The globe model just has more intuitive sense, it's the occam's razor approved choice. Basically the earth is rotating at 1,070mph on a fixed, tilted axis, and it's orbiting the sun at 66,627 mph, but the orbit isn't an equal circle, it's actually an elliptical, so it actually moves around the sun faster when it's closer (although we don't feel this change in speed). But also, the earth doesn't orbit perfectly, and it actually makes one rotation a year

Oh and the sun is orbiting the milky way at 500,000+mph. I mean you'd have to be a fucking idiot not to believe that.

This is a very arrogant attitude. The core of science is about observation, we have the ability to observe the rotation of the earth its orbit around the sun. If we could see real video footage of this, then the theory can be considered pretty much fact.

Why do we only have CGI when we could have the real thing? That seems extremely odd to me. It's not like it'd be very expensive at all compared to what going to the moon or mars would be.

Ok, the water at the edge of the pool is moving at a different velocity than the floor of the pool near the center. So when that water with a greater velocity approaches the center of the pool, the discrpenacy in their velocities will make them diverge, causing a swirl effect.

Also what you're asking for sort of already exists. For instance the "pale blue dot" photo (pic related). Also more distant images from voyager 1. Granted these are just photos not video. But the scale of things makes it impractical anything. In pic related you can barely see the earth and the sun still isn't in view. Also recording from the moon wouldn't really be good evidence.

If you take the view that it is the universe revolving around us, then it makes sense. The North and South poles have stars that rotate in opposite directions over them. Opposite poles, opposite rotations.

When you're in the northern "hemisphere", you can only see the stars that are above you in that area, you cannot see beyond the vanishing point anywhere on earth. If you fly to the souther "hemisphere", you will be looking up at a different part of the sky, and will see different stars rotating in a different direction. It's pretty simple.

At the equator, you can see the stars rotating in different directions around two fixed points in the sky. If the earth was spherical, you would have to look north or south stars rotating in different directions, not how the pic shows.

>> No.9435800

Any time you lose relative to the background stars in 6 months, you gain back in the next 6 months.
Any timeshift you would notice is also lost due to the tilt of the earth to the ecliptic which eats time in the morning and at night. If the earth had no tilt with respect to its orbit you would notice the lag then the lead in sunrise and sunset with respect to sidereal time.

The twelve hours difference you lose relative to an arbitrary starting point shows up in the difference between the time lost or gained in the morning or the evening which is only even twice a year.
If we weren't going around the sun, the shorter then longer days from the tilt of the earth, (or from a flat earther's - earthcentric perspective, the change in path of the sun) would be equally losing time in the morning and at night.

So the answer is we do lose 12 hours, but we gain it back, and that shows up in the uneven shrinking or lengthening of our days between the sunrise time lost or gained and the sunset loss or gain.

But it does. Your latitude will determine the position of the celestial poles.
Stand at the North Pole at 90°N latitude and the North Celestial Pole will be 90° above the horizon which is straight up. The stars will never go under the horizon at that latitude and will seem to rotate counter clockwise around the Celestial Pole.

Stand on the Equator at 0° latitude and the North Celestial Pole will now be 0° above the horizon to the North and the same goes for the South Celestial Pole but it will be to the South. The stars will rotate counter clockwise around the North Celestial Pole and clockwise around the South Celestial Pole. Stars Rising in the East will seem to make a big arc towards the West.

Stand at the South Pole at 90°S latitude and the stars will behave like they did on the North Pole except that they will rotate clockwise instead of counter clockwise. The stars will never go under the horizon here as well.

The fact that the celestial poles elevation matches your latitude is proof that the Earth is a sphere. It simply can't work on a flat plane and feel free to prove me wrong.

When facing east or west, think about where the north and south pole stars are in relation to you. They're directly north and south, you should not be able to see the movements they do on a spherical earth.

actually, it's not.

the field aligns it'self with the earth's spin, as it is created by the earth's spin.

the spin of the stars is also caused by the spin of the earth.

so, not a coincidence at all, actually.

you have a table to your right and a couch to your left.

you can see both the couch and the table if you just look such that the couch can be seen on the left side of your vision and the table on the right side. you don't have to pick either the couch or the table to look at.

>The sun is in the middle setting at Equinox (the equator).

The image was taken near Teide Observatory at the Canary Islands which is around 28.3° North latitude so the North Celestial Pole is 28.3° above the horizon to the North and you can clearly see that the celestial pole is above the horizon in the image. If the image was taken at the equator the pole would be touching the horizon and it's clearly not.

Also, equinox does not mean geographical equator. It's the time of year when the Sun is located at the CELESTIAL equator which results in equal day and night all over the globe. The Sun will also rise exactly East and set at exactly West no matter your latitude.

You have a cloudy understanding of all this.

A year is actually about 365.25 days, every 4 years we have a "leap year" which adds a day at the end of feburary... in addition to this, we have daylight savings time with adds or subtracts an hour during the solstice.

Other than that, the sun rises earlier and sets later in summer, and rises later and sets earlier in winter.

So, there is all sort of fluctuation in the actual length of the time constants we use to measure the passage of days or years...

but the earth is still rotating at the same speed, so your question doesn't matter.

Which says:
>The trails of the sun and stars are captured on one image taken from Teide Observatory (IAC) in the Canary Islands. As explained by the photographer "this image was made during the spring equinox of 2010. A full format DSLR with a fisheye lens were placed in a fixed position toward the west. First I made exposures for the Sun every 30 seconds with a solar filter placed on the lens during about 6 hours (the bold rectilinear trail the sun). After sunset, exposures were made continuously (30 seconds each) to capture the motion of stars for about 5 hours. Then all images (almost 16 GB of data) were combined with computer. The distortion of the fisheye lens was also fixed. The resulting image captures the moment the sun passes the celestial equator (the bright trail of the sun also marks the equator). Startrails on each celestial hemisphere (North and South) are curved in the opposite direction. To the right is the North Star, the Polaris. The building on the right is the solar laboratory "Pyramid Van der Raay" (known as Pyramid) which studies the sun's interior by Helioseismology. In the background is the Teide volcano (3710 m) and right on the horizon is La Palma island. Juan Carlos Casado/Starryearth.com

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 most recently and proliferately, the juvenile-level troller. They are easily identified by posting memes that ostensibly 'prove' a round Earth is false, but the geometry, maths, logic, and facts are so absurdly wrong that you feel compelled to display your superior intelligence and knowledge, and so you respond. You've taken the bait. They have only insulting or provocative responses to your reasoned posts, or claim you're a 'shill' for some silly conspiracy. They actually have no interest in the concept of flat or round Earth at all. It's all about the lulls at getting you to respond.

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. Their only tactic is to disavow any science or proofs put forward. You're probably going to use information that is readily available (and they could have looked up). Then you're called a 'shill' and your argument is dismissed.

believe it or not there are people who think in words, with what is described as an "inner voice" acting as a sort of narrator to their thought process, and based on what i've heard it's pretty much most of the population. i feel bad for the normies.

one extreemly retarded redditor didn't beleive me when i said that i do not have any words "inside my head", even when i read, and rebutted "durrr if u don't think in words then how are you writing this rite now??". again, i feel very very the normies.
