It's just a question I have for globe retards. They always ask me where the edge of the earth is. That answer is pretty obvious. The Antarctic circle. It's a dumb fuckin question. Lol. The disingenuous part is that they are assuming the universe ends at the edge of the Earth if it was flat. It's the equivalent of standing in a giant field and drawing a 2 ft circle in front of you and then having someone ask you where the edge is. Edge of what? Edge of the field or edge of the circle?
I just had a retard ask me that question. I'm just wondering why you globe retards can't grasp that concept?
For your explanation of stars. I'm telling you that your explanation of the stars are wrong.
The facts of the night sky are trivially explained without the use of a compass. Nothing you said changes that. You keep trying to bring in the magnetic pole because you are retarded.
The flat earth theory is that stars exist within the ionosphere which is created by the magnetic field.
Which is completely retarded, as the magnetic poles can be seen to wander, but the fixed stars do not. Regardless, flattard fantasies are irrelevant to basic facts about the night sky. You might as well be talking about dragons and fairies.
>Which is why the southern star trails trivially prove a spherical Earth
They don't.
It's a trivial consequence of a rotating spherical Earth, but makes no sense in Flattard Land.
There is no parallax between the stars.
As I've already said, parallax has been measured, and flattards like you ignore it.
There is also an inverse square law for light that the heliocentric model is ignoring.
More flattard bullshit.
For one, That is a disingenuous argument.
No, it's the REAL argument that corresponds to a turning, spherical Earth, and stars light years away, instead of your flattard bullshit.
Star trails are recorded throughout the night over the course of several hours from a perspective on earth that is rotating a thousand mph, revolving around the sun at 67,000 mph, which is revolving around the Milky Way at 448,000 mph, which is itself traveling at 1.3 million mph, relative to the stars.
Don't forget to include the distances between objects.
Yet I can look at the same exact stars in the same exact layout that the Egyptians were looking at when they built the pyramids.
We don't have precise star charts from the time of the pyramids, flattard, so your use of "exact" here is completely made up. Given the distances to the stars, it's not surprising that basic constellations made up of patterns across the night sky are still recognizable. But the stars positions are moving, as we have measured. Which flattards like you ignore.
But to stick with your mountain example, if you were to record the far-off mountains during a car trip, then played that recording back in fast forward, would the mountains that are closer to you appear to move further? That's called parallax.
No shit, flattard. Hence the distance between you and the mountains is what counts, as I said.
