Put a flat earthier into space

[Nukehasslefan]

Am presuming it’s light and heat from your sun which sits in this massive hold covered by crystals
But then you said no light is emitting from this and surely we could detect the massive heat source coming from this hole?
Surely if a plane flew inadvertently over this hole it would just burn it to bits instantly?

First of all you cannot see light side on unless particles in the atmosphere allow it.
No vehicle would ever get close to the source.

What particles are they?

 

[Nukehasslefan]

No. The south pole and southern hemisphere are different.

They're still purported to be south on your supposed hemisphere.

 

[What A Waster]

They're still purported to be south on your supposed hemisphere.

Ushuaia is 55°S.
South pole is 90°S.

Newcastle is 55°N
North pole is 90°N.

We don't live at the North pole any more than Ushuaia is at the south pole.

You've got poles and hemispheres mixed up.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Then don't worry about it.

I find it amusing

What's the closest you could get?

 

[The Snockerty Friddle]

What's the closest you could get?

Lidl should be ok, but any further than the offie would be pushing it I reckon.

If the dome warped then it would give that effect so fair enough.

So now we have projection crystals that all move around a bit to shine the sun, stars, fake satellites, comets and other things, all moving independently in an area where there is no weather to block out the projector.

Nope. The crystals do not move.

The one that shines the sun moves the most, spinning around in 24 hours while also arcing back and forwards over the course of 12 months.

Nope.
You have a super carbon that is arcing within covered by crystals above. The super carbon is what is moving up and down and around, within.

When that light/sound hits the dome, the dome warps to give the impression of a sun observed from the globe and allowing the sun to appear overhead.

Sort of.

This rock hard absolute zero dome, 'breaths' with the power of super carbon arc crystal emissions but the visual effect of the sun warping the crystal is never seen.

There's nothing rock hard about it. It's merely a hydrogen/helium ice skin.
Compared to us down here it is extremely less dense than any ice we see and feel.
The sun does not warp any crystal. It creates a lower pressure as it passes each area of dome which in turn allows the dome to warp.

But as the sun moves around, the dome self heals, reverting back to a perfect smooth mirror, to show the stars at night without any warping in the reflections.

Not perfect but close to it as far as our vision is concerned. It would be fairly smooth as the sun passes over it but would leave small icicles as it is left to refreeze or go near dormant.

But this reflected sun can't be seen from anywhere under the dome like it would under a normal dome because of magic bending light, leaving the other half of the earth in complete darkness.

The suns waves will not travel that distance. You lose the heat and light as it moves away from you. It's got nothing to do with bending light and more to do with atmospheric density build over distance which blocks out the light to our vision to where people believe it's a global Earth just spinning away from it but clear nonsense when actually thought about/..

I think I'm following now and when I read the simplicity of that, I see what you mean when you say the global model is a series of fudges to make it work.

Aye. Even as a joke you don't realise that you're telling the truth about a globe.

Ushuaia 55°S. Cape Town 33°S. Hobart 55°S.

Ushuaia current local time. 05.45.
Cape Town current time 10.45.
Hobart current time 18.45.






On 21st December all these places will have daylight at the same time. Sunset in Hobart is 20.48, it's 11 hours ahead of Ushuaia. So for approximately 4 hour hours they're all simultaneously having sunlight.

Now, on a spherical globe that works.
On the flat/circle shaped one they're all over the place. How can the sun effectively shine for longer on the southern most tips of 3 continents across a range of about 15,000 miles (probably even greater distance in discworld), but keep more northern places darker.

Why does it get darker earlier the further north you go? Hobart and Ushuaia at 55°S get a longer day than Cape Town at 33°S for example. But hold on
.. 6 months later the further north you are the longer the days.
How does the reflection change its lightning up times, and centralize its light in May/June/July, but then ignore the centre in December and aim only at the circumference?

It's crazy stuff

What do you mean they work on a globe but not on a circle?

What particles are they?

Particles in the atmosphere. Dust and what not.

I find it amusing

Good for you. At least you won't get frustrated.

What's the closest you could get?

I don't know I've never been close to it.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Good for you. At least you won't get frustrated.

Why would I get frustrated? I like people who think differently. Makes the world interesting.

 

[ned_werby]

@Nukehasslefan - out of interest - what is beyond the 'dome'/'cell'?

 

[Nukehasslefan]

I see it a lot on here with some.
Good for you if you like alternates.

@Nukehasslefan - out of interest - what is beyond the 'dome'/'cell'?

Good question. My guess is more cells just like ours.

So what's in between them?

 

[The Snockerty Friddle]

Haway man Nuke... 100 pages in, I reckon it's time you got your crayons out and drew us a diagram explaining it all.

 

[Nukehasslefan]

So what's in between them?

Another good question. In my opinion probably some kind of superfluid, similar but maybe less dense than the dome ice skin of Earth.

Haway man Nuke... 100 pages in, I reckon it's time you got your crayons out and drew us a diagram explaining it all.

Maybe some of you computer graphics experts can put one together based on what I've said and I'll correct it as we go.
My crayons are cheap and I'll go off the lines when colouring in, etc.

Can we see across it?

 

[Nukehasslefan]

Can we see across it?

No.
All we can see is the ice dome and what is mirrored from it.
The reason the dome is mirroring is because lightwaves stop. The spectrum of colours are all absorbed beyond it.

I think your explanations are either strange delusions or a wind up. Either way, it is quite impressive imaginary world you have.

 

[Nukehasslefan]

You're absolutely entitled to think that, obviously.
It just may be imaginary but then again I don't believe it's any more imaginary than a spinning globe around a big fiery sun in a space vacuum...etc....etc.....etc.

I believe mine has a lot of logic to it but that logic of mine may be stark raving lunacy to you and others.

It is what it is.

It is utterly bonkers and has no consistency. You cannot explain the shadows on a stick.

I just have. What exactly are you after?
