scepti, which FE map is the most correct one?
The closest one is this one.

So can you explain how the South Pole can get 24 hour sun during December?
Which part?
It's a big circle of ice around the earth.

Let's just say the nearest edge for argument sake.
The nearest edge to what?

Anything above Antartic Circle (66° 33′ 44″ S) will get midnight sun on December solstice:

So how do you explain midnight sun in Antarctic scepti?
I think, therefore I am

Before I answer, I have a few questions.

If your south pole has 24 hours of sun, then the north pole has 24 hours of darkness, right?

How many days a year does your south pole have 24 hours sunlight?

How many days a year does the north pole have 24 hours of sun light?

How many days a year does your south pole have 24 hours of darkness?

How many days a year does the north pole have 24 hours of darkness?

It doesn't matter. How can the sun light anything above (or below depending how you look at it) Antartic Circle at once?

For me to get a good take on things, I need you to answer my questions. You are well versed on round earth, aren't you, so educate me, so I can work it all out.

Maybe somebody can quote me this since scepti has taken it upon himself to block me.

"A common misconception is that the polar shortest day is totally dark everywhere inside the polar circle. In places very close to the poles it is completely dark, but regions located at the inner border of the polar circles experience polar twilight instead of polar night. In fact, polar regions typically get more twilight throughout the year than equatorial regions.

For regions inside the polar circles, the maximum lengths of the time that the sun is completely below the horizon varies from about 20 hours at the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle to 179 days at the Poles. However, not all this time is classified as polar night, since sunlight may be visible because of refraction. Also, the time when the sun is above the horizon at the poles is 186 days. The numerical asymmetry occurs because the time when the sun is partially above the horizon is counted towards the "daytime". Also, the above numbers are average numbers: owing to the ellipticity of the Earth's orbit, where the South pole receives a week more of sun-below-horizon than the North pole."

So the number of consecutive polar nights and polar days is almost symmetric but because of the elliptical orbit this slightly varies by as much as 10 ten days.

I ask you first remember? So please answer my question first. How can everything inside the Antarctic Circle (see RE map below) be lit up at the same time on a flat earth (regardless how long it is).

I could see this happening in the Arctic Circle, buy I have yet to see credible evidence of this happening in the Antarctic Circle.

I don't know everything about how your round earth works, so I'd like you to explain a few things to me in simplistic terms, so I can get an idea of how to give you an answer.

4 questions I need answering of which are in an above post. If you don't want to answer then, then fair enough but I can't answer your question until I familiarize myself with what happens with your north and south poles.

Contrary to the popular beliefs on this website you are allowed to go to the south pole. There are even relatively inexpensive cruises you can take to show yourself. Or you can ask anybody who may have been on these cruises. You know that you will disregard testimonies anyway so I think you'd be best off proving this for yourself rather than just outright denying it with typical FE pseudo-skepticism.

Every single bit of your theories (and all FE theories) piggy back on the work of real science. It's pathetic.

Are you kidding me? You are claiming that there is no evidence when there absolutely is. There are people (specifically scientists) who live there. I am quite aware that you believe anything that proves your claims wrong about a "lack of evidence" is a lie so I'm avoiding the typical way these conversations and jumping straight to where it ends up. Go prove it for yourself.

scepti, which FE map is the most correct one?
The closest one is this one.




What is your opinion about objects south of the equator such as the size and shape of Australia and distances between South America and Australia on that map ?

Which do you think is the most accurate : The "North Polar (FE)Map" or the "Bipolar (FE) Map" ?
I missed this post for some reason. Sorry about that.

The flat earth I believe is the real earth, or the real earth that we are allowed to know about is the one that's stuck on a globe model.

EXCEPT!
it's a flat earth model, superimposed onto the globe, so if you peel off the map on the globe starting with what you think Antarctica is and open it all up and flatten it out. That's the closest to the real earth, or shall I say...that is the closest they want us to see of the real earth.

If there are any clever computer wizards out there, maybe they can attempt this. I don't know if it's possible or not, though.

Why not?  We could do it in CN so that nobody thinks you are really on the FE side.

It is just so easy to argue for the RET.  I could do it without hardly thinking.  I would not jump around acting like I accomplished something, I just want to know how you would argue for the other side.

No, I am not talking about making fun of each other.  I am talking about serious debate.

When I debated in high school, I did not get a choice of the side I was given.  I was just wondering if rottingroom would want a debate where he would have to actually think about the harder side instead of choosing the easy side. 

If not, then oh well.

How is it harder to argue the FE side? The method is to simply ignore arguments and make stuff up. It doesn't even have to make sense. RE'rs get the convenience of having lots of sources from which to obtain arguments from but those arguments have to be presented in a way that is coherent. There is an illusion on these forums that the answer is still up in the air simply because FE'rs refuse concede that they have lost.

Anyways, I will play. I have physical therapy in a bit so I can only do it for a bit but after therapy I can continue where we left off. Go ahead and start it wherever you'd like.

No view whatsoever. I do not follow religion in any form. That's not to say that I reject it, it's to say that I simply have my own opinion on what life is about and it doesn't constitute gods of any earthly religions.

I'm not going to tell anyone that their religion is wrong or their god does not exist, though. I simply follow my own god, which is my own mind...that is my god. It controls who I am and what I think and do.

My brain is my computer, there are many like it, but this one is mine.

Scepti is definitely a solipsist. I used to think I was too. When I got my minor in philosophy a class in western philosophy specifically about pragmatism released me from what I saw as a necessary skepticism for life. I am still a skeptic but there must be a functioning pragmatic concession in order to function.

Ok, I will probably pass out in a little while, but I never sleep more than 4 hours.  You our I can make a new post in the CN section and I will delete anyone else who posts there. 

I will be hung over, so you will have the advantage.  But that is OK, because I will be debating the easy side. 

Also, I will not be doing a sceptimatic and just ignore any points you make.

When I debated in high school, I did not get a choice of the side I picked.  I was just wondering if rottingroom would want a debate where he would have to actually think about the harder side instead of choosing the easy side. 

If not, then oh well.

How is it harder to argue the FE side? The method is to simply ignore arguments and make stuff up. It doesn't even have to make sense. RE'rs get the convenience of having lots of sources from which to obtain arguments from but those arguments have to be presented in a way that is coherent. There is an illusion on these forums that the answer is still up in the air simply because FE'rs refuse concede that they have lost.

Anyways, I will play. I have physical therapy in a bit so I can only do it for a bit but after therapy I can continue where we left off. Go ahead and start it wherever you'd like.

Ok, I will probably pass out in a little while, but I never sleep more than 4 hours.  You our I can make a new post in the CN section and I will delete anyone else who posts there. 

I will be hung over, so you will have the advantage.  But that is OK, because I will be debating the easy side. 

Also, I will not be doing a sceptimatic and just ignore any points you make.

It probably make more sense for me to start it. I will make a simple claim in the OP that the Earth is flat, then we will go from there.
