You pointed out a small date and time where you think the stars will be visible simultaneously.
You then assume that you are correct that those stars can be seen simultaneously.
You then ask us to come up with a different explanation because you are going to go ahead and assume that your assumption is correct.
Do you see a flaw there?
Q. How can two people on opposite sides of the earth in Australia and South America both see the same South Pole Stars simultaneously?A. The stars in the night sky are only visible simultaneously in these locations during a few months of the year. In those conditions it is questioned whether it is the case that the observers actually see the same stars simultaneously.
I think you're all being somewhat sidetracked...Agreed.
there is no possible amount of distortion (or indeed 'perspective effects') that can explain...Agreed.
Its my understanding that people in northern latitudes see a different set of stars then people in the south.
A. Since those areas are many hours apart from each other, when it is night or dusk for one area it is likely day or dawn for the other. It is questioned whether it is the case that those observers see the same stars simultaneously. Due to the time difference it may be that they see the stars alternately.
By volume, dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases.[8] Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1% at sea level, and 0.4% over the entire atmosphere.
It just so happens the air above our heads is full of water and sand.

... according to FEers, you cannot get to the South Pole. Nobody can scale the wall of ice that blocks access to people, caterpillar trucks and, yes, airplanes...
To our knowledge, no one has been very far past the ice wallTo say "nobody can scale the wall" and attribute it to FEers, is misleading.
If the earth really is rising up, then are celestial bodies like the sun, stars, moon etc also rising up?
Let's assume UA is the reason this video works. Why, then, does the lady talk about playing a game of figuring out where on earth they are flying over? Doesn't this imply they are orbiting and going around the earth?All objects outside of Earth’s UA shielding (ie the sun, the moon) fly over different parts of the Earth. It does not imply that they are orbiting, it implies that they are flying over different parts of the Earth.
I'm here for a serious discussion to challenge the flat earth myth.I totally get this from panicp. With 14 posts I can see that this is true. Keep up the good work panicp!
As an evidence-based scientist, many might disagree with me.
For me, having become aware that this was a thing, it was initially curiosity about how anyone could possibly believe this sort of thing. Found this place, followed some of the threads with interest/exasperation. In the end I signed up. I think there's a principle that things like this should not be left unchallenged.Really? I don't believe it. 1,145 posts! How is it possible you're still here with an answer like this? This answer is good for about 80 posts. 1,145 posts? My friend, you've seen everything there is to see here 10 times over. Why are you still here?
Seems pretty dangerous for Mad Mike Hughes and his steam rocket.
Here is a really cool video about the International Space Station.There is another recent topic dedicated to discussing that video here.
