>immediate empirical perception yields a flat model of earth

Why does anyone even think this? How could this account for the horizon? Yes, you can see forever actually (and you are now aware of the fact that you always are seeing into infinity). The limiting factor is resolution, things far in the distance become microscopically tiny. This means that looking over a body of water, you would see static, being significant of the landforms across the body of water. The vanishing point isn't an overlapping point. You cannot have pic related on a flat earth. Really, you needn't defer to authority to see, at the very least, the flat earth model must itself have a curvature such as that of a hemisphere or the like. How do you people breath?

>> No.9684718

I guess nobody here probably believes flat earth but I've already given up on /x/. You couldn't convince them that you yourself existed, even if you beat their asses to a pulp. I'm just wasting my breath, I suppose.

>> No.9684814

People never seem to realise that the horizon line is at your eye level when you look out at sea as shown in your pic. On the globe model, this would mean that the ocean actually rises to your eye level, before suddenly curving down.

But on the flat model, this is expected, because that's how our perspective works, it forces everything to converge into the horizon line.

Not the guy you were tlking to, but thius is a moronic argument to make. Standing on either a huge-ass sphere or a huge-ass disc, the horizon will appear the same -- a set of points between the sky and the land/sea that appears equidistant from you in all directions, barring nearby mountains or trees or shit.

In other words, a circle.

If you don;t believe it is a circle, ex-plain to me another way to construct a connected series of points that wraps 360 degrees around you and are equidistant to the limits of your ability to discern distance.

And, to preempt later foolishness, the same thing happens if you get in a rocket and go up -- whether the Earth is a sphere or a disc, you see the same shape -- a circle, which, as you gain altitude, is more and more noticeably "beneath" you.

Octans is ALWAYS due south, from anywhere in the southern hemisphere, it contains the Celestial South Pole. But, as shown in the illustration, due South is in radically different directions.

How can a constellation in the sky always be due south, no matter where or when it is viewed from, in your flat Earth model?

Minor correction, Polaris is not a constellation, it is a star (with companions, but you can't see them with the naked eye that is very close to the North celestial pole. So it stays almost in the same place in the sky all night, every night, in the northern hemisphere.

Despite the many different movements the earth is making. Rotating on its axis, orbiting the sun at 66,600mph, the sun is orbiting the galaxy at 500,000+mph, and the galaxy is moving at a million plus mph. Just absurd.

A charter. Be prepared to pay out the ass, though. For obvious reasons, nobody flies a regularly scheduled service there. Some of the more obvious reasons are:

1) Flights over the Antarctic region have to carry survival gear for everybody on board. This is heavy and expensive.

2) No emergency airports for lanfding for way too long, which is a safety issue.

3) Population centers that would be connected by a great circle routs over the antarctic are few, and generally have very small populations, more economical to use the same "hub and spokes" system airlines use everywhere else.

But in any case, to you can fly into the South Pole as linked above, if you offer them enough money, I imagine the'll fly you out by going on across. Be ready to pay hu8ndreds of thousands, though, as they wind up with a plane badly out of position and, unless they have a plane full that wants to go with you, you'll be the only passenger -- their normal passengers want to go back where they started form, where they parked there car and shit. You're being too poor (or too smart) to spend that kind of money to do it is not evidence that it is impossible.

Also, I notice you've moved the goalposts again -- from "Can't Fly to the South Pole" to "Can't Fly Across Antarctica" to "Can't Buy a Ticket to Fly Across Antarctica." You will now claim that the addition of "On a Regularly Scheduled Airline Flight." finally proves something.

>Octans rotates around different positions/directions in the sky therefore it is in the same direction all the time? Makes no sense.

It would make no sense IF it was what happened. It rotates around a point inside the constellation, the Southern Celestial Pole. It always does, and that is Due South, all night, every night, everywhere in the Southern Hemisphere.


>Why is it most visible in October, when Polaris is always visible?

This is wrong. It is always visible in the southern sky, due south, whenever it is dark in the Southern Hemisphere. It is never visible in the Northern Hemisphere. Polaris is always visible at night in the Northern Hemisphere. It is never visible in the Southern Hemisphere.

October has nothing to do with it, though it may well be in October that the brightest stars in the constellation are furthest from the horizon during the dark hours in October. So the constellation may be easier to recognize then.

Unless you are going to stop arguing that observed phenomena that can be seen by anybody in the southern hemisphere are not real, and move on to explaining how you can have a north celestial pole and a south celestial pole, each only visible in their hemispheres, and the northern one is always due north while the southern one is always due south, then I'm done arguing side issues.

That is exactly how you could confirm where you are, which is what was asked.. You are at the southernmost point on a globe, you can tell because the sun is doing what it is predicted to do at that time under that model. It is doing NOTHING like what it would be predicted to do under the flat model, other than at the North Pole half a year earlier/later.

At that point, you either are where they say you are, on a globe, or you have to modify your already Rube Goldbergish theory to add that !!!they!!! have time travel.

>> No.9686840

>>9686829
Depends on the model. If the horizon drops below eye-level as you ascend, infinite plane is impossible. But few flatists still try and use infinite plane models anyway.

In looking at a disc vs a globe, the RATE at which it moves below eye level as you ascend is different, but that requires using math, which is not allowed in flat Earth discussions.

Because it proves that the horizon will obscure things that are far into the distance even though the horizon isn't actually higher than what it is blocking. Hence globalists thinking that boats go over a curve or the sun rises from below the horizon, it's just perspective at play.

It is a fast and dirty amateur set up, but the fact that you do not understand what it is showing you does not invalidate it.

>>>9686797 (You)
>Why would they go "around" Antarctica?

Because they want to get from point A to Point B,and safety concerns make flying directly over a poor choice. Alternative factor they may be using -- "Sightseers! Fly with us to get beautiful vies of Antarctica! Sure, we'll charge you lots extra, but rich tourists pat extra for shit all the time." They may use a more subtle sales pitch than mine. Neither of those reasons contradict the fact tat commercial flights over the pole make no economic sense.

You say. I say you are retardedly wrong.

But go look.

I'll wait.

BIf you are standing there, you can look and see for yourself -- does the sun dwindle into the distance and disappear like flatists say it will from any point deep in Antarctica around the summer solstice? Or will it circle low over the horizon,never setting, just like it does in the Northern Hemisphere, deep in the arctic, in the northern summer and as predicted by the globe model to happen in the south as well?

That answers what I was asked about how you'd know where you were.

At this point you move the goalposts again, I guess.

you can't start arguments with only two possible contradictory conclusions with "if x conclusion is true then y" because in either direction, that means you're assuming one of the two conclusions in your hypothesis

direct imperial observation leads to questions about what we've been lead to believe and answers to those questions are the only way forward

>>9686864
humans have an innate science forming capacity and the ability to form (often incorrect) explanatory theories for what we observe about the world. it has happened countless times in history specifically with significant scientific implications, and really the only way forward is to hope that somebody comes along later to fill in whatever inconsistencies left in you've concluded. remember when we thought the solar system was heliocentric?

There are two models under discussion, with two radically different predictions of what the sun will be seen to do in the sky at midsummer from deep in the Antarctic region.

Yeah, if you go there and it does neither, I guess you should come up with a new third model.

But if you see something other than what EITHER model under discussion predicts, that would be evidence against that model. What everyone who has been there has seen agrees with the prediction of the globe model, and is radically different from what is predicted by the flat model. But if you want to badly enough, go look, see if you notice something they missed.

I know it's trying to prove something it can't, so it has no choice but to cheat, but it's glaringly obvious. The horizon always remains at eye level no matter your height. The horizon should never be at your eye level on the globe model even if you were standing up because it has to slope down in every direction.

>safety concerns

What do governments want? Power? Control? I think that's pretty obvious. A globe earth makes this much easier because there's nowhere else to go. It also means limited resources which the monetary system relies upon. A population who doesn't believe in a higher power is also much easier to control. It's a genius psy-op.

Here's the deal: there are three types of Flat Earthers who regularly post to 4Chan: prankster intellectuals who troll to test your knowledge and debate skills, literal Bible interpreters, and recently most proliferately: the juvenile-level troller.

None of them provide any evidence of phenomena that *require* a flat Earth model to explain, but rather place the onus on you to prove the round Earth (again, and again, and again, ...) while disavowing any science or proofs put forward. They will post memes that ostensibly 'prove' some flaw in the round Earth model, but containing geometry, maths, logic, and facts so absurdly wrong that you are compelled to display your superior intelligence and knowledge. Mostly though they will provoke you with the classic, "If you don't respond, you're a faggot and you prove me right." By responding, you've taken the bait.

It is simply impossible to keep up with having to explain away the barrage of stupid posts, and the anonymous mask of 4Chan removes culpability for the prankster and enables this crap. Arguing is akin to painting over mud - you just end up with a dirty brush.

Because they need to be at a safe distance of an airport at all times in case something goes wrong. They're also making a stop in some small island to improve tourism.

Go rent a private plane then. You'll need a metric ton of money because going over Antarctica is a logistic nightmare.

>>9686914
>What makes flying over the north pole so much safer than the south "pole"?
It's smaller. You can go over the North Pole and still be at a safe distance of an airport at all times, even then, only a handful of planes can do it and wasn't authorised until recently.

>As if you can go deep into Antarctica
Other anon has already destroyed you in this point. He even told you where to book a fly there. That's why you moved the goalpost from flying "to" to flying "over" Antarctica.
