Your paper plate analogy fails because in your analogy I'm required to turn around and look at the plate. Your plate analogy works for stars we see in the North, but I'm talking stars we see in the South, towards the "ice wall". They're the same stars looking "south" from Australia as they are from South America, when in your model I should be looking in completely opposite directions.
I'm just picking the easiest to type out the explanation. We'll get to the others if we can close this one, but there's lots of issues on why your explanation fails.
you're not too bright are you?....I've said this many times previously, please use some logic first before asking questions.
If you look at the FE map, Australia and South America are on opposite sides (time-zones) meaning when night time in SA and looking at the stars, it is daytime in Australia.
9-12 hours later when it becomes night time in Australia, the stars (attached to the dome) have rotated and are now above (looking south).
Does this explanation make sense now?
