No Midnight Sun in the Antarctic
There is some quack who
says that the Antarctic has a midnight sun and he has a video to
“prove” it. As flat earthers, we know that the Antarctic has NO
midnight sun, but if a person believes in the globe earth, he
wouldn't know this and believe that the video is true.
Then, there are other
differences between the North Pole and South Pole and that is covered
below. The difference is because the Antarctic does NOT get the sun
that the centre part of the earth (what others call the Northern
Hemisphere).
About the video what
was show about the “Midnight sun in the Antarctic” it's very easy
to take a video taken of the North Pole and say in the narration
“South Pole.” In other words, you are completely at the mercy of
the narrator of the editor, as the case may be.
“If the earth be a
globe, at midnight the eye would have to penetrate thousands of miles
of land and water even at 65 degrees North latitude, in order to see
the sun at midnight. That the sun can be seen for days together in
the Far North during the Northern summer, proves that there is
something very seriously wrong with the globular hypothesis. Besides
this how is it that the midnight sun is never seen in the south
during the southern summer? Cook penetrated as far South as 71
degrees, Weddell in 1893 reached as far as 74 degrees, and Sir James
C. Ross in 1841 and 1842 reached the 78th parallel, but I am not
aware that any of these navigators have left it on record that the
sun was seen at midnight in the south.” -Thomas Winship,
“Zetetic Cosmogeny”
Heliocentrists also
cannot explain why the Midnight Sun phenomenon is not experienced
anywhere in the Southern hemisphere at any time of year. Quite to the
contrary, it has been recorded by the Royal Belgian Geographical
Society in “Expedition Antarctique Belge,” that during the most
severe part of the Antarctic winter, from 71 degrees South latitude
onwards, the sun sets on May 17th and is not seen above the horizon
again until July 21st! This is completely at odds with the ball-Earth
theory, but easily explained by the flat-Earth model. The Midnight
Sun is seen from high altitudes in extreme Northern latitudes during
Arctic summer because the Sun, at its inner-most cycle, is circling
tightly enough around the polar centre that it remains visible above
the horizon for someone at such a vantage point. Likewise, in extreme
Southern latitudes during Arctic summer, the Sun completely
disappears from view for over 2 months because there at the Northern
Tropic, at the inner-most arc of its boomerang journey, the Sun is
circling the Northern centre too tightly to be seen from the Southern
circumference.
“It is evident that
in the great encircling oceans of the south, and the numerous islands
and parts of continents, which exist beyond that part of the earth
where the sun is vertical, cannot have their days and nights,
seasons, etc., precisely like those in the northern region. The north
is a centre, and the south is that centre radiated or thrown out to a
vast oceanic circumference, terminating in circular walls of ice,
which form an impenetrable frozen barrier. Hence the phenomena
referred to as existing in the north must be considerably modified in
the south, For instance, the north being central, the light of the
sun advancing and receding, gives long periods of alternate light and
darkness at the actual centre; but in the far south, the sun, even
when moving in his outer path, can only throw its light to a certain
distance, beyond which there must be perpetual darkness. No evidence
exists of there being long periods of light and darkness regularly
alternating, as in the north. In the north, in summer-time, when the
sun is moving in its inner path, the light shines continually for
months together over the central region, and rapidly develops
numerous forms of animal and vegetable life.” - Dr. Samuel
Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!”
“The supposition that
the seasons are caused by the Earth’s annual motion round the Sun
at a mean distance of 92,500,000 of miles, is grotesque. According to
Piazzi the size of the Sun is in proportion to the Earth, as 329,360
to 1, the diameter exceeds that of the Earth 112 times. The Earth
appears, as Biot says, by this statement, ‘a mere grain of sand, as
compared to the Sun.’ This enormous expanse of light focused on a
rotating ‘grain of sand,’ at the distance of 93 millions of
miles, would cause the same season throughout it. The paltry few
miles, in comparison that separates London from Cape Town could never
cause diverse seasons, neither would the distance from London to the
Riviera justify the difference in the climate that characterizes the
two places.” -E. Eschini, “Foundations of Many Generations”
“The theory of the
rotation of the earth may once and for all be definitely disposed of
as impracticable by pointing out the following inadvertence. It is
said that the rotation takes twenty-four hours and that its speed is
uniform, in which case, necessarily, days and nights should have an
identical duration of twelve hours each all the year round. The sun
should invariably rise in the morning and set in the evening at the
same hours, with the result that it would be the equinox every day
from the 1st of January to the 31st of December. One should stop and
reflect on this before saying that the earth has a movement of
rotation. How does the system of gravitation account for the seasonal
variations in the lengths of days and nights if the earth rotates at
a uniform speed in twenty-four hours!?” -Gabrielle Henriet,
“Heaven and Earth”
“Another thing is
certain, that from within the equator the north pole star, and the
constellations Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and many others, can be seen
from every meridian simultaneously; whereas in the south, from the
equator, neither the so-called south pole star, nor the remarkable
constellation of the Southern Cross, can be seen simultaneously from
every meridian, showing that all the constellations of the south -
pole star included - sweep over a great southern arc and across the
meridian, from their rise in the evening to their setting in the
morning. But if the earth is a globe, Sigma Octantis, a south pole
star, and the Southern Cross, a southern circumpolar constellation,
they would all be visible at the same time from every longitude on
the same latitude, as is the case with the northern pole star and the
northern circumpolar constellations. Such, however, is not the case.”
-Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!”
They also had to add a
"wobble" to the "tilt" to try and make their
make-shift "seasons" model work. Unfortunately for them,
you can prove in your backyard the Earth does not wobble (or rotate
around the Sun for that matter) by keeping track of the meridian
lines/times of stars and seeing that they do not accordingly change
throughout the year due to Earth's supposed wobbling and spinning
around the Sun.
“Take two
carefully-bored metallic tubes, not less than six feet in length, and
place them one yard asunder, on the opposite sides of a wooden frame,
or a solid block of wood or stone: so adjust them that their centres
or axes of vision shall be perfectly parallel to each other. Now,
direct them to the plane of some notable fixed star, a few seconds
previous to its meridian time. Let an observer be stationed at each
tube and the moment the star appears in the first tube let a loud
knock or other signal be given, to be repeated by the observer at the
second tube when he first sees the same star. A distinct period of
time will elapse between the signals given. The signals will follow
each other in very rapid succession, but still, the time between is
sufficient to show that the same star is not visible at the same
moment by two parallel lines of sight when only one yard asunder. A
slight inclination of the second tube towards the first tube would be
required for the star to be seen through both tubes at the same
instant. Let the tubes remain in their position for six months; at
the end of which time the same observation or experiment will produce
the same results--the star will be visible at the same meridian time,
without the slightest alteration being required in the direction of
the tubes: from which it is concluded that if the earth had moved one
single yard in an orbit through space, there would at least be
observed the slight inclination of the tube which the difference in
position of one yard had previously required. But as no such
difference in the direction of the tube is required, the conclusion
is unavoidable, that in six months a given meridian upon the earth's
surface does not move a single yard, and therefore, that the earth
has not the slightest degree of orbital motion." -Samuel
Rowbotham, "Zetetic Astronomy"
Another thing to
consider is that the amount of vegetation that goes in the far North,
such as Canada is more than what is grown in equal latitude south of
the equator – the reason being is that the North gets more sun in
their summer time than what the South gets in its summer time.
Another proof that the southern hemisphere doesn't get as much sun as
the norther hemesphere. (I should use Eric Dubay's wording [I think
he coined it] and call it “hemisflat!”
