off the true angle

From that map Australia owns Antarctica wholes bolus

So based on that estimably scientific explanation, I have a couple of queries:

1. What force causes the sun to change its speed in rotation? After all, in the example above, the circle the sun makes in the sky above the earth in a day in the Northern hemisphere is smaller than the one in the Southern hemisphere - so the sun must alternate between speeding up and slowing down during the year.

2. Why isn't the Northern hemisphere significantly hotter than the Southern Hemisphere, when the sun's rays are focussed on a smaller portion of the disk in the north, than in the South?

3. Why the f### am I wasting my time replying to this utter bollocks?

This makes a lot of sense....eg, how rainbows flatten the closer you get to the south pole, and arc higher the further north you go....on a flat earth with dome model.

You can add economics and population distribution to the long, long list of things flerfs don't understand.
