I keep an open mind about everything but not so open my brains fall out. We have seasons and that is nicely explained by the tilt of the earth on it's axis to move us closer and further away from the sun. That said there are other models that could explain that phenomena too.
The amazing thing to me about life is the very small tolerances that make it possible. If things were even slightly different in the Universe, life would be impossible.
If Antarctica surrounded our known Earth, the distance to circumnavigate Antarctica should be longer than circumnavigating the Equator. Right?
Also why are the poles very cold, but the equator is warm?
Yes. Circumnavigating Antarctica would take waaaay longer. I can't recall the guy's name offhand, but one explorer literally just gave the fuck up when he attempted it. The sun isn't a massive far away fire ball. It's actually a small and close. Here's a model to explain the seasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbec8CyHf30
I don't understand the first question. As for the second, imagine a basketball whose top tilts ever so slightly towards a fire and then away from it. The equatorial parts of the ball will be closer to the fire than the bottom or top. Ergo seasons and cold poles. Don't forget, the poles also warm up during "summer". Just not so much as to melt the ice.
It works that way on the flat earth model too. Here's a good flat earth model. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbec8CyHf30

That's the story anyway... They want you to think you're just an accident. Just an inconsequential grain of sand floating in space.
Good point.
