The Arctic and Antarctic Prove Flat Earth





If the Earth were truly a globe, the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions and areas of comparable latitude North and South of the equator should share similar conditions and characteristics such as comparable temperatures, seasonal changes, length of daylight, plant and animal life.  In reality, however, the Arctic/Antarctic regions and areas of comparable latitude North/South of the equator differ greatly in many ways.

If the earth be the globe of popular belief, the same amount of heat and cold, summer and winter, should be experienced at the same latitudes North and South of the Equator.  The same number of plants and animals would be found, and the same general conditions exist.  That the very opposite is the case, disproves the globular assumption.  The great contrasts between places at the same latitudes North and South of the Equator, is a strong argument against the received doctrine of the rotundity of the earth.”  -Thomas Winship, “Zetetic Cosmogeny” (8)

Antarctica is by far the coldest place on Earth with an average annual temperature of approximately -57 degrees Farenheit, and a record low of -135.8!  The average annual temperature at the North Pole, however, is a comparatively warm 4 degrees.  Throughout the year, temperatures in the Antarctic vary less than half the amount at comparable Arctic latitudes.  The Northern Arctic region enjoys moderately warm summers and manageable winters, whereas the Southern Antarctic region never even warms enough to melt the perpetual snow and ice. 

This uniformity of temperature partly accounts for the great accumulation of ice which is formed not on account of the great severity of the winter, but because there is practically no summer to melt it.  In the Antarctic there is eternal winter and snow never melts.  As far north as a man has travelled he has found reindeer and hare basking in the sun, and country brilliant with rich flora; within the Antarctic circle no plant is to be found.”  -Thomas Winship, “Zetetic Cosmogeny” (9)

The island of Kerguelen at 49 degrees Southern latitude has only 18 species of native plants that can survive its hostile climate.  Compare this with the island of Iceland at 65 degrees Northern latitude, 16 degrees further North of the equator than Kerguelen is South, yet Iceland is home to 870 species of native plants.  On the Isle of Georgia, just 54 degrees Southern latitude, the same latitude as Canada or England in the North, where dense forests of various tall trees abound, the infamous Captain Cook wrote that he was unable to find a single shrub large enough to make a toothpick!  Cook wrote, “Not a tree was to be seen.  The lands which lie to the south are doomed by nature to perpetual frigidness - never to feel the warmth of the sun’s rays; whose horrible and savage aspect I have not words to describe.  Even marine life is sparse in certain tracts of vast extent, and the sea-bird is seldom observed flying over such lonely wastes.  The contrasts between the limits of organic life in Arctic and Antarctic zones is very remarkable and significant.  Vegetables and land animals are found at nearly 80 degrees in the north; while from the parallel of 58 degrees in the south, the lichen, and such-like plants only, clothe the rocks, and seabirds and the cetaceous tribes alone are seen upon the desolate beaches.” 

In the Arctic there are 4 clearly distinguished seasons, warm summers, and an abundance of plant and animal life, none of which can be said of the Antarctic.  The Eskimo live as far North as the 79th parallel, whereas in the South no native man is found higher than the 56th.  Admiral Ferdinand von Wrangel, the 19th century Russian Arctic explorer, wrote how in the North, “Countless herds of reindeer, elks, black bears, foxes, sable and grey squirrels fill the upland forests; stone foxes and wolves roam over the low ground; enormous flights of swans, geese, and ducks arrive in spring, and seek deserts where they may moult, and build their nests in safety. Eagles, gulls, and owls pursue their prey along the sea-coast; ptarmigan run in troops among the bushes; little snipes are busy among the brooks and in the morasses; the social crows seek the neighbourhood of man's habitations; and when the sun shines in spring, one may sometimes even hear the cheerful note of the finch, and in autumn that of the thrush.

"Beyond the 70th degree of Southern latitude not a tree meets the eye, wearied with the white waste of snow; forests, woods, even shrubs have disappeared, and given place to a few lichens and creeping woody plants, which scantily clothe the indurated soil. Still, in the farthest north, Nature claims her birthright of beauty; and in the brief and rapid summer she brings forth numerous flowers and grasses, to bloom for a few days, to be again blasted by the swiftly-recurring winter. The rapid fervour of an arctic summer had already (June 1st) converted the snowy waste into luxuriant pasture-ground, rich in flowers and grass, with almost the same lively appearance as that of an English meadow."  -W. & R. Chambers, “Arctic Explorations”

In New Zealand situated at 42 degrees Southern latitude, on the Winter Solstice the Sun rises at 4:31am and sets at 7:29pm, making the longest day of the year 14 hours and 58 minutes.  On the Summer Solstice, the New Zealand Sun rises at 7:29am and sets at 4:31pm, making the shortest day 9 hours and 2 minutes long.  Meanwhile, in England, a full 10 degrees farther North of the equator than New Zealand lies South, the longest day is 16 hours and 34 minutes, the shortest day 7 hours and 45 minutes.  Therefore the longest day in New Zealand is 1 hour and 36 minutes shorter than the longest day in England, and the shortest day in New Zealand is 1 hour and 17 minutes longer than the shortest day in England.

William Swainson, an Englishman who emigrated and became Attorney General of New Zealand in the mid-19th century lived in both countries for decades and wrote of their differences, stating, “The range of temperature is limited, there being no excess of either heat or cold; compared with the climate of England, the summer of New Zealand is but very little warmer though considerably longer.  Even in summer, people here have no notion of going without fires in the evening; but then, though the days are very warm and sunny, the nights are always cold. For seven months last summer, we had not one day that the sun did not shine as brilliantly as it does in England in the finest day in June; and though it has more power here, the heat is not nearly so oppressive.  But then there is not the twilight which you get in England. Here it is light till about eight o'clock, then, in a few minutes, it becomes too dark to see anything, and the change comes over in almost no time.  The seasons are the reverse of those in England. Spring commences in September, summer in December, autumn in April, and winter in June. The days are an hour shorter at each end of the day in summer, and an hour longer in the winter than in England."

In the Flat-Earth model of the cosmos, these Arctic/Antarctic phenomena are easily accounted for and exactly what would be expected.  If the Sun circles over and around the Earth every 24 hours, steadily travelling from Tropic to Tropic every 6 months, it follows that the Northern, central region would annually receive far more heat and sunlight than the Southern circumferential region.  Since the Sun must sweep over the larger Southern region in the same 24 hours it has to pass over the smaller Northern region, its passage must necessarily be proportionally faster as well.  This is why the Antarctic morning dawn and evening twilight are very abrupt, whereas in the extreme North twilight continues for hours after sunset and many midsummer nights the Sun does not set at all!

If the sun is fixed, and the earth revolves underneath it, the same phenomena would exist at the same distance on each side of the equator; but such is not the case! What can operate to cause the twilight in New Zealand to be so much more sudden, or the nights so much colder than in England? The southern ‘hemisphere’ cannot revolve more rapidly than the northern! The latitudes are about the same, and the distance round a globe would be the same at 50° south as at 50° north, and as the whole would revolve once in twenty-four hours, the surface at the two places would pass underneath the sun with the same velocity, and the light would approach in the morning, and recede in the evening in exactly the same manner, yet the very contrary is the fact!  … The constant sunlight of the north develops, with the utmost rapidity, numerous forms of vegetable life, and furnishes subsistence for millions of living creatures. But in the south, where the sunlight never dwells, or lingers about a central region, but rapidly sweeps over sea and land, to complete in twenty-four hours the great circle of the southern circumference, it has not time to excite and stimulate the surface; and, therefore, even in comparatively low southern latitudes, everything wears an aspect of desolation.  These differences in the north and south could not exist if the earth were a globe, turning upon axes underneath a non-moving sun. The two hemispheres would at the same latitudes have the same degree of light and heat, and the same general phenomena, both in kind and degree. The peculiarities which are found in the south as compared with the north, are only such as could exist upon a stationary plane, having a northern centre, concentric with which is the path of the moving sun.”  -Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!” (116-121)

Every year the Sun is as long south of the equator as he is north; and if the Earth were not ‘stretched out’ as it is, in fact, but turned under, as the Newtonian theory suggests it would certainly get as intensive a share of the Sun's rays south as north; but the Southern region being, in consequence of the fact stated, - far more extensive than the region North, the Sun, having to complete his journey round every twenty-four hours, travels quicker as he goes further south, from September to December, and his influence has less time in which to accumulate at any given point. Since, then the facts could not be as they are if the Earth were a globe, it is a proof that the Earth is not a globe.”  -William Carpenter, “100 Proofs the Earth is Not a Globe” (53)

Eric.
If the ball earth model were correct, and the orbit around the sun were correct, then we would have to change our clocks by a full hour every two weeks. Otherwise, after six months, high noon would occur at midnight, as we would be exactly halfway around the sun. We would be on the dark side of the earth at noon.

Hi Eric,

Do you have any theory as to why the sun is so much stronger and harsher in the southern hemisphere?

Unknown said...

Barzini I was just thinking on this as I read the article.

Perhaps, if there is a dome, the sun moves at a slower pace but at a greater height in the Northern Hemisplane while in the Southern Hemisplane it moves faster but lower to the ground.

This summer in Australia the midday sun certainly felt hot and low.
We had a 4 day period with daily temps above 40c (104f to 110f) and it fried the tops of many shrubs and small trees. Some plants just died and turned brown.

hi eric after the equinox i have a strong feeling the equator is in the wrong place..... i live just 1 degree north of the equator but i think the real equator is somewhere at 8 degrees north which just recorded record high temperatures ..... the southern tip of india is called kanya kumari which means the young virgin symbolising virgo which is where the equator really is and also the marking of the tropics is wrong

Barzini said...

Thanks XXx

Yes the sun in the southern hemisphere is a totally different beast, in Europe I only need to put on a tiny bit of sun cream even in the middle of summer, in New Zealand however I was getting burned even in spring time and had to be really careful

Thank you for the informative update, Eric. It's becoming more and more difficult for heliocentrists to argue the presumed validity of their model.

Barzini said...

How come the moon is upside down in the southern hemisphere?

Flat Earth is a 2D model...Round Earth is a 3D model...Both models are one in the same...It would explain the laws of perspective making it appear to be going down as it moves farther away...The sun moves across us, thus creating different time zones...we interpret that as the sun coming up or going down thus creating the illusion that the earth is round and the sun is rising and setting...when in reality it is just moving out of our vision...Love the site by the way

Notice in the picture with the UN logo and the flattened globe, the globe has been flattened from the top...when we are shown a flat image of the globe in typical textbooks, we see it from the side perspective...Making us believe that one would fall right off the edge...We are being duped into believing that flat earth is impossible...We are being fed a misrepresentation to intentionally deter us from knowing the truth

Thanks Eric for effort and detail of all your work! I also just finished your book"Flat Earth Conspiracy" and all I can say is it is utterly phenomenal. So perfectly arranged, so easily followed, so easily understood, so well illustrated and so absolutely convincing! If any of you out there have not read this book you are nuts!
By the way, I believe I have found a way to explain the cause of the west to east Jet Stream and the prevailing winds. I would like to pass this by you Eric first before promoting this or posting it. I do not know the best way to get this to you. I also have several major prospective publications in which I want to promote the geocentric flat earth model and links to your sites and videos. Could you or someone let me know how to get this one page word document to Eric? at: dwebster@saveourchurch.org

All of this is very good, but how do we explain the phenomenon of polar day which is said to occur around the winter solstice in the Antarctic Circle? This phenomenon of polar day makes perfect sense in the Arctic Circle around the summer solstice, but I can't figure out how it would work on the flat earth model in the Antarctic Circle. Is it just a lie that it occurs? I have seen some information about tours of the Antarctic which mention the very long days in the winter months much like what is experienced in the summer months in the Arctic Circle, and this was mentioned in this blog post. There are no permanent settlements of humans within the Antarctic Circle, and nearly all information available about the polar day phenomenon is for the Arctic Circle.
