Flat Earth Science Podcast Episode 3: Austin and Jeran confirm the 24hr Sun in Antartica!

The movie and book cover the same story of the science and math behind this adventure and led us to verifying the accuracy of the Flat Earth model. It’s not just a documentary of this trip, but a look into why the Flat Earth model requires a 24hr Sun in Antarctica and how we can utilize existing models such as the Firmament Trackers Flat Earth App to show how this works and follow along with the Glerfs on Ice in real...

Visualization Layer vs Data Layer in Models

"The 3D visualization is just a rendering engine - it takes coordinates and displays them. Whether those coordinates come from VSOP87, direct observations, or manually entered positions doesn't affect the accuracy of the visualization itself. We could swap out VSOP87 for direct observational data and the visualization would look exactly the same as long as the input coordinates match." - Dr. Steven Alonzo A globe model takes RA/Dec coordinates...

24hr Moon

Range of lunar declination: approximately +28.6° to -28.6° This range varies over an 18.6-year cycle, known as the lunar nodal cycle. The Moon will not be visible in Union Glacier at all during the trip. It will have a Celestial Declination ranging between 14° to 29° meaning it is above the Tropic of Cancer whereas the Sun will have a Celestial Declination of -23° meaning it will be in your perspective since it's above the Tropic of...

Matrix Theory: Relativity Without Relative Space or Time

This is a required video lecture 25min for all our second year students. Let us consider a classic relativity scenario. Your friend gets on a rocket ship and blasts off towards Mars at nearly the speed of light. During this journey his clocks tick slower, his lengths contract, and when he arrives to his destination he has aged less than everyone back on Earth. But that's not the only side to this story because from your friend's perspective...

The Final Experiment Challenge #3 Submission

To find the distance at 53°S, we multiply this equatorial distance by the cosine of the latitude. Globe-based result: 66.90 km Flat earth result: 67.01 km Absolute difference: 0.11 km (110 meters) Percentage difference: 0.16% Dr. Alonzo -The Final Experiment: Challenge #3 - SubmissionDownload The use of the cosine function in our formula comes from observational evidence. When we measure the apparent distances between meridians of longitude at...
