Flat Earth Theory / Re: Repost: Geocentric? More like Egocentric

I am simply repeating what is stated in the Geocentric model.
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
I suggest you look up some scientific litterature.
To what end? This forum has proved time and again that scientific literature gets treated the same way as any social data does- interpreted loosely enough to satisfy any ends you like.
Shit, you could probably do a bit of digging and find something to support the theory that the earth is a tetrahedron made of fermented crab apples.
I'm a dedicated round-earther. I don't believe for a second that the earth is flat. All I'm saying by referencing the elephant and blind man story, is that individual perception is not necessarily a firm basis for truth.
Individual observation, or personal interpretation of said observation doesn't necessarily make for scientific data.
Sometimes the truth can't be directly observed.
Really? Proven huh? Are you one of those who thinks all space travel is faked too?
My first post was not trolling at all, it was sarcasm to imply how flat earthers think science works, just because they don't understand science they get scared of it, I don't blant them. But you can't read every article posted on "I fucking love science" because that's a lot of sci-fi speculations, other science media too. Try gong to a library instead, maybe you'll find some proper science papers there.
Above: evidence that round earthers are so blinded by their own virtiol that they don't even realize when they're arguing with another round earther.
what is it's energy source?The earth is the sun's source. We are all in it together.

Wait.. The earth fuels the sun??what is it's energy source?The earth is the sun's source. We are all in it together.
The sun is just a focus of energy much similar to the bright spot that burns ants as you hold a magnifying glass above them.
If you can grasp that the energy burning the ants is NOT a physical object, then you can begin to understand that sun that turns above your head.
I have been reading about the "spotlight sun"
How does the spotlight create enough heat to melt Tarmac, buckle railway lines, what is it's energy source?
Unknown. There have been several assumptions made about the sun's energy source even among round earth scientists. In the 1800s, it was presumed that the gas pressure and the sun's own gravity created the heat. The mathematics involved implied that the age of the sun was 32 million years.
Today, the assumption that hydrogen fusion is the source of the energy implies that the age of the sun is about 4-5 billion years.
Both were considered correct at the time, neither may be accurate. We just don't know. (and that's okay!)
Yes because stars are very far away. Some stars change slight in position due to earth's orbit. We can use this angle of change and the distance earth has moved to calculate the distance to these stars. The tecnique is called star parallax and only works on relative close stars, within a hundred light years.
Thank you for your answer, but this is not what I am asking.
You asked if star maps are 100% accurate when earth is on the other side if the sun. I answered yes. But the real 100% answer is of course no, the star maps are not 100% accurate. But the star parallax is so small and only detctable through telescopes, so the angle of change is neglectable.
How do you know that these star maps are '100 %' accurate?
As an amataur astronomer, I use star maps almost every day.
You probably misunderstood the question, but thanks for your opinion.
I have read your question many times now, and you ask very specific as I have interpreted:
Are star maps accurate throughout the year? And my experience is yes, star charts, as you call them, are accurate even tho earth has moved. And it's not just my opinion, ask any astronomer.
I know that you can see the stars throughout the year as shown on star maps, but that's not what I mean.
Let's see if other people understand it. Maybe Flat Earthers can, as they are not assuming all kind of things.
Thanks anyway!
