The only reason not to see Crux from South America and Australia simultaneously would be the daylight.

They are 180 degrees of longitude apart and when at one is night at the other is day.

You forget about winter down south. On a Globe and about the same time, one should see see it before twilight and the other, after twilight. But they have to wait 12 hours because Earth is a Plane.

The Globe community is incapable of verifying Earth has the curvature calculated through experiment or claimed by anyone. They can measure a band of helium but they can’t actually measure and verify the dictated curvature of any landmass or canal. Why not?

You forget about winter in the north. On a Globe and about the same time, one should see see it before twilight and the other, after twilight. But they have to wait 12 hours because Earth is a Plane.

What star charts are you using? As far as I know for some days in the month of june three observers placed in australia, south africa and south america facing south will all see the southern cross at the same time provided clear sky and night in the three places.

This had been already discussed in this forum and no FE seems to be able to explain it.

No, they don’t.

The southern pole star Sigma Octantis, is always near enough due south (a little more than a degree off) for anyone watching the night sky in the Southern Hemisphere regardless of the time.  Whether they can see it due to sunlight or not. 

If your flat earth diagram, was correct, people would see Sigma Octantis come from the East, sweep past South and disappear in the West. 

THEY DO NOT.

They see the whole star field rotating around the southern celestial pole, just as people do for the northern celestial pole, except in the opposite direction.

The Flat Earth diagram is correct. I can't help that it doesn't fit your Globe.

Except your diagram doesn’t match what people actually see.  What they see does match the globe/heliocentric model.

This is supposed to be flat earthers’ whole deal- for people to use their senses.  So why make up stuff that no one sees?

If the earth is round ball - gravity acts down (not towards the south pole).

Regardless of earths shape, hills are made of dirt and they clearly exist.
Why would they not exist if the earth was a ball?
Gravity on a RE has been equated to a predictable fall on a FE.
so the magnitude of down is the same.
It is easily measurable and verifiable.
So why should hills not exist?

Others have sailed it.
Are they untrustworthy?
Your ice wall would be the perim of the entrie know world, vs a relatively small "island".

Yes you keep mentioning florida.
Why though is the question, when water is MORE GENERALLY FLAT than the mainland?

Time lapse or video is required AS WELL as taking a sample with different weather conditions.
If you claim mirages and lensing and such, then weather is a varying factor amd needs to be isolated - like how good science is done.

Sure, but being that close to a VERY large curved mirror, with that field of view will show a miniscule amount of distortion.

I shouldn’t need to.  You are the one proposing things work differently from all the star maps that millions of professional and amateur astronomers use to find stars.

But here’s a bit on how to find the south celestial pole from the southern cross.

Why not? Until you prove that the reflection is EXACTLY the same as the original you've no case!
A 5 miles by 5 miles piece of the surface a of a perfectly smooth sphere the size of the earth deviates from being perfectly flat by only ±25 inches or ±1 part in over 12,000!

That image is only 1206 pixels wide. So at the most any deviation from the surface being perfectly flat is a few tenths of a pixel!
If you come back with details of how high the camera was, field of view and the distance to those mountains maybe it could be worked more accurately.

Do some sums before making claims like this!

On a Globe and about the same time, one should see see it before twilight and the other, after twilight. But they have to wait 12 hours because Earth is a Plane.
No, on a globe, due to the daylight, you don't see it during the day.

They can observe the apparent rotation about the south celestial pole to see that it isn't just rotating into position above a disk.
Why does the south celestial pole remain due south?

2. Rolling hills exist because there is no force pulling to center of Earth to shape hills into a sphere.
There is no magical force pulling anything into any particular shape.
For a RE, gravity pulls down towards the centre. That will not magically make things into a perfect sphere. Instead it will result in very large objects breaking due to the pressure at the base pushing outwards, or less solid objects rolling down a hill due to the normal force.

The same applies to a flat Earth, as pointed out and ignored by you repeatedly.
If gravity pulling towards the centre of Earth made hills impossible for a RE, whatever magic you use to replace gravity to explain why things fall would make hills impossible for a FE.

There is nothing intellectual about a Big Bang theory.
You not liking something doesn't mean there is nothing intellectual about it.
Regardless, this is meant to be about the shape of Earth. There is nothing intellectual about a flat earth. All the evidence indicates Earth is round.

6. Time-laps photos are better and prove the Globe Community wrong. We can’t help they rationalize, ignore and even deny it because it doesn't fit in with the core belief  and because they suffer from cognitive dissonance.
And there you go projecting again.
You are yet to provide anything which even comes close to proving the globe community wrong.

The Flat Earth diagram is correct. I can't help that it doesn't fit your Globe.
No, it is completely wrong and does not match reality at all.
It fails to explain why there is a south celestial pole.
It has a tiny region of light being cast by the sun, rather than having the sun illuminate roughly half of Earth at once.
It has the shape of Australia and Antarctica completely wrong.
It has the distance between the southern continents wrong.
And so on.

Meanwhile, the globe matches quite well.
We can't help that your flat ideas don't match reality.

The surface of a sphere cannot produce this mirror image.
And yet  another baseless claim.
Why can't it?
Stop just asserting garbage and start backing it up.

Do you also think this mirror can't exist:


Round surfaces can produce mirror images just fine.
The only issue would be distortion due to the mirror not being flat. But over such a tiny area of Earth, the difference in angle is so small that distortion will not be noticeable.
As a comparison, it would be like looking at this portion:

which should still produce far more distortion than that expected for Earth in your photo.

You are the master of deflection, I don't see any contradiction with what Macarios said.

Some some days in June it's night time at the same time in east Australia and Chile. On those days you can see the southern cross from both places at the same time. That wouldn't be possible in your toy FE.

Crux is a circumpolar constellation south of 34°S,  it never sets below the horizon in those southern latitudes. Here's a video of the crux rotating around the celestial south pole seen from New Zealand, if you dont believe it go south and check for yourself:
