The Southern Cross and Alleged South Pole

  • I may have accidently failed to post this thread this morning.

    What do we make of the Southern Cross and other constellations seen south of zero degrees latitude?

    Also, what should we make of the alleged pictures of a South Pole?

    I noticed certain pictures seem to have the row of flags on opposite sides of the pole strangely.

  • First, the easy question. "What of the South Pole"?

    It's just a ceremonial barbershop pole, symbolic of the alleged bottom "pole" of the "globe earth".

    BUT -- you won't find videos of a man standing a few steps from the south pole, taking a few steps in different directions and watching the compass needle continually move around as it constantly points to the "South Pole" a few feet in front of him. That has never happened.

    The excuse is that the Earth's magnetic field is constantly moving, we can't pinpoint the exact Pole exactly, and other such nonsense.

    As for the Southern stars that can't be seen in the North, there is a rational and reasonable explanation for that.

    The starfield (in a dome above us) is much larger than we can see from any one point on earth. Picture yourself standing on a flat earth, with a vast dome of stars above you. Your field of vision is a small dome X miles in all directions from you. Remember we can only see so far with our eyes. Perspective. Those electric poles blend in with the horizon at some point. Are those electric poles 1 inch tall? No, they are just as tall as the ones right next to you. They just SEEM smaller, and get compressed into the horizon, as you approach the "vanishing point" which is simply the law of perspective and the limitations on human vision.

    Or how clouds look like they're right over the ground, when you look off into the horizon. Guess what? Those clouds are just as high up in the sky as the ones right over your head! They just LOOK lower, because they're so far off. The same with the stars!

    So you can't see all the stars at once, from any one point on earth. The Earth is indeed a very big place.

    Keep watching those videos in the "Flat Earth video collection" I put together -- this and many other things are explained in there.
