The North Star, also known as Polaris, is a celestial object in the night sky that plays a significant role in the flat Earth belief held by some individuals. According to flat Earth theory, the North Star's consistent position in the northern sky, relative to the observer's location, is explained by the following concepts:
1. Polaris as the North Pole: Flat Earthers claim that the North Star, Polaris, is located directly above the North Pole, serving as the center of the flat Earth. They argue that the star remains fixed in the same position because it is situated over the center point of their proposed flat Earth model.
2. Geocentric Model: Flat Earthers often adhere to a geocentric model, which places the Earth at the center of the universe. In this model, Polaris is considered the "center of the universe" or the "cosmic axis" around which all other celestial objects, including the Sun, Moon, and stars, revolve.
3. Celestial Dome: Flat Earthers believe in the existence of a "celestial dome" or "firmament" that covers the flat Earth. In this view, the stars, including Polaris, are fixed to the inside of the dome, which is why Polaris remains in a constant position relative to the observer on Earth.
It's important to emphasize that the overwhelming scientific consensus, supported by centuries of astronomical observations, demonstrates that the Earth is an oblate spheroid, not flat. Polaris's position in the northern sky can be easily explained by the Earth's axial tilt and its rotation, rather than any flat Earth model.
The explanation provided by the scientific community is based on the Earth's axis of rotation, which points toward Polaris in the northern hemisphere. As the Earth rotates, Polaris appears to remain relatively stationary in the northern sky, serving as a reliable reference point for navigation.
While flat Earth theories continue to exist, they are widely discredited by the scientific community due to their lack of empirical evidence and failure to explain a multitude of observed phenomena.
I want to run my own node using green energy. I don't have that bridge to tap into the seed fund capital.
I want to host an cricket event where the winning price will be paid in satoshis. Eventually leads to superhyper bitcoinization. I will post the Proof-of-Work.
