No they dont look straight

2019-02-06 23:06:19 UTC  

Show me straight star trails away from the equator

2019-02-06 23:07:50 UTC  

How straight, for each trail to be straight?

2019-02-06 23:09:32 UTC  

Ima eat then brb

2019-02-06 23:24:34 UTC  

They would all be straight if you were on a spinning ball

2019-02-06 23:29:54 UTC  

Watch the video. There is more to it then what I've said

2019-02-07 03:01:53 UTC  

Ok, now I get what you're saying.
The photo at 4:53 is using a wide angled lens I think, but the other photos, that's just how it would look on a spinning ball. The star trails you made on paper would look like straight lines, but that isn't the perspective people take photos from on Earth. If you drew the star trails *on* the ball, not away from it, then the stars would curve away from the equator because those stars aren't on the equator. Only the stars on the equator make straight lines.

2019-02-07 03:03:32 UTC  

Stars basically curve away from the equator because they aren't aligned with the equator, or not on the equator, so they're "trailing" but angled away from the equator

2019-02-07 03:04:08 UTC  

It's hard to explain because it's mostly visual, but try drawing it from the perspective of being on the ball, and it would do the same thing.

2019-02-07 03:33:48 UTC  

Perspective. That's a new one for the globe theory 😂

2019-02-07 05:39:21 UTC  

Im not talking about the perspective formula or whatevs, Im talking about the angle at which you look at something

2019-02-07 05:40:03 UTC  

From the angle you drew on paper, the lines are straight. From the perspective of standing *on* the ball, it would look the same as in the photos.

2019-02-07 05:40:47 UTC  

You're drawing the star trails from a different perspective than the actual photos

2019-02-07 05:44:37 UTC  

Quick question: @Citizen Z you said that the stars follow paths similar to that of a magnetic field. Slight problem with that, a flat Earth can't have two magnetic poles that would result in a field of that shape, because South has to always point outwards. Since the south pole would be stretched out over the ice wall, kind of like a ring magnet, you wouldn't get the patterns seen above, because there's no pole for the stars to move around.

2019-02-07 06:30:14 UTC  

yeh, same reason why a southern polar star is impossible on a flat Earth yet it exists

2019-02-07 12:22:25 UTC  

Think of a bar magnet

2019-02-07 12:25:05 UTC  

Yes, I am thinking of a bar magnet. The problem is that it doesn't work. A bar magnet has two distinct poles, around which the field can form. A flat Earth does not have two distinct poles around which that field can form.

2019-02-07 12:32:45 UTC  

Yes we do. The north and south

2019-02-07 12:33:12 UTC  

And where is the South Pole located on the Flat Earth map?

2019-02-07 12:34:39 UTC  

Who said I had a map

2019-02-07 12:38:34 UTC  

We dont know exactly how it could work. We just know something ain't right. I was asked for an explanation of how the stars could work. I think I've provided an alternative. I wont be able to answer every question obviously. I just find it interesting how it looks

2019-02-07 12:51:33 UTC  

And uh, the star movements don't match Earth's magnetic field... They match the field of a magnet if that magnet was up in the sky, causing the stars to move around it.

2019-02-07 12:52:02 UTC  

I also appreciate how interesting it looks though.

2019-02-07 12:53:24 UTC  

Right

2019-02-07 12:53:52 UTC  

Think of a bar magnet in the sky

2019-02-07 19:31:39 UTC  

hello yes I wish to debate

2019-02-07 19:34:05 UTC  

hello yes debate?

2019-02-07 19:34:32 UTC  

yeah but i might take a few to respond

2019-02-07 19:34:42 UTC  

goodbye no agreement

2019-02-07 19:34:45 UTC  

not sure if anyone else will join but they are welcome

2019-02-07 19:34:48 UTC  

earth is round

2019-02-07 19:35:03 UTC  

no, it cant be due to sight distances.

2019-02-07 19:35:11 UTC  

wdym sight distances

2019-02-07 19:36:20 UTC  

the fact if the earth was round we would be able to see as far

2019-02-07 19:36:24 UTC  

as we do

2019-02-07 19:36:47 UTC  

so you're saying the earth is round

2019-02-07 19:38:13 UTC  

round like a pizza with stuffed crust

2019-02-07 19:38:25 UTC  

uh
