I have read several threads here about the flat earth theory and I concluded that it all may look real at first sight, but it completely fails in three main points:
1. The midnight sun in Antarctica - During the austral summer, it is possible to see the sun 24 hours a day in Antarctica. The sun stops and raises again, instead of set around 6:00 pm, as in the other parts of the world. In the flat earth commonest model (the one that decipts Antarctica as an ice ring around earth), the midnight sun is
impossible. I searched about it on this forum, and I found an explanation for it, that I found totally implausible. The explanation was "the midnight sun in Antarctica is caused by the brightness of the sun in ice structures, that reflect the lights to the other parts, making the Antarctica ring shiny". I will explain why this is impossible in a flat earth in some points:
A - The brightness on the ice would not go to the opposite dark side of the world and make it shine; sun's rays aren't that powerful. If you think I'm wrong, why the oceans do not reflect each other too? Water has the same reflecting capacity that ice has.
B - Why it is possible to see the sun in the sky even if it is in the other side of the world? It's completely illogical.
2. Ascent and descent of the sun - If the sun is the whole time in the same altitude above earth's surface, why we can see it raise and set? I have also searched for this in the forums, and found a explanation saying this is a matter of perspective. Why?! This makes no sense. You can see clearly the sun the sun going up and down and it
isn't an optical illusion.
3. Different skies in northern and southern hemispheres - If you look to the sky at night, you see completely different stars depending on what hemisphere you are in; and there is no way to see stars from another hemisphere. In a flat earth, the sky would be the same in all parts of the world. Or at least, we would be able to see stars from another hemisphere using a telescope. That's why the sky is sometimes called
celestial sphere.
I want to know how these three things are possible in a flat earth. And, I want
evidences and sources for your claims, instead of things immediately invented by your own heads only for supply necessities of these pseudoscientific theories.
