The stars on night sky disprove flat earth!!!
« on: March 30, 2019, 02:25:12 AM »
So I have a simple consideration about Pole star here. What does globe Earth model presume? It presumes that The pole star is on the pole just above you and on equator it is just a little above horizon(the Pole star is NOT 100% above North pole) and whereever on south hemisphere you shouldnt be able to see it. What does flat Earth model presume? It presumes that it should be just above you in the middle of the disk (North pole) you should be still very easily able to see it on equator and you would be okay southern from equator going north because you would still see it. And what do we see on night sky? We observe just what globe Earth model presumes

North star is 100% on the north pole. I mean magnetic pole. Because nasa/google north pole is not real north pole but just a prediction has not meaning. Real pole is one, overlaps with magnetic pole. The north star is above on it.

The stars are not really stars. they are electrical movements, they are not physical objects. There are certain distance and angular criteria for their appearance. The pole star is not as high as it is supposed to be, and after a certain distance due to the "angular size" problem that has already been revealed by me, objects of certain heights disappear on the horizon.

Even if you would be able to explain why you dont see it southern from equator you cant explain the angel on equator which is much smaller than it should be. In FE model it should be still pretty high above horizon not just above horizon. And your explanation of stars disappearing where is your prove :D . Please try better next time.

No, it is no where near the magnetic north pole.

Because nasa/google north pole is not real north pole but just a prediction has not meaning.
No, it has real meaning.
It is the point where Earth's axis of rotation passes through the surface. If you want to go the FE route, then it is the point where the north celestial pole, where all the stars appear to rotate around, is directly above.

The pole star is not as high as it is supposed to be, and after a certain distance due to the "angular size" problem that has already been revealed by me, objects of certain heights disappear on the horizon.
That doesn't apply to lights, and doesn't make it disappear at the horizon.
As an object goes away and gets a smaller angular size, it will eventually be too small to resolve. If it is close enough to the background in appearance it will vanish. But if it is  different enough, e.g. a bright light against the black background of the night sky, it will still be visible, and appear larger than it should. To have the stars vanish you need to have them get far enough away for them to be so dim they blend into the background.
Telescopes and the like also allow you to see further than you otherwise would.

So no, Polaris, being a star viewed at night, will not disappear due to angular resolution.

Even for objects which do disappear, they will disappear at whatever height they are at, they wont magically be brought down to the horizon. This means Polaris should still appear quite high on the equator, and even in the southern hemisphere.

The only way out is to have light bend.

It almost looks like Jack as you has just said that i am right. Or i just didnt understand you.
