Why do you see different stars in the Southern "Hemisphere" to the ones in the Northern "Hemisphere" then???

Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham, an astronomer himself, calculated through triangulation that those dots of lights you see in the night sky are actually small intense motes located around 4,000 miles above the sea level of the Earth.

Moderator Dysfunction summarizes the concept as follows:

    "Now, according to the FE model, the stars are only a few thousand miles overhead; let's say 4,000 miles for the purpose of this discussion. If you are in England, a star that is directly above England is going to be 4,000 miles away from you. It's light has to travel 4,000 miles to reach you, but for most of that time it is traveling through the vacuum of space, which does not interfere with the light. The atmosphere does interfere; changes in media refract the light. However, this star's would only have to travel through the few dozen miles of atmosphere directly overhead to reach you. A star directly over the eastern United States, say (where I live), would still be 4,000 miles up, but also tens of thousand of miles away from you horizontally. The distance this star's light has to travel is going to be the hypotenuse of those two lengths. Not only will the light have to travel several thousand miles farther to reach you, it will also hit the atmosphere at a lower angle and thus have to travel through several thousand miles of atmosphere. Over this distance, the density and refracting effects of the atmosphere will prevent any of it from reaching you; thus you won't see the star at all."

Ah thanks. So why do motes go supernova then?

The whole southern hemisphere has the same star chart. How does the outer ring of flat earth see all the stars all the way around the ring, but none in the center? The logic of this holds up for the northern hemisphere, or the center of FE, same difference, right?

I had drawn a map in MSPaint, but I thought it better not to post it. I'm no artist. But how can starts on the opposite side of FE be seen, but none in he center?

What's in the southern hemisphere?
South America and Africa, which consist almost entirely of 3rd world countries.

Antarctica/Ice Wall, which is uninhabited.

And of course Australia, which does not exist and is a lie perpetrated by the conspiracy.

Therefore the entire Southern hemisphere is part of the conspiracy and they can't be trusted with astronomy, Coriolis force, Focault pendulums, et al.

Australia, lol!

Some of the best observatories are in the southern hemisphere. The air is a bit clearer there, since there is less land mass for humans to pollute from :)

The sand castles will fall. The truth is coming. The pit is burning. The demon watches and everything is as everyone else wants it to be... I will fear.

We have excellent non-existent falling sand-castles down here in Australia.

If the RE theory is true, this question is silly. Because the 'northern hemisphere' and 'southern hemispheres' are part of a sphere: they don't just cut off. There are no hemispheres, just a gentle curve. So how come they see different stars? It's RE that doesn't make sense if you ask me.
