Even when they look south?
its over the horizon
So they look in the opposite direction and see the same thing?
stars circle overhead around the north star
Ok. But observable evidence says they rotate around two points.
One observer in the north sees them rotating around Polaris while looking northwards. The other observer is in the south and sees them rotating around Sigma Octantis (approximately) while looking southwards.
So, two points.
On opposite ends of the sky.
yea, its my belief that sigma octantis which is empty and can't be seen is actually Polaris
But it's on the opposite side of the sky
And its always south, which the FE map says is a different direction depending upon where you are. So Sigma Octantis/Polaris is in a completely different location depending upon where you are?
polaris is out of view, but you can see the stars that circling it in the south
Why the south? Why not the north?
there is no octantis
at least this is my theory
I'm not an expert on what happens in the sky
I know for a fact that the sun rotates around flat earth as does the moon
both the same size
Well the sun is always the same distance away from the observer, since it never appears to change size.
if we lived on a globe then more people would of circumnavigated the globe north to south
the fact that only a handful claim to have done this (and really haven't) shows flat earth
How do you know they haven't?
that is another point, it shouldn't be cold in the south if we did live on the globe
Do you understand how light angles work?
earth is flat, its not possible to circumnavigate north to south
Wait so the Earth is flat, therefore north-south circumnavigation is impossible, therefore nobody's done it, therefore the Earth is flat?
Or what's your real reason for thinking all the people who say they have are lying?
flat earthers tracked the person who was circumnavigating recently, and based on the tracker they went to the south pole, turned around and came back
Source?
they gave them the circumnavigation credit even though they turned around, which isn't circumnavigation
Source?
<@&484512215764828162> could I have the "Questions everything role"? I had it at one point, maybe on a different account
Could somebody who thinks the Earth is flat attempt to refute this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transglobe_Expedition
1979 isn’t that long ago. Find some documentation of the event. Wikipedia isn’t reliable, I’m afraid...since anyone can post anything they want on there.
@The18thDoctor I would prefer some old magazine articles or news articles.
