Yes. I think one thread is quite enough.

I conclude that you want to get yourself banned, since you now realize you cannot answer perfectly reasonable questions, and so your fallback is to convince yourself you're a "victim"

Its a biased forum. BUBBLES ( you haven't answered that yet ) You keep crying to the moods You've lost you haven't gave me one single valid answer to all questions I've provided. Have a look but bare in mind my posts get deleted.

Keep deluding yourself, you're great at it, but there's always room for improvement.

If you ask questions on your own thread then people might address them if they are sensible. I have asked you many times on your thread, for example, why you think the moon would look upside down when viewed from Australia, but so far you ignore it. And several other simple questions politely posed by others.

Your style is not to ask questions or give answers, it is to provide cryptic responses, and links to boring, lengthy YT videos by cranks. If you like, put up a list on your thread of a few valid individual questions which you claim have not been addressed. Instead of foaming at the mouth and insulting everyone.

Re: Night Sky : Wed Nov 04, 2015 3:56 pm  

The answers are in the linked video's confirming your questions. I really can't be parsed telling you to be honest your cognitive dissonance gets in the way of reason. Maybe I should sample my evidence in cartoon form ha ha

Re: Night Sky : Wed Nov 04, 2015 4:02 pm  

So why is it that the moon looks "upside down" when viewed from Australia?

Re: Night Sky : Wed Nov 04, 2015 4:26 pm  

So if the earth is flat, as you maintain, and not a globe, as I maintain, what possible perspective effect could it be that makes the moon look upside down to two different observers standing on the same flat surface?

Why will you not answer this very simple question?

Why will you not answer this very simple question? Pointless trying to explain to trolling Neanderthal's the best cartoon like adaptation I could come up with is this. This is fabulous piece of work by Rob Skiba converting stellarium to the flat earth model. Stellarium is a free software you can download on-line. It is a heliocentric, globe-based program. However, by setting the location view to essentially be at the centre of the South Pole, and using the Stereographic view mode (with all of the stars and planets turned off), Rob was able to get a view of the sun and moon orbiting the Earth. From that particular view however, the orbit was anti -clockwise, so all he did was flip it to be a clockwise rotation and then laid it over the Flat Earth model with a screen filter. This was the end result. What amazed me though was how it literally shows the sun speeding up and slowing down, depending on how tight or wide the circuit was. Rob didn't do that. Stellarium did. This shows how the time of day remains consistent, whether in January or in June. I'm still awaiting globe evidence since page 1. Moon phases are shown here which should answer BUBBLES's questions. But no doubt the trolls won't understand what Rob is showing here. Sun an moon circuits should explain both phases ( upside down too) and eclipses.https://youtu.be/R52_PdZlSq8?t=19
