polaris and the rotation of the stars

I know, as a new (and serious) enquirer into the Flat Earth Theory, I was utterly shocked and appalled at the behaviour of the Admins on IFERS. I was immediately accused of trying to 'promote Ball Earth bullsh*t' and those accusations soon gave way to me being labeled a 'shill' for the Globe Model.

That is only Eric Dubeys little ego cult though, there are other places where the Flat Earth Theory is being discussed and examined in a serious and open manner., like here :-)

Ah ok yes maybe that wasn't a good way of putting it. I mean the common sense way of explaining why people in the South CANT see Polaris is because of perspective, and that makes sense. But in a flat model, the viewer would have to be able to see further than the distance from the equator to polaris, if they were to be able to see the concentric circle patterns surrounding the southern circumpolar stars from South America as well as Australia.

[EDITED]

phoenixthezetete Why does the sky have to be Flat or a dome...why could it not be like a really big flat bowl...

No no...what I am saying is not dome-like...but...UPSIDE-DOWN dome-like large bowl

Well look that is all well and good, but the Globe model of the world is too preposterous to be believed, that's out...so there must be an explanation to this "circumpolar" star trail situation

Sun is round. Moon is round AND on clear nights a STAR can be seen through it...so not solid OR "meteor beaten"...it is the lesser light. There are no "planets", just stars that the pagans named after their demons. And with the use of a simple sextent we know the sun is not 93million miles away.

And you have no PROOF to confirm what you believe outside of your faith in the words of a gang of demon worshiping pagans. While I have the Saints of God, Holy Spirit inspired men who were used to physically write the Bible.

The reasoning? Have you ever used a sextent?

Just to get back to Pole Stars; this is an updated video quicjky and very simply explaining the Pole Star Problem. Please give it a watch, it's less than 5 minutes long :-)

Bear in mind I didn't make the video, and so I woud not say that what we see is impossible on a flat earth. But I have never seen a plausible model that explains it.

Flat Earth's Greatest Challenge: Southern Stars - YouTube

Still no answer to this on here or the IFERS board :-(

here's an interesting model showing how the southern stars are possible from a flat earth perspective:

Answer to the Southern Pole Star.....The Southern cross called Crux is always accompanied by two pointing stars called pointers. The southern cross travels around what global earthers call the south celestial pole – and what flat (circle) earthers call the artic circle that encompasses the circle of the earth and is what bounds the ocean waters. The southern cross rotates in the southern points in the sky. Regardless of its rotation, you can always find it by its’ pointer stars.
The pointer stars are most important. They shine bright and always point to the Crux or southern cross making it possible to always find exactly which group of stars are the correct southern cross or Crux. To find south, find the middle of the pointer stars, then point directly to the bottom star of the cross, then make an imaginary extended line for the bottom star and the pointer stars ( extending out about four and a half times from the bottom star on the cross) The imaginary lines will come to a cross over point. From this crossover point, due south is directly below. The misinformation is in thinking it will point to the south pole. It will always point downward to the south – the south period. South is everything below the north and on the flat earth model, it works pointing south in each of its' rotations that the tail of the southern cross tale points be it pointing to the east, west, north or south. In summary: At the point where the cross and pointer stars connect, or where it forms a V shape along the imaginary lines, this will be the point where due south is directly below it. The southern cross is a celestial direction to find the North. A southern compass so to speak. No matter where you go on the circle of the earth, the constellations will always show you a way to find the north. You can find the north from anywhere on the earth through constellations. In the North – Polaris and Ursa Major; in the middle of the earth – Orion; in the South – the southern cross or Crux and pointer stars. You can also find north in the northern hemisphere with the constellations of Cassiopeia. You can find north with the summer triangle, with the sun and moon. You can always find north anywhere on the earth. You can find North with a wrist watch. Why? Because the earth is a circle just like the watch face. The entire clock face was based on the Astrolabe which was the precursor to the compass, and the modern version of the sun dial for keeping time. The astrolabe had all the constellations and by turning different layers on the Astrolabe you could find all the constellations as well as due north. The astrolabe was also used as a calculator- it was also the first computer. Latitudes and longitudes were determined by an astrolabe.
The time clock mimicked the manner in which the sun and the moon rotates around the circle of the earth. The long hand moves around faster this models the speed the sun moves in 24 hours. The short hand mimics the moon which moves around slower. All navigation was done with the Astrolabe. This could never have worked with the spinning globe model. Only a flat circle earth model. In short – Astrolabes were the GPS system. It still works the same to this very day. The earth is a flat circle.
Hope this answers the questions concerning the global argument of the southern pole star.
