So why does this happen, other than the [hypothetical assumption] that the Earth is round?Electromagnetic acceleration.
There is no answer FE can give that will NOT make Polaris visible at night form any place on a FE.
The existence of day and night is a proof that not all celestial bodies can be seen at all times.
Yes in the southern hemisphere I've never seen it?!?Is polaris everytime 60 degrees angle to North Pole?No, it is presently inclined at +89° 15′ 50.8″
Which means that on a FE it should be seen from all locations at night barring cloud cover.
In other words not even Wiki can help here. I see this as a major hole in the "theory" The nigh sky is basic. Polaris' altitude is important. But no one in FET can or so far has bothered to address the question.And why do you think that is?

That's strange, because if I took a picture of the sky I see, the north star is pretty much the only one I can see a lot of nights. I live in a major metro area full of light pollution and could only dream to see the stars as you incredible astronomers that live in the boondocks.
Is earth continuesly turning, spinning and moving with sun? The angle must continuesly changin. Why does'nt this happen?This is disprove of the earth spinnig, rotating and moving. It is impossible to see the polaris as same place if everything is moving.
Now that you've said this same thing twice, I'm sure I understand you and will reply. As you say, we claim the earth is continuously turning, spinning, rotating, yes. And for everything else in the sky, it is true that they will not be in the same place, and the angle would change. Polaris happens to be located in a unique position, however: the rotational axis of the earth points at the spot in the sky occupied by Polaris. This is why its angle never changes, and it appears to spin in place (in actual fact, it is slightly off-axis, a little less than 45 arc-minutes, or 3/4 of a degree. This means it does actually describe a very small apparent circle in the sky, but very tiny) and the whole northern hemisphere sky appears to rotate around it.
Consider an analogy: place a video camera on a record player's turntable, pointing at a wall. If you film the room while turning the record, everything in the image will be moving. Point the camera upwards at a 45 degree angle, same result. But if you point the camera along the spin axis (at the ceiling) and run the test, you will find a spot on the ceiling that does not move within the image, but turns in place. THAT'S where Polaris would be.
Lucky thing it just so happens to be the brightest star in the sky. Also good thing that the stars are so so far away that their relative positions never ever change during our 530 million mile elliptical orbit. That certainly made navigation for 99% of human history a heck of a lot easier.
Simply because Polaris would be more than 60° below the horizon!If the Earth is flat why can't someone standing on the coast of Antartica see Polaris at night?
Polaris would be 13.09 degrees above the horizon and being a less than 2 magnitude star, easy to see.
If the Earth is globe and "spinning, turning" why can't someone standing on the coast of Antartica see Polaris at night?
I replied to Round fact mister! What's it to you? You're doing what you criticize. Shame on you mister, shame on you shameless man!
It is not impartant what the angel between Polaris and earth. Is earth continuesly turning, spinning and moving with sun? The angle must continuesly changin. Why does'nt this happen?
If the Earth is flat why can't someone standing on the coast of Antartica see Polaris at night?Does this "someone" have a name, or does he only exist in your imagination?
If he only exists in your imagination, I suggest he cannot "see" anything, including the sun, moon, and any stars.
Unless I'm mistaken, the founding fathers originally had the Articles of Confederation which was too weak to keep a federal government intact or useful. So pardon me for not giving 18th century people fresh from revolution absolute faith in their ability to plan for 200 years in the future.The government to not spend a penny on anything NOT specific to Article 1 Section 8...Get rid of the FBI (Article 1 Section 8)
Constitutional amendments have expanded the powers of the federal government far beyond what was originally enumerated in Section 8. Also, the Commerce Clause provides the constitutional justification for a huge amount of what the FBI does.
The Commerce Clause is and excuse. The Framers and those that debated each clause disagreed with a broad interpretation of said clause and said so many times. The same holds to the General Welfare Clause.
I'd start with the repeal of the 17th Amendment. A lot os people would be tossed by their state's legislatures for their actions against the State' they are supposed to represent. Harry Reid comes to mind. He backed Obama against the best interests of Nevada.
God made humans have hunger and need food.
God gave humans fear and predators and disease.
God gave us Greed.
We are what God made us to be. We fight because we fear death. We steal because we are hungry or greedy.
Humans, if made by God, are so flawed in design it makes you wonder how an all knowing, perfect creator could fail so hard.

It is very easy to discern which secret societies are behind Cruz or Trump: look at their hand signs, and also decipher the following quotes:
Tonight Iowa has proclaimed to the world: morning is coming
T. Cruz
Donald is not going to make America great, he's going to make America orange
M. Rubio
They're better off playing nice with Trump so he's more controllable and picks a conservative SCOTUS if elected.
What you are implying is that the GOP had no way to control Trump, or to predict what was going to happen, and that Cruz is running a false campaign.
Or that they will accept the potential loss of both the Senate and the House in November, just to play nice to Trump.
Or that they do not know that nine out of ten hispanics view Trump unfavorably.
Trump's promises/foreign policy run contrary to everything the GOP has stood for in the past twenty years or so.
This is the reason why I think something else is going on, an unfolding of events which will become clearer the closer we get to November.
No more Executive Orders. Article 1Section 1 Clause 1. No more signing of bills saying what will be enforced or not. A law is a law is a law. Otherwise veto it and get a bill you want. That is just for starters
How can Cruz have a "secret society" behind him if you know and post about it?
Cruz has behind him a very powerful secret society, which could have helped him to have performed much better in the NE, but chose not to
Math is hard.
