Can someone explain the north pole to me?

Considering that Antarctica is a wall of Ice, and the North Pole is in the center, how do only the center and edges have frozen ice, and the middle of the ring have tropical rainforests. Likewise, all thag goes with the poles, the month long nights, magnetism ect.

To make it simpler, here is a list of thing that confuse me
1-How is there only perminent ice at the edges, and how come there is a reaserch facillity located a few hundred feet away from the south pole
2-In theory, the north pole should have the same amount of light each day, why does this vary?
3-why does a compass always point north? (Where is the south pole?)
4-What is responsible for seasons?
5- How tall is the antartic ice and why can't someone get a photo of it
6- If we climb over the ice boundries, what is on the other side?
These next one aren't north pole ones
5-Why, when you look into an ocean, you can see a slight curve on the horizon
6-The Basic principles of gravity state a sphere is the natural shaped for an object with gravity pulling towards the center. If all gravity pulls us down, why is the earth floating?

I'm not the best speller in the world, if you tell me my spelling is bad and don't awnser any questions, you are not actually contributing are you?

well before any of the uptight people respond to this i'll be nice and tell you what they're basically going to tell you lol

the common response is "Lurk Moar" but basically what they mean is look at their FAQ (which can be very... odd lol) but it gives explanations for most of these questions as illogical as they may seem lol.

I believe in the RE of course i just thought i'd be kind and save you from the more disgruntled members

2-In theory, the north pole should have the same amount of light each day, why does this vary?

In theory the flat earth should be permanatly lit. It doesn't seem like flat earth people can explain this basic contradictory observation, so I wouldn't stress about you other questions.

I'm a total RE person, I just want to seeif any FE person had a decent argument.

Answers in BOLD
Also I'm not a FE expert so these aren't law.

To make it simpler, here is a list of thing that confuse me
1-How is there only perminent ice at the edges, and how come there is a reaserch facillity located a few hundred feet away from the south pole

A. The same way in RET, it gets less sun, which makes it colder, which in turn makes ice. B. because they built one there?

2-In theory, the north pole should have the same amount of light each day, why does this vary?

In short,the sun acts like a spotlight only illuminating so much earth at a time.

3-why does a compass always point north? (Where is the south pole?)

Same way as in RET, and the south pole is the "icewall".

4-What is responsible for seasons?

The radius of the sun's orbit around the Earth's axis symmetry varies throughout the year, being smallest when summer is in the northern annulus and largest when it is summer in the southern annulus.(Stolen from FAQ, which has pictures that explain better)

5- How tall is the antartic ice and why can't someone get a photo of it

Roughly 150 feet tall, and because getting to it is difficult,and "the conspiracy" is guarding it. (LOLEVELCONSPARCYGONNAKILLUISALL)

6- If we climb over the ice boundries, what is on the other side?

I think it's still being debated weather the earth is an infinite plane or just dark energy.

These next one aren't north pole ones
5-Why, when you look into an ocean, you can see a slight curve on the horizon

Not sure, but I think the consensus is that it's an optical illusion of some sort.

6-The Basic principles of gravity state a sphere is the natural shaped for an object with gravity pulling towards the center. If all gravity pulls us down, why is the earth floating?

The earth doesn't have a gravitational pull.

I was searching for info explaining the North Pole under Flat Earth Theory and found this thread. The search feature pulls up too many things that don't direct me to answers, unfortunately. I've invested quite a bit of time looking.

I am surprised a thread of this title does not have a single lucid reply from someone who supports the idea that the Earth is in fact flat. 

If anyone knows of anywhere on this site that an F.E. explanation of how the North Pole could exist in the center of a flat plane that stretches to hot tropical and desert regions before going back to frozen tundra wastelands, I'd like to study those theories and the science behind them and would appreciate someone with thousands of posts who is knowledgeable on the subject steering me in the right direction. I'm giving this idea a thorough look rather than wantonly dismissing it.

Stop posting here if you cannot pick up the basics of FE theory yet.

Original Poster: please read the FAQ. Most of your questions will be answered there. The research station does not exist. The magnetic north pole is a monopole.

The magnetic north pole is a monopole.

OK.

So the north pole in RE theory is the only magnetic monopole known, though nobody can prove it. (A magnetic monopole is a hypothetical particle, not a proven land mass comprised of untold hundred of billions of trillions of particles.) Assuming that your unproven idea is correct -- a very generous assumption given a total lack of evidence -- please help me understand how this one and only existing magnetic monopole (a magnetic compass points to it, so we do know it's magnetic) exists at such cold temperatures, ascending to hot temperatures in desert and tropical climates, and then descending back down to frozen places so cold 150 foot high ice walls exist?

Do you know how to explain that? If not, does someone else who believes this theory know how to explain it? Does such an explanation existing in writing for review? If so, where?

How do you know this?

RE can't explain magnetism any better than FE.

1-How is there only perminent ice at the edges, and how come there is a reaserch facillity located a few hundred feet away from the south pole

The Sun orbits the North Celestial Pole between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Therefore, most of its light reaches the Earth near the Equator, and much less reaches the centre and edge of the disc.

2-In theory, the north pole should have the same amount of light each day, why does this vary?

Because the Sun moves closer and further from it as it traces out the orbital motion that causes the seasons.

3-why does a compass always point north? (Where is the south pole?)

A compass has two poles, and will align itself with the local magnetic field if allowed to rotate freely. The South Magnetic Pole is those point(s) at which the magnetic field lines at the surface of the Earth are pointing vertically upward, just as in RET.

4-What is responsible for seasons?

The Sun moving sinusoidally between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn with a period approximately equal to 365.2425 times that of its orbital period about the North Celestial Pole.

5- How tall is the antartic ice and why can't someone get a photo of it

The inner ice wall is about fifty metres high. Accessing it would entail a journey through very hostile terrain, and getting funding for such a journey from a world in which RET is accepted as canon would be very difficult. In addition, some suspect that the ice wall is heavily guarded by Conspiracy agents.

6- If we climb over the ice boundries, what is on the other side?

Why don't you go and find out?

5-Why, when you look into an ocean, you can see a slight curve on the horizon

When I look into an ocean, I can see fish.

6-The Basic principles of gravity state a sphere is the natural shaped for an object with gravity pulling towards the center. If all gravity pulls us down, why is the earth floating?

Oh, for Christ's sake. Have you bothered to read any of the FAQ at all?
