The total absence of the FE crowd are somewhat telling, where are the youtube top minds those boastful geniuses who are claiming they debunked this long time ago and advice you to come to the conclusion yourself ?
A copy past would do it, thanks, or a less than 4 hour yt video.
Are you expecting someone from youtube to post in this thread?
Oh and since you just wandered here, could you share your opinion about the topic, I dont want to force an explanation out, just an opinion, if not about the physical nature of the crux just tell us about the reception of this topic in the FE community or something about the general view on it. Thank you!
Didn't everyone just wander here?
This topic has been discussed on this forum lots of times. You could search for "Southern Cross", but I think this is too much for most roundies.
I have seen some FE talk about celestial gears regarding the constellations. This is, I think, misunderstood by people who are imagining clockworks in the sky or something. It's more to describe how the stars move. The Southern stars are near the rim, the countries nearer the rim see those stars. The stars are moving sort of in a circle over the flat earth, the way the sun does.
i'm actually read all that up here, those are not as long conversations as you think.
the problem with celestial gears: 1 they are not explain the situation with the crux above 2 they try to explain the celestial poles, but there is no transition zones on the sky:
The stars are changes continuously as you travel south their measured altitude changes are totally correspond with your movement dictated by sphere geometry.
This phenomena is in
practical use as celestial navigation they use for this purpose a celestial globes, where your coordinates at given time totally corresponds with the visible constellations and their coordinates on a celestial globe.
So
the earth and the sky is connected in spherical geometry and it was proved by practice.
And the celestial south pole is must be above one point on earth as the north, It is verifiable by traveling very close or to the south pole as a tourist.
Oh, and all the above observations are could be very easily explainable by the round earth model, it is just simple geometry, nothing fancy there really, just a spinning ball and a sky modell.... no need of strange bendy light, celestial gears, ether, whirlpools, mirrors and smoke.
