So... Can I assume that I just debunked the flat earth theory? Is nobody here able to properly explain to me how it is possible on a flat earth to see the sun in South America and Australia while, at the same time, it is night at the north pole? And please stop messing this thread up with discussions about the south pole, you can open another thread to argue these issues.
Why stop with "How can the sun be seen more than 12 hours a day in the southern hemisphere?" Why not "How can the sun be seen 24 hours a day at both the North Pole and the South Pole on the same date?" No problem, it happens for a few days around every equinox! At the equinoxes the sun just skirts a little above the horizon all day at both poles. I do believe that "timeanddate.com" is so widely used that anyone seriously questioning its accuracy would be scorned.
As for "Can I assume that I just debunked the flat earth theory?", probably, but they will completely ignore it, claim that there are really two suns ( with exactly the same sunspots patterns? ) claim we are lying or simply "prove it"! | Take a look at this day/night diagram: Day and Night World Map The map below shows the current position of the Sun and the Moon. It shows which parts of the Earth are in daylight and which are in night. UTC time = Monday, 21 March 2016 at 12:00:00 Noon. South Pole local time = Tuesday, 22 March 2016 at 1:00:00 AM. |
BTW You complain "stop messing this thread up with discussions about the south pole".
Last I heard the south pole was in the southern hemisphere and the thread is: "How can the sun be seen more than 12 hours a day in the southern hemisphere?"
Sorry bavcol and rabinoz,
I didn’t mean to derail the thread, but I thought the topic about “Sun in Rio Grande – dark in Europe – Sun in Adelaide – all at the same time” was relevant for the discussion.
I came here to seek independent information about the nature of our World, since I certainly don’t believe governmental institutions are independent. So thanks to TFES for setting up the site!
However, I have been very disappointed with the quality level of the answers being posted here. I’m starting to doubt the independency and integrity of TFES. You are putting all freethinkers, like the 9/11 truthers, in an extremely bad light. Very convenient for the US government..
- Why is it that nobody from TFES exists in real life? All other truthers proudly stand behind their thinking.
Who are sponsoring your activities?
Why did Obama make ‘free commercial’ for TFES? Would have been more logical for him to just ignore you!?
Why do you avoid reflecting on obvious observations and questions like the ones in this thread? Seems to me like you’re just working from a pre-made manuscript, and are not distracted by any input/insights/observations. Seems like it can’t be goofy enough.
Can TFES proof that you’re not just paid by the US government as an excuse to put all other freethinkers in the same nutcase basket as TFES? Are you professional trolls?
And now back to the question about how we can see the sun in South America and Australia (but not in Europe) at the same time? I would like to understand this better.
