How do flat earthers explain the opposite seasons in the Southern Hemisphere?

They can't explain it, they simply believe it. They don't realize that a flat earth would not have night and day, either. It would be one or the other. Same with the seasons.

Flat earthers are missing a cog in their brain structure.

Why are the stars always at the EXACT same place day after day, year after year, century after century... if the Earth is flying through space at 490,000 miles per hour? How?

This is accurate. Most of them know deep down that the FE stuff is nonsense, but they are too emotionally invested to admit it. They also worry that everyone they have been telling about FE will ridicule them if they admit the truth. I really think most of their family and friends would welcome the news with relief.

They aren’t. You can tell by the position of the pyramids in Egypt, which were intended to line up with the three stars in Orion’s Belt. They are slightly off today as a result of the progressive movement of those stars in relation to earth. The difference is very small because the distance between stars is so vast. The closest star to earth is 4 light years away-a distance that is hard to get you mind around. If you could travel the speed of light, it would still take 4 years to get there. The vastness of space creates the illusion that the stars don’t move, but in fact we can discern their movements with astronomy, however slight it appears to the naked eye.

They're not in the EXACT same place day after day.

I think flat earth was started by trolls, and the gullible people ran with it. Starting a cult.

So because they are slightly off today, that somehow proves they weren't slightly off back then? How? I bet they were.

Yes, they are.

The Coriolis Effect is actually a ball tethered to a pole being hit by children on a play ground.

The Northern Hemisphere is the top half and the Southern is the bottom half of the pole. The earth is a cylinder combining the straight lines of a Flat Earth and the curved lines of a sphere.

You surely trolling now, the very first sentence in your link....



"The stars are not fixed, but are constantly moving........ The stars seem so fixed that ancient sky-gazers mentally connected the stars into figures (constellations) that we can still make out today. But in reality, the stars are constantly moving. They are just so far away that the naked eye cannot detect their movement. But sensitive instruments can detect their movement...

No, really... the statement is that they are moving, but in reality they seem fixed. So their movement is just a hypothesis and reality is there for everyone to see.

To the other side of the giant static electric plane, the yin yang is the perfect representation of the (flat) earth. Im in Texas and many times I have witnessed both the sun and moon in the same sky. During winter, the cycle of the sun and moon traverse the outer portion of earth plane. And during summer months it comes back to the center. This is why Alaska is dark for 6 months and light for the other 6.I got into this topic to try to debunk FE and ended up a believer. Don't tell me you believe everything our authority tells us is true?

No. ..the movement is measurable. It says it in the link you posted.


You sure you're not fucking with me now?

It says. Can you measure it? No? But can you see the stars are fixed? Yes? Well...

nibiru

How you can drink water standing upside down is a true testament of your educational experience.

Yes I can measure their movement. And the size and distance and temperature and age.

Ok then! You are the champion! The Earth is flying at 500K mp/h obviously! Congratulations!

Well I don't know about that, it's quite easily done with high school math. Lots of others have and can do it too.

..and don't forget the spinning around on it's axis at 1000mph.

If you break down the light coming from each star with a prism, you can find the spectral lines for Helium. They are off a little bit, because of the Doppler shift, from the relative motion..

Down, is the direction to the center of mass of the Earth.

Roughly Spherical, is the shape of the Earth.

Quack, is the sound a duck makes.

Coriolis affects long gun shots, hurricane wind patterns, etc. and proves Earth is spinning.

And sailboats circumnavigate Antarctica all the time in only a few weeks, when the flat Earth maps would require the better part of a year to circumnavigate.

Proof only exists in math. In everything else from court cases to science there's only evidence.

That said, why would you use pictures at all as EVIDENCE for what the shape of the earth is?

Everyone knows you flatties just scream and cry fake at pictures that show curvature (hint: technically ALL PICTURES taken on earth with a wide enough field of view show curvature but y'all are too dumb to bother with pictures anyway)

That said, you can easily show that there's both curvature and rotation a whole fuck ton of different ways from foucault's pendulum, to the behavior of bullets in flight to the simplest of all evidence....

Are you ready for the absolute simplest and best evidence EVER that earth is definitely a ball?

It's a good one, I promise you'll be amazed!

The best possible evidence earth is a ball is the FACT that it's outright IMPOSSIBLE to make a flat contiguous map of earth and it's landmasses that is 100% to scale, proportional, and all distances between all points on the map correspond to the distances we know things are from each other in reality!


Yes, it's really that simple!

You CAN NOT MAKE AN ACCURATE FLAT MAP without breaking it up or applying extensive corrective factors!

It's outright IMPOSSIBLE.

This is what blows my mind about you flatties.

It's incredibly easy to confirm the shape of the earth any one of several dozen ways and that makes the whole flat earth movement funny enough.

But the fact that it's literally impossible to make a working flat map... How did you dumbfucks miss that?

No. Gravity is a SCIENTIFIC THEORY not a colloquial Theory, there's a huge difference. Look up the definition of a scientific theory.

Now, if they called it the gravity HYPOTHESIS you'd actually have a point but since they don't you don't.

Flat Earth people could you tell me what you see in the sky when you look through a telescope? Most objects are spherical and it could be that earth is likewise?

How do scientists predict a comet coming back every 80 years? In the same place in the sky?

When you fly on a plane and look out of the window, you see the horizon? That’s because it’s curved, you can’t see around the curve?

A lot of it is down to the specific construction and placement of your valves and water inlets/outlets. I don't remember how exactly you position everything in order to get your spin direction of choice it could be done

The simplest drain with no valve at all, a simple funnel, will show the effect. You Can of course fiddle with the direction intentionally if you want, but in the simplest set up, a level funnel filled with water and capped at the exit, remove the cap and water will always swirl the same way, and the direction of the swirl will be dependent on the hemisphere of the Earth you are standing on.

No , it doesn't .

The explanation is correct, and you can see for yourself, by looking at the angle that the Sun makes with the ground at noon in the winter versus the summer.

Well that's easy to answer, they're not. Look at nautical almanacs which you can easily find dating back to the 17th century archived online and you'll see that they very specifically account for the stars position changes throughout the year and from year to year.

In 15,000 years polaris won't be the north star anymore and Polaris hasn't always been the north star.

This is the root issue with you flerfs, you arrogantly and ignorantly insist that your foolish assumptions are true without bothering to check that they actually are.

The even bigger problem with you flerfs though is that the next time a thread like this comes up you'll be in it saying exactly the same thing you said here even though you've been handed the information to prove your own statement wrong.

There's not much people can do to help those who don't want to be helped.

You fuckin dummy... From YOUR OWN LINK

"The principal movement of the stars within the disk portion of the Galaxy is the Keplerian motion: the closer the star is to the gravitational center (the nucleus of the Galaxy), the faster it moves. "

Even your own link outright says that they may appear to be fixed and unmoving but they actually aren't.

Fuck you suck at research
