firmament is described in the bible
seperates the waters above from the waters below, and is the floor of Heaven.
the sun and moon are in the firmament
Its basically a giant dome like structure that covers flat earth, and stops anyone from going too far south
its one of the reasons why you can't circumnavigate flat earth going north to south, beyond the fact that its flat so going south doesn't lead back to north.
What about southern stars? Using a telescope, you can see that the Southern Celestial Pole never moves. And this same point in the sky is seen by all people in the southern hemisphere. But on the FE "model", "south" is in all different directions. Explain?
there is no southern hemisphere
So everything south of the Equator is fake?
you have people in land that is too far away from the north star, so they don't see it
so they see stars circling an empty location
since the north star is too far to see
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
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
Or they haven't because, just maybe, it's really cold?
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
