If the earth is a flat disk, how is it that i can stand in Antarctica on December 21st and observe the sun circle around my head? I have multiple friends who have worked at different stations there who have all confirmed this to be the case.
If the earth were a flat disk and the sun spiraling overhead between the tropics, wouldn't the southern summer solstice be the day when the sun is both closest to an Antarctic observer (at local noon) but also the furthest? (At local midnight)
I've been close enough to the arctic in June when the sun doesn't set for months. I've also been there in December when the sun never rises months. The Northern lights (Aurora Borealis) are beautiful. The difference between the piddly ones you see further South and in the far North is similar to the difference in seeing stars from inside a big city vs. seeing the stars out on the ocean with no land in sight.
Have you been to Antarctica? I have not been there, but as i stated before i have several friends who have worked Antarctic summers at McMurdo and other bases. Each has told me in detail about the experience, and I have specifically asked about the sun. You could probably get a job there too if you wanted to see the circling sun for yourself.
I watched the video you posted and have seen that clip dissected by Flat Earth Advocates before- the actual cut is right about 1 minute into the original clip, at about 4:42 of the video you posted, and it uses a fade transition. You can see a vehicle suddenly appear in the background. It was an editing choice for the film that clip comes from to start and end at the mountain. You might find that misleading and I find it unnecessary, but lucky for you there are plenty of unedited versions of similar clips on youtube you can watch. Now let's just say that you reject them all and claim they are all faked or are lacking in sufficient evidence to demonstrate a circling sun. If that is the case then my question is this- What level of evidence would you need in order to accept that the sun circles around an observer in Antarctica during its summer? Would you believe it if you saw it in person? Would you believe it if a close friend or family member of yours saw it in person?
All that being said, I don't think the circling Antarctic sun is the definitive last word in dismantling Flat Earth Cosmology- it has several other major conflicts with simple observations.
