Relatively new to the FET. And I'm enjoying every second of reading about it. It's fascinating and makes a whole lot more sense than what has been spoon fed to us. Hopefully I don't step on anyone toes with my post. And if this specific topic has been discussed, please direct me to the answer.
I'm not into religion but I do believe the Bible (it is a man made book after all) has a more accurate description of Earth and how it looks/works based off the simple minded straightforwardness of the writers at that place in time when the book was being written. Their depiction of the "Firmament" (which is just another word for "shield") and such things that can't be explained they gave a "Godly" answer to because that is what they believed at that time. I think both sides hold some truth to them but the Bible is more accurate when it comes to what our world maybe look like.
Now we have to figure out how big our world is. If the North Star really is the center of OUR Earth system, does everything expand out beyond the horizon? Beyond us? Beyond Antartica? I doubt our system just happens to be the center of EVERYTHING so I doubt we're the only domed system. How far does it go? Is Antarctica the end of our domed Earth system and there are more beyond? One large flat ice universe with circular domed plane-t systems of all different sizes like Earth that exist within? Perhaps the "shield" has a pocket or pockets that let us through to the large ice universe so we are able to get to these other systems? Does anyone have any theories?
Everyone seems to figure out what our Flat Earth looks like but what about our flat UNIVERSE?

FE theorists don't actually have a map that they'll stand behind because none exists; it's impossible to project a sphere onto a flat map while preserving all distances (and thus if they stand behind a particular map, some genius Round Earther will find a pair of cities whose distance in real life doesn't match with the map). They also believe that the Sun is 32 miles wide (it can't be or it would run out of energy because nuclear fusion can't happen); they believe that the Sun is a spotlight because reasons; they believe in 2-3 forms of gravitation, none of which are gravity; they believe that space is non-isotropic even though they refuse to believe that their eyes could just not be big enough to see the roundness of a very small section of a sphere.
If you check out the wiki, you can get an idea of the FE beliefs in terms of the accelerating universe (which they believe to be 3D -- and all the celestial bodies to be round) and the azimuthal equidistant projection map. You can see the seasons and such explained by some (wrong) physics. The notion of a dome over the Earth has not been finalized to the best of my knowledge, as some believe that satellites are real. I've read the Bible, and nowhere in it does it say there's a literal dome above the Earth, and I don't think FE has agreed on this. But they generally believe that the Earth is a circular disk (with Antarctica surrounding us as an ice wall) under some acceleration (or just magical force pulling us one way, as per Einstein's equivalence principle).
But if you want to see our beautiful blue marble in space, here's a picture taken from the Moon.

Beautiful isn't it?

The idea of methods of passage between this dome and others along an ice plane interests me greatly. By going further along in that vein, it becomes obvious that aliens, if they exist, would not come from above, but from the side (or the south pole, if you still believe in a round earth).
This opens a good number of questions. If aliens could enter from the side, then a very good way to disguise that fact would be to hide the existence of that side entirely. Conspiracy nuts the world over are looking for how NASA is covering up having made extraterrestrial contact and are pointing their telescopes upwards - that would make it a lot easier to hide something along the ice wall!!

Thanks for the responses.

The side of us or as some have pointed out, below us. Perhaps both? It's very interesting. I don't know if I can support the idea that we're the center of it all. That would be a huge coincidence. But Domed systems within an Ice plane and we just happen to be one of them... sounds kind of plausible. But it doesn't answer why we're here or who/what put us here.

long post
Yes, you think the earth is round, and that is wonderful. No need to make sure we all know in every thread. If you have nothing to actually add, then refrain from posting. Warned.

Celestial experiment perhaps? Maybe the other domes are filled with people with slight variations.
Or perhaps the entire system is simply a flower garden for a much higher entity.
Unfortunately, all we can do is speculate.
