Under the bi-polar model the biggest forks are out in the middle of the ocean. However, the landmasses near the equator do see forks in the road.
And have conveniently never been witnessed...
Consider the following images. If the earth is a globe and the stars are light years away and very distant, how is it that the stars can be physically seen to move away from each other over the course of the night? They seem to come closer together then spread away.
They don't. This is a wide angle photo. It is a projection of a spherical field of view onto a flat image. It looks like this for the same reason that a map of the globe can't be perfectly drawn on a flat map without distortions. If you actually look at the stars at night in person, they always stay the same distance away from each other.
The stars in the upper left are rotating one way and the stars in the lower right are rotating the other. The stars are moving in relation to each other! This is impossible if the earth is a globe.
Huh? All stars rotate from east to west, just like the sun. Yes, the stars in the South rotate clockwise, and the stars in the North rotate counterclockwise, but that's only because you have to be facing in the opposite direction to view the stars in the North or South. How in the world do YOU expect the stars to move if the earth is a globe? I am curious.
If you want a good visualization for how the stars rotate around a globe, I recommend downloading
Stellarium.
1. Fast forward the simulation until you can see the stars moving.
2. Click the "equitorial grid" button to better visualize where the celestial poles are.
3. Move the "location" from various points in the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere. Notice how the celestial poles sink and rise with respect to the horizon.
4. Click the "landscape" button to see what it would look like if you could see through the earth.
5. Waste a bunch of time playing around with the various settings, because it's an awesome piece of software.
