So why is it -31 at the south pole? https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/antarctica/south-pole I stand outside when the sun is out I can feel the heat, it quickly melts snow and ice. When the sun moves away so does it's heat. The sun is much closer than what we have been told. It locally heats and illuminates. It moves over us in a circle. That's why we feel the heat when it's close. That's why days are shorter in the winter, the sun is on a longer trek. [/quote] the difference in distance to the Sun is only a few percent. [b]But the amount of sunlight received due to angle of incidence varies a lot more. [/b] [b][i]opinion and speculation, prove this statement in lab experiment.[/i][/b][/quote] Prove angle of incidence? Are you on crack? It is a known fact. Put a panel perpendicular to an energy source and it receives more than if at an angle. Sorry you never paid attention to the world. [b][i]Ok so then that means the sun's rays aren't coming in parallel as we are told by erastothenes. That means his calculations were wrong. how does it feel to step into my traps?[/i][/b] [quote:Anonymous Coward 42079668:MV80MTk2NjIwXzc2MzI3MzY0XzM1OTc2RkRE] the Sun can not be as close as flatties say it is.[b] It stays the same size throughout the day which should not happen if it were only 3000 miles up as they claim.[/b] [b][i]wrong, not only have other people shown it does change size, under a solar filter, it's easily demonstratable yourself. Get a good camera with a solar filter and take picture at different times of the year, you will see it does change size.[/i][/b][/quote] And I was talking about through the DAY. Please read what it written and not what you wish was written. [b][i]Ok it will work during the day as well, provided you are at a high enough altitude. Still the fact remains i it changes size AT ALL during the day or year, just disproves the idea it's 93 million miles away, again.[/i][/b] [quote:Anonymous Coward 42079668:MV80MTk2NjIwXzc2MzI3MzY0XzM1OTc2RkRE] It is also known from RADAR and laser reflection as well as trigonometry that the Moon is about 240,000 miles away and the Moon moves in front of the Sun so the Sun has to be farther than that. We've also bounced RADAR off of Venus and Mercury and know that they also pass in front of the sun. [b][i]This is just quoting scientific dogma, let me know when you personally get your own radar and do the experiement yourself, its just like quoting the lunar ranging experiment without having done it yourself[/i][/b] [/quote] I've done the trigonometry for the Moon myself. Still worked. You just have to measure the angle in the sky at the same time as another separated observer and do the math. Still works. And the burden of proof that the RADAR doesn't work is on you. [b][i]show me one trigonometry formula and your "known" values. Also the burden of proof is on me? So by your logic any woman who claims to have been raped is right by default, it's up to those who say she wasn't raped to prove it?[/i][/b] [/quote] [/quote]
Original Message
Iam ambivalent after a lot of research. Both sides of the debate have anomalies....
The flat earthers state that the UN Flag is the true map of earth and that Antarctic is actually a large ice wall encircling the land and sea.
There appear to be no credible evidence of anyone ever circling the globe by air from North and South route.
Firing a rocket to escape high enough to hit the "DOME" is not really feasible ....
HOWEVER
Flat earthers why not try and circumnavigate Antarctica..
The flat earth narrative is that Captain Cook attempted this but travelled for months and over 42000 miles and didnt come back to the starting point.
Replicating this voyage is doable and provable to end the debate one way or another
