[Music] NASA and modern astronomy say the Earth is a giant globe spinning a thousand mph around its central axis, traveling 67,000 mph circles around the sun, spiraling 500,000 mph around the Milky Way, while the entire galaxy rockets a ridiculous 670 million mph through the universe with all of these motions originating from an alleged Big Bang cosmogenic explosion 14 billion years ago.
That's a grand total of 670,568,000 mph in several different directions were all supposedly speeding along at simultaneously. No one has ever seen, felt, heard, measured, or proven such motion. Yet the vast majority of people unquestioningly accept that the clearly motionless Earth beneath their feet is actually moving over 600 million miles hour.
NASA and modern astronomy say Polaris, the North Pole star, is somewhere between 323 and 434 light years or about 2 quadrillion miles away from us. Firstly, note that is between 1.9 quadrillion to 2.6 quadrillion miles, making a difference of over 600 trillion miles. If modern astronomy cannot even agree on the distance to stars within hundreds of trillions of miles, perhaps their science is flawed and their theory needs re-examining.
However, even granting them their obscurely distant stars, heliocentric astronomers cannot adequately explain how Polaris manages to always remain perfectly aligned straight above the North Pole. If the globe Earth was really spinning west to east 1,000 mph, orbiting the sun counterclockwise at 67,000 mph, spiraling around the outer arms of the Milky Way at 500,000 mph, while shooting through the universe at 670 million mph, how is it even conceptually possible that Polaris, two quadrillion miles away, day after day, year after year, always maintains its alignment straight above ove the north pole. That would mean from two quadrillion miles away, Polaris would have to be perfectly mirroring Earth's several simultaneous wobbling, spinning, spiraling, and shooting motions. Polaris would have to be shooting the same direction through the universe at exactly 670 million mph. It would have to be following the same 500,000 mph, 225 millionyear spiral around the Milky Way and mirroring the same 67,000 mph, 365day orbit around our sun, or the Earth is stationary as common sense and everyday experience testifies.
William Carpenter wrote, "It is supposed in the regular course of the Newtonian theory that the Earth is in June about 190 million miles away from its position in December. Now, since we can in middle north latitudes see the North Star on looking out of a window that faces it and out of the very same corner of the very same pane of glass in the very same window all the year round, it is proof enough for any man in his senses that we have made no motion at all."
Not only this, but viewed from a ball Earth, Polaris, situated almost straight over the North Pole, should not be visible anywhere in the southern hemisphere. For Polaris to be seen from the southern hemisphere of a globular Earth, the observer would have to be somehow looking through the globe, and miles of land and sea would have to be transparent. Polaris can be seen, however, up to approximately 23.5° south latitude.
Dr. Robotham wrote, "If the Earth is a sphere and the pole star hangs over the northern axis, it would be impossible to see it for a single degree beyond the equator or 90° from the pole. The line of sight would become a tangent to the sphere and consequently several thousand miles of and divergent from the direction of the pole star. Many cases, however, are on record of the north pole star being visible far beyond the equator, as far even as the Tropic of Capricorn."
William Carpenter wrote, "The astronomer's theory of a globular Earth necessitates the conclusion that if we travel south of the equator to see the North Star is an impossibility. Yet, it is well known that this star has been seen by navigators when they have been more than 20° south of the equator. This fact, like hundreds of other facts, puts the theory to shame and gives us a proof that the Earth is not a globe."
To account for this glaring problem in their model, desperate helioentrists since the late 19th century have claimed the ball earth actually tilts a convenient 23.5° back on its vertical axis. Even this brilliant revision to their theory cannot account for the visibility of many other constellations. Though for instance, Ursa Major, very close to Polaris, can be seen from 90° north latitude, the North Pole, all the way down to 30° south latitude. The constellation Vulpa can be seen from 90° north latitude all the way to 55° south latitude. Taurus, Pisces, and Leo can be seen from 90° north all the way to 65° south. Aquarius, and Libra can be seen from 65° north to 90° south. The constellation Virgo is visible from 80° north down to 80° south. And Orion can be seen from 85° north all the way to 75° south latitude. An observer on a ball Earth, regardless of any tilt or inclination, would not logically be able to see this far.
Dr. Samuel Robotham wrote, "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, supposed pole star included, sweep over a great southern ark 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, the 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."
Some helioentrists have even tried to suggest that the pole stars gradual declination overhead as an observer travels southwards is proof of a globular earth. Far from it. The declination of the pole star or any other object is simply a result of the law of perspective. The law of perspective dictates that the angle and height at which an object is seen diminishes the farther one recedes from the object until at a certain point the line of sight and the seemingly uprising surface of the earth converges to a vanishing point i.e. the horizon line beyond which the object is invisible.
Thomas Winship wrote, "If we select a flat street a mile long containing a row of lamps, it will be noticed that from where we stand, the lamps gradually decline to the ground, the last one being apparently quite on the ground. Take the lamp at the end of the street and walk away from it 100 yards, and it will appear to be much nearer to the ground than it was when we were close to it. Keep on walking away from it, and it will appear to be gradually depressed until it is last seen on the ground and then disappears. Now according to the astronomers the whole mile was only depressed about 8 in from one end to the other. So that this 8 in could not account for the enormous depression of the light as we recede from it. This proves that the depression of the pole star can and does take place in relation to a flat surface simply because we increase our distance from it the same as from the street lamp. In other words, the farther away we get from any object above us, as a star, for example, the more it is depressed, and if we go far enough, it will sink or appear to sink to the horizon and then disappear. The writer has tried the street lamp many times with the same result."
And Dr. Robotham wrote, "It is often been urged that the Earth must be a globe because the stars in the southern hemisphere move around a south polar star in the same way that those of the north revolve around the northern pole star. This is another instance of the sacrifice of truth and denial of the evidence of our senses for the purpose of supporting a theory which is in every sense false and unnatural. It is known to every observer that the north pole star is the center of a number of constellations which move over the earth in a circular direction. Those nearest to it as the great bear etc are always visible in England during their whole 24 hours revolution. Those farther away southwards rise northnortheast and set southwest. Still further south, they rise east by north and set west by north. The farthest south visible from England, the rising is more to the east and southeast, and the setting to the west and southwest. But all the stars visible from London rise and set in a way which is not compatible with the doctrine of rotundity. For instance, if we stand with our backs to the north on the highland known as Arthur's Seat near Edinburgh and note the stars in the zenith of our position and watch for several hours, the zenith stars will gradually recede to the northwest. If we do the same on Woodhouse Moore near Leeds or on any of the mountain tops in Yorkshire or Derbishshire, the same phenomenon is observed. The same thing may be seen from the top of Primrose Hill near Regent's Park, London from Hamstead Heath, or Shooters Hill near Woolwitch. If we remain all night, we shall observe the same stars rising toward our position from the northeast, showing that the path of all the stars between ourselves and the northern center move around the North Pole star as a common center of rotation, just as they must do over a plane such as the Earth is proved to be. It is undeniable that upon a globe zenith stars would rise, pass overhead, and set in the plane of the observer's position. If now we carefully watch in the same way the zenith stars from the rock of Gibralar, the very same phenomenon is observed. The same is also the case from the Cape of Good Hope, Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, in New Zealand, in Rio di Janeiro, Monte Vidio, Valareerezo and other places in the south. If then the zenith stars of all the places on the earth where special observations have been made rise from the morning horizon to the zenith of an observer and descend to the evening horizon not in a plane of the position of such observer but in an arc of a circle concentric with the northern center. The earth is thereby proved to be a plane and rotundity altogether disproved shown indeed to be impossible."
