Is It Possible To Go Above Low Earth Orbit? We Have Been Lied To.

 

 

Join the queue!

 

There are other outstanding questions in this thread that have not been addressed yet, for whatever reasons, so I politely request that these take precedence before we are sidetracked into discussions of new theories.

The problem I see is if Polaris is at 90% above the north pole ,how can it be at 0%  at the equator,that statement is ridiculous,because the position of Polaris hasn't changed,your point of observation has and your line of sight definitely isn't 0%.

I'm getting a sense of that old French saying first the 8" per mile and the way it's applied and now this  

Polaris is confirmed at 0° at the equator by eye witness and photographic evidence.

Yes, because of the Earth's CURVATURE.

 

The inclination of Polaris is always the same as the latitude it is being observed from. Obviously, with negative latitudes (ie. South of the Equator), Polaris will not be visible (ignoring atmospheric refraction).

If it was at zero deg at the equator Polaris must have got its skates on and moved position then ,or maybe it is still in the same spot and it is your point of observation that has just changed and as I said before your new line of sight is definitely not 0 deg, why make a new triangle when you already have one from From Polaris due south to the center of the earth out the to the edge of the earth at the equator then back to Polaris.

Can you provide any evidence at all to support your argument?

For Christ sake think just about it,don't tell me where back to, I know it's a triangle but I want proof, all this rubbish regarding Polaris has been done to death back in the thread .I gave you the benefit of the doubt but all its been is same shit different day

So what you telling me is you can't even picture a simple 2D triangle in your head from the points I mentioned.

Can I provide evidence ,NO ,not because I can't but I'm not wasting my time any more, enjoy

Peter, I wish you well. The discussion with you is going nowhere, so let's take a break to reflect. I am not claiming Polaris is viewable from the Southern Hemisphere, just that it is visible on the Horizon at the Equator. No scientists dispute this.

Its visible because of the obliquity. Ive already explaines this. Polaris has not moved, the Earths tilt has. If I knew you I could spend evenings with my telescope seeking answers together. Nothing personal but I think you need to see things through a telescope. Then when you do the maths, things become more obvious.

I would love to view myself from Ecuador, it would make things a lot easier. 

 

If Earth's tilt had moved how is it possible for both pole stars to be viewed at the Equator as witnessed?

 

 

"Obliquity describes the tilt of the Earth's axis in relation to its orbital plane, which ranges from 22.1–24.5 degrees with a periodicity of ~41,000 years."

 

Even accepting the argument of obliquity this would only equate to a 0.000006-degree shift per year. Put simply it would take approx 16666 years for the Earth Tilt to move by 0.1 degrees.

But remember that that the angle of the North pole is the degree range you stated which is why the North star is visible from the equator. In honesty I don't really want to go over this again. The last few pages have explained all this. It seems to be going back to the beginning.

 

Now it seems that it is always the job of non flat Earthers to justify the globe, etc. It is time for Flat Earthers to now do the same. (MOD NOTE: PROMOTION OF RELIGION IS AGAINST FORUM GUIDELINES, So please don't quote the most heavily edited, and censored book in history).

 

Can anyone, in the interest of fairness, now answer the question about the nautical almanac? Also how do Flat Earthers explain a sextants function on a flat Earth?

Exactly

Which proves a globe Earth working under the conditions we are taught.

 

Can somebody now address my previous questions.

Only if you pretend refraction doesn't exist. You seem absolutely desperate to move on so go on, but I fail to see how you have proved your point. Infact you have proved mine.,

I would not rely on crow777 being one of the people who had to decode the construct, he had pattern to capture. Nothing more, nothing less. The same patterns have been filmed by people here, they are the same. And I am quite sure that he has no answers, because the moon is still earth. No matter how far we push, we will never leave earth.

I agree with this.

And yet you don't understand what earth is. And all that is in between are other states of the earth that will never be ours. You will neither be able to see nor touch it. Just think this is used for other stages of development that also have to exist. Or do you think we are the first ones..

Ive answered everything clearly. Youre refraction argument is ridiculous. And has been explaimed. Im not desperate to move on. I am trying to determine if you are a troll or not. Can you now please answer the questions that I asked.

I believe there has only ever been one earth which has been wiped clean many times, so no, we are not the first ones.

Those who have to go did not give anything to the younger ones. Ok. Tiny traces were left behind that the later ones should find and that they have to decode it themselves. That was always the rule. And it could be that earth is a little more complex than flat or round...

Mr Trekker I hope you haven't started them off again by posting this, a risky ploy indeed

Haha, no! They'd first have to refute the questions we've already asked and so far they seem unable to do so.
