I've noticed in all pictures of the flat earth, the north pole is in the centre and the south pole forms the wall of ice around the disc- why not have the south pole in the centre with the north pole forming the wall of ice?
It seems very elitist to put your own half of the hemisphere in the centre. Do you think you're more important than the southern hemisphere?
-
lol - its because people in the northern hemisphere came up with this bullshit
-
Any form of hot liquid core would burn a huge hole in the north pole on FE

no

Because in his book "South Sea Voyages" the polar explorer Sir James Clark Ross reported a 60,000 mile voyage after his three year Antarctic expedition to find a south sea passage to the south magnetic pole.

no
Yes. a molten core would have to be spherical, thus the shortest route for the heat to go would be directly upward at the north pole, causing a lovely melting.

No, it wouldn't have to be a spherical "core" (a misnomer), you are ignoring gravitation pushing it flat against a flat "surface".

In which case it would melt through the other side of the planet.

Do you enjoy just making stuff up? It doesn't melt the mantle and crust for the same reasons it doesn't on a round earth. Depth, pressure and density.

Which is why it can only work on a sherical earth. that much pressure can only exist in spherical form where there are no weak points in it's structure. a solid hot core on a flat earth would either fall through the bottom of the planet, or stay in the middle and burn a hole through top and bottom. Take a galaxy for example. The huge amount of light emitted by it's core is seen from the top and bottom but cannot be seen from the sides appart from a glow around the surrounding disc star systems

Fall through the bottom into what? The massive force that is accelerating the earth upwards? That much preassure can exist fine on a flat earth.

In that case then all of the core's heat would be at it's most concentrated on 2 points. directly above and below it. melting the north pole and what ever mysterious world exists below it.

No.

Pathetic arguement.
-
You and your "melting"...
-
Your statement just doesn't follow. I'm sorry. I'm done with you, you are failing to grasp simple concepts. Time for some turkeyday.
-
Yes. a molten core would have to be spherical, thus the shortest route for the heat to go would be directly upward at the north pole, causing a lovely melting.
That's the shortest route for the RE too. So...why doesn't it cause melting?
-
Obviously due to pressure and density which would be present in both models.
-
oh, now i remember: because the stars in the sky appear to rotate around the north pole.
that is, when observered from the northern hemisphere! when in the southern hemisphere, they appear to rotate around the SOUTH pole!
-

RE is SPHERICAL. meaning the heat is the same in every direction.

Ok, so why doesn't the entire earth melt then?

Errr, no. It's not spherical at all. You keep getting your facts wrong.

Because the distance from core to crust is too far, the magma cools before it has chance to do any damage
-
So, why would the FE melt?
-
it wouldnt, it doesnt exist
-
So, why would the FE melt?
The distance from top to bottom is tiny compared to left to right. think about it. superheated ball in the middle of a disk of material, it's gonna burn a hole in the middle
-
Just how thin do you think the FE is?
-
check out this map:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Usgs_map_traverse_mercator.PNG
the north pole is NOT in the center of this one!
-
What's your point?
-
ok, let me try to state it as clearly as i can:
in the RE model, the north and south poles are the axis of earth's rotation, which stand still relative to the rest of earth.
in the FE model, the north pole is the center and...there IS no south pole at ALL!
-
Let me explain it as clearly as I can:
No, the south pole is under the earth.
-
that means south is DOWN, so ALL compasses would point down no matter where they are!
but they do NOT!
-
Compasses don't point to the poles.
-
Compasses don't point to the poles.
Correct, they point to the magnetic poles. which for all intesive purposes is the north and south poles of the earth.
-
Compasses don't point to the poles.
-
Compasses don't point to the poles.
what do they point to then?
-
They align themselves with the prevailing magnetic field.
-
erm in a sentence that I'll understand?
-
I'll draw you a picture:
-
go on then

You call that a picture to explain it?
-
Imagine a series of lines around the world. They travel from magnetic North to magnetic South. The compass needle lines up with the imaginary lines.

It didn't turn out very big...

Here is one I did a while ago.

Best example of that is lie a bar magnet on a piece of paper and sprinkle iron filings around it and it takes that shape =D

haha best experiment ever. Then you collected the filings onto the paper and blew it in the loner kid's hair. *sigh* good times.

damn you got me...
nah the loner kid was the one who's bag we put a pig heart in =D

Bastard kids
Why didn't I think of that?!
-
thanks for the picture!
as i was trying to point out, if the South magnetic pole was UNDER earth, all the magnetic lines would go up/down, not north/south.

Uh, what? ???
