The most common flat earth model is also compatible

i.e. when they do the sailing race around Antarctica, from west to east, they have to turn to the right

to stay on course,

Which eliminates any possibility of the ice wall

The common flat earth model has the north pole in the center

right, but that model fails lots of other places

thus the course correction leads to a circle around the noth pole

24 hrs sun in antarctica in January for example

@Wolfgang Goyim Ron's got a new name

How do we get star trails on this?

B/c that's what happens when that motion exits

Why is that a question

Also

A common FE argument is that Polaris doesn't move, but in the globe earth model, it actually does very very slowly, so slowly that it's imperceptible over short timeframes. In 3000 BC, Thuban was the north star, and circa 320 BC, Pytheas said that the north celestial pole was devoid of stars. A complete cycle of the precession of the equinoxes takes over 25,000 years.

@SiliconBassist Thats not right

Polaris moves in a circle over one night, just like all the other stars

it does

You're right about teh precession though

That's different

OIc what you're saying

There's also this :

One star in particular is moving quickly enough to pick up in our lifetime

What star is that?

And yeah, i didn't mean the circular movement seen every night

Although that circle is currently getting smaller as Polaris moves closer to the north celestial pole iirc

Barnard's star

Ah

That gif shows literally *years* of orbital motion. A star trails timelapse is 7 hours long.

Polaris moves. You finally got it right

@SiliconBassist what the circular path of polaris is getting smaller?

Yeah. From Earth's perspective, Polaris is slowly getting closer to the north celestial pole which causes the circular path in which it appears to follow to shrink.

I need to fact check this though, but I'm busy with an essay atm

i believe the earth is flat

The flat earth theorem is quite impossible and laughably humiliating in the sense that for the earth to be an closed sphere the annual temperature would have to be included within the subdivision of the hypothetical isothermal metaphysical type B class stationary geological stone. I find ur lack of common knowledge on the subject pathetic and humorous that u could ever think a planet could be flatter than ur mom

so to solve this basically, i reverted the existential vertebrate to the half uneaten rectangular rectum to extract the remaining peptonic isotope while managing to avoid the asmyptote

ok

The potential exuberant latency within the withering hypochondriac is quite felicitous Tim however ur part about peptonic isotopes could be changed to external string connectors under the flux compactors

Flat earth is not a theory
It’s a measurement and a observation
