Hey Tom - if your lines of latitude and longitude are both curved - how does the pole star stay simultaneously in the North for everyone in the northern hemisphere and the southern cross stay in the south for everyone in the southern hemisphere? Local compass directions wouldn't agree with the direction of the pole star...which I think is an observation that even you'll agree has to work out right for your new map to work.
Seems like you can't curve those lines without making exciting new anomalies...right?
I don't see your point. If you are in North America or Europe your compass will align with the magnetic field lines, which are emanating from the North Pole, and therefore North will point to the North Pole. If you are in Australia, the field lines are emanating from the South Pole and your compass will align and South will point to the South Pole.
But we know from observations upon the equinox, the sun rises directly East, and sets directly West. It happens all over the globe in fact. I've directly linked you to two observations showing that.
The sun only rises directly East and sets directly West on the equator during the equinox in the Round Earth model. Again, consider where the sun would set anywhere near the North Pole in RET. It was admitted that the sun doesn't set in the East in the Arctic Circle, and it doesn't just suddenly set in the East just outside of that zone. It is only the equator where the sun, allegedly, sets directly East.
You have not provided any observations from the equator. We cannot say what will happen there.
Already have provided observations, on the Equinox, that the sun does exactly what RE says it should.
None from the equator. RE says that the sun should not set in the east, except for at the equator.
Doesn't matter. Any Earth that has a sun that moves in a circle above it will have this issue, because the sun has to move away from a straight East/West line at some point.
Try harder Tom. Stop deflecting the map issue. The issues' presented here would happen with any map where the sun does a circular orbit over a flat plane. How do you not get that?
Incorrect. The sun can generally rise in the East and set in the West in North America if it is traveling along a circle over a flat plane. The sun rides upon a circle, but from an observer looking at a compass in North America the direction of East is pointing a straight line into infinity. When the sun rises, it is certainly possible to align with the Eastern direction of that compass, and when it sets it is also possible for the sun to align with the Westerly direction of that compass.
The sun's rising over the year will, of course, vary between North-East and South-East, and the setting will vary between North-West and South-West. A simple observation of the sun rising from the East on one of those days is not enough to demonstrate or determine anything.
But the sun doesn't move upon the equatorial line in that model does it? And if it did, even for a day, how does all of Antarctica get sunlight without having it 24 hours at some location, when it's not supposed to? I'm not even going to go into the insanities that result from curving those lines.
So the road isn't oriented, or he has some issue with where he's filming at. There are a LOT of possibilities besides "The Earth is Flat" and that still doesn't explain the second video.
There are a number of books and journals supporting to the bi-polar model, basically anything published by our society in the early 1900's (Then called the Universal Zetetic Society). Lady Blount and Albert Smith (Zetetes) were notable Flat Earth authors supporting the bi-polar model. We were kind enough to provide scanned literature on this website, and on the .org website, for you to pursue if interested in the subject.
