Flat Earthers in Antarctica

Post by NineBerry » Sat Dec 14, 2024 1:08 pm

Someone organized an event where some prominent flat earthers are going to Antarctica over the next day and will be able to observe the 24-hour sun there which is not possible on a flat earth.

The name they've given to their expedition seems a tad presumptuous. Anyway, here's a FAQ page for it.

You can do a simple experiment with a stick and the shadow of the sun which demonstrates the curvature of the Earth. These dolts have had more than ample opportunities to debunk their hypothesis evidentially. This isn't a matter of evidence for the die-hards, it's a matter of identity - and monetization of course.

The organizer is not actually a flatearther and paid most of the expenses out of his own pocket.. He seems to believe he can achieve something with this thing but I don't believe that.

Well, at least he puts his money where his mouth is, even though I'd think it more productive to give me that money , because I'll readily admit that earth is an oblate sphere

Brrr, it's cold here with the Sun always out, we need more non-global warming.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I am really astonished about flat earthers living in Southern Australia.

They can see that the day is longer during southern summer.
They can see that the sun is south of then during southern summer.
They can see that they don't see the polar star.
They can see that there is a center in the south around which stars seem to turn (and even in the opposite direction than in the north)

And still there are some that believe in the classic flat earth model with the north pole in the center and an antarctic "ice wall" around the disc.

ALTHOUGH THEY CAN USE THEIR OWN EYES IN THEIR OWN HOME TO OBSERVE THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

True. But the sun is to the north at latitudes below the tropic of capricorn.

If they were interested in a critical appraisal of evidences they wouldn't be flat earthers.

If you are at the most southern parts of Australia, in southern summer, you can see the sun rise and set towards the south-east and south-west respectively, which would not be possible on a flat earth.

True, but in the middle of the day it is to the north.
