Do you know what it takes to make a shot from that range?

The fucking Coriolis effect!

So is the firmament a dome that completely encircles the Earth?

Because for your model to work it would require the firmament rotating around the center, but also moving in off-directions so we see stars in different locations each night.

You can just test it in your own sink at home. Let it fill, pull the plug, record which way it drains.

You can find in literally every physics textbook that talks about the coriolis effect that it doesn't influence whirlpools.

It does influence winds, because winds (gasses) are less dense than liquids and so can be influenced by much smaller effects.


I'm not just making this up, you can google any number of "coriolis effect myth" articles or any undergrad physics book.



Funny thing is I'm not being a prick at all. I've just made statements of fact.

But he seems like somebody who takes all disagreement as persecution.

Oh well, he also seems young, which means he'll likely grow out of it.



Looks like he might have actually went and read a book on the subject lol

it is always "slow voice talk" with people who refuse to conduct any research and need to be spoon fed everything...

so, take a flat disc item like a large dinner plate or ceramic pizza tray, then grab a large bowl or colander or similar item and place it down on the plate/tray (face down, not up) this represents the dome/firmament.
now place hand on the top of the upturned bowl/colander and turn it clockwise, this represents the dome rotating each day, and the stars are attached (on the inside of the upturned bowl)....polaris is in the center of the bowl and never moves even when bowl rotates.

ok?

can u prove it didn't happen?
before u try to embarrass yourself with an answer, use some logic....what does the (written) story say happened after Babel tower was destroyed?
and how many languages are now used across the flat earth continents today???

Yeah, I could say the same about you, because you continually answer with statements that don't address my concern.

Why then do stars change their position when measured at the same time each day throughout the year?

Just like the Greek story of Persephone explains why we have seasons.

After the events in the story we have 4 seasons. Coincidence?
