Strongly Leaning Flat Earth
« on: March 12, 2018, 09:27:37 AM »
So, when I first started looking into flat earth, I didn't think it likely that I would come around to accepting it.

But the evidence seems to be stacking up strongly in favor of flat earth.

1 ) cities, mountains, other objects that are clearly visible (and obviously not just refraction or "mirage") from distances at which globe earth math would make it impossible

2 ) strong evidence of NASA (and SpaceX) fakery

3 ) sun spots on the top of clouds when sun is allegedly 93 million miles away

4 ) lots of independent (not NASA controlled) footage from high enough where curvature should be visible ... and yet it's not, and where the horizon remains at eye level

5 ) flight plans that don't make any sense except for against a flat earth map

6 ) prohibition of free Antarctic exploration

7 ) moonlight being cooler than surrounding area

8 ) surveyors and engineers ignoring earth curvature

9) NASA images of globe earth are clearly (and admittedly CGI) ... with differing shapes of continents, cut-and-paste repeated cloud patterns, no satellites visible

10) fake Mars rover pictures, obvious green-screened and otherwise faked "astronaut" footage

11) Piccard's pre-NASA statement that the earth looks like a circular disc with upturned edges

12) sun changing size in the sky when it's allegedly 93 million miles away

[this is just off the top of my head, as I'm sure there's more]

On the globe earth side, I see ...

1) the Antarctica problem ... long periods of sunlight where there should be less sunlight according to a flat earth model

2) alleged flights over Antarctica

So the Antarctica problems remains the final obstacle to my being able to completely embrace flat earth.

So, flat earthers, what do you say about the Antarctica issue?  If the circuŠ¼ference of the Antarctica is so big, why is there so much sunlight during "Southern Hemisphere" summer?  Is light bouncing off the dome or something?

1. The Analemma (the sun's traced position throughout the year) may well be the answer for this.  When the sun is closer to the antarctic, the south, at times, is exposed to more hours of  daylight.  The south remains colder than the north because when the sun is closer to the south edge, it is also higher in the sky.  The figure eight path of the sun shows the sun not only moves across the earth, but is higher and lower in the sky at different times of year.  Also, the Analemma proves earth is not a globe, because the sun's figure eight has a unique path in one area. At least one side of the globe could never be included.  Why? Because these images are taken from the same spot at the same hour for a year's time.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analemma
2. Alleged flights.

Actually, the analemma can only be traced during the day so it won't be proof against the globe for positional reasons.  It may be proof against the globe because it isn't symmetrical, but elongated, and therefore doesn't make sense on a globe.

Just answering my own "may well be the answer for this" statement.

Very interesting 'movie' on the Analemma

Thanks, happenby.  I'm not sure I completely understand how this would explain to the long hours of sunlight in the Southern Hemisphere, but I'll keep thinking about it.
