What needs further research? Conclusion from Dr. Alonzo

In Dr. Alonzo’s opinion only section 2, 6, and 7 require further research and can be given a yellow rating for danger at the current moment. None of these are red flags for the Flat Earth model as there are theoretical concepts which allow for it. If we accept section 2 “Distance Between Meridians” as true, this means the Flat Earth measures into a globe despite being flat, meaning that for section 6 and 7 we have to account for that with Lorentz Ether Length Transformations which is speculative at this stage of academic research. Dr. Alonzo believes a Lorentz Ether Length Transformation is also the best approach when we are not contesting the data and the assumption is that flight paths, duration, and times are correct. Meaning that from the extreme example, walking around the edge of the Firmament is the same relative speed as walking around North Pole.

These would be considered the only “yellow flags” in the academic consensus after reviewing how all 12 of The Final Experiments not only validate, but fit within the Flat Earth model. There are no red flags found. Most of the experiments such as 24hr Sun or Moon are green flags as the Flat Earth model requires them.

1) Equatorial Mount

Best place to learn about these mini domes is in Stellarium. This is trusted by globers so it allows you to introduce unknown concepts to them easier. Since globe models don’t allow for multiple observers, and only support single observers, they can often be confused the first time they come across Flat Earth models which do support multiple observers, and in this case we can use the Dr. Marsh Globe Model to show the 3rd person view that Stellarium does not allow.

Then it’s important to understand how this is just a flat earth projection onto the globe model. Because a local tangent is flat but the globe is curved, it’s impossible to make it fit; unlike how in the more realistic Flat Earth model, it lays flat and touches the ground.

2) Distance Between Meridians

The Flat Earth does measure the same distances of a globe model despite being flat. This lets us conclude that the two models must be reversed engineered from each other. Whichever one is real, the other was reverse engineered from it.

3) Weight Variation

Gauss’ Law of Gravity allows us to discover the gravitational field due to an infinite flat plane of mass. Because Gauss’ Law of Gravity is derived directly from Newton’s law, this is not debatable and must be accepted by anyone approaching the discussion in good faith.

So that we can have a gravitational force that decreases with height and is strongest at the poles and weakest the equator, matching the WGS84 predictions of height from a globe which becomes directly proportional to:
Vertical gradient in surface mass density (σ) to make gravity decrease with altitude.
Lateral gradient (across the plane) where: σ is strongest at the poles, weakest at the equator.

Proportionality because the actual gradient surface mass density doesn’t need to be measured nor known to show the relationship and the proof of concept. Remember this is a valid physical modeling approach. Many theoretical models in physics start with “scaling laws” or proportional relationships before moving to measurable constants. Our goal is just to show it works perfectly fine within the Flat Earth model.

Showing that the teal line used for “flat earth” only represents the gravity denying group. Many Flat Earthers do deny gravity and it’s sad. For them they have no model, cannot make any claims, and cannot make any predispositions. As Senior Flat Earth Researchers we know that the Force of Gravity can be measured objectively in real life and we know that the Flat Earth model requires it through Gauss’ Law of Gravity. We also know that Earth must rest upon an infinite plane since the gravitational vectors observered in real life so point the ground and not to the center of a floating disc in space.

This is how the universe looks in real life. The Gleason Map (North Polar AE) which is what we call “Earth” is finite and has fixed dimensions we know since latitude is not debated nor distorted. Earth rests upon an infinite plane which I call the universe.

4) Crossing Antarctica

No one ever crosses directly due South on the compass. Instead they go off angle slightly. For example on your compass South is going to be labeled at 180 degrees, so instead, all you do is actually go 179.99 degrees or 180.01 degrees which will allow you wrap around the Firmament.

Understanding that is based on the assumption they even did what they claimed. They could be lying. There may be land beyond the poles.

5) Shadow Predictions

Teaching someone how a sundial works after they learned about the Equatorial Grid allows the concept to make perfect sense. The sundial stick is pointed towards either the North Celestial Pole or the South Celestial Poles. The sun moves around the Equatorial Grid. Radius of EQ grid / stick is arbitrary size.

This also matches McToon’s shadow predictions from The Final Experiment. At Union Glacier we would point our sundial stick 80 degrees since our latitude is 80 degrees and the south celestial pole is 80 degrees. These 1:1 ratios and right angle triangles are also good indicator that we live on a flat earth.

6) South Pole Flights

This would fall under section 4) Crossing Antarctica assuming we are not talking about south pole flight times or distances which would fall under section 7) Southern Hemisphere Flights which is below:

7) Southern Hemisphere Flights

8) The South Pole

Globers tend to use this as a way to combine magnetic poles, geographic poles, and celestial poles. Establish the clear difference between all three.

Magnetic Poles: Related to the magnetic force only. Flat Earth has a radial magnetic field with one magnetic north pole and an infinite south magnetic poles.

Geographic Poles: Physical matter. This has to do with the surface you live on. Important to remember that longitude is an infinite coordinate system we know that a south geographic pole cannot actually exist at -90 latitude south and therefore the longitude begins to matter on Flat Earth.

On the Firmament Trackers Flat Earth Model we discovered that the Geographic South pole is located at Longitude -139. This would be south-east of New Zealand and south-west of north america.

This is why it is so important to use uncensored tools unlike Google Maps that won’t let you discover the true locations of places. The Firmament Trackers Flat Earth Model has a custom mapping platform in the Academic Version. It’s like Google Maps but for Flat Earth.

Celestial Poles: Visual only. This has to do with what you see. This is discussed in section 10 below.

9) Sunrise & Sunset Direction

Very simple application of the Equatorial Grid. You can see in the photos below the left image shows the sunrise and right image shows the sunset. Notice where the South Celestial Pole is and the angle it’s aligned? You can visually imagine what would happen if you pushed it down more, the sun would no longer be visible. The math is very simple since it’s a 1:1 ration of latitude to celestial declination. Move 10 degrees South. This EQ grid is lowered 10 degrees. Likewise we also know the location of the sun (celestial declination 23) and the observers latitude around 53 degrees so we know the offset of the EQ grid.

10) South Celestial Pole

Very simple to understand since longitude is a continuous coordinate system we therefore have an infinite amount of south celestial poles.

11) 24hr Moon in Antarctica

Works the same as every other celestial object.

12) 24hr Sun in Antarctica

Works the same as every other celestial object. Easiest to measure and predict since the Sun follows the exact same pattern every year. A celestial declination range of 23 to -23. So in December we know the Ground Position (physical latitude and longitude that the Sun is directly above). This allows us to easily confirm against any latitude whether or not it will be visible for 24hrs. This is how we knew for certain prior to TFE that the Flat Earth model requires and predicts this 24hr Sun. To clarify, TFE can be entirely fake, and the Flat Earth model will still require and predict the 24hr Sun in Union Glacier. The math and science is how we know of this.

The Primacy of the Graticule

The graticule—that network of longitude and latitude lines forming our planetary coordinate system—exists first as a mathematical abstraction. It is a human-created framework imposed upon physical reality to make sense of spatial relationships. Neither inherently spherical nor flat, the graticule is a conceptual tool that precedes any physical representation.

Consider this sequence of derivation:

1. The graticule exists as a mathematical abstraction
2. This abstraction gets projected onto physical models (globes, maps)
3. These projections necessarily involve choices and distortions

By recognizing the graticule as the primary construct, we reframe our understanding of both globes and maps as secondary projections, neither having absolute claim to representing “true” reality.

The Globe as Projection

When we construct a globe, we project the graticule onto a spherical surface. This projection involves specific choices:

• We choose a perfect sphere (or sometimes an ellipsoid) as our base
• We assume uniform curvature across the surface
• We represent mathematical coordinates as physical lines
• We select a particular scale relation to the actual Earth

Each of these choices involves simplifications and approximations of physical reality. The Earth is not a perfect sphere or even a perfect ellipsoid—it has irregular topography, dynamic tectonic features, and complex gravitational variations. The globe smooths these complexities into a mathematically elegant but simplified form.

Equal Status with Flat Maps

Flat maps project the graticule onto two-dimensional surfaces, making different sacrifices to preserve different properties:

• Mercator projections preserve angular relationships but distort size
• Equal-area projections maintain relative area but distort shape
• Compromise projections balance multiple distortions

Similarly, the globe projection preserves certain properties (continuous surface, consistent scale) while sacrificing others (actual irregularities of Earth’s shape, practical usability).

When we recognize both globes and flat maps as projections of the same abstract graticule, neither can claim absolute primacy. Each serves different purposes within the constraints of its projection method.

Philosophical Implications

This perspective opens profound philosophical questions about cartographic reality:

1. Mediated Knowledge: Our understanding of Earth’s form is always mediated through mathematical constructs rather than direct experience.
2. Multiple Valid Realities: If both globes and maps are projections, we have multiple valid representations of Earth, each capturing different truths.
3. Arbitrary Foundations: The choice to privilege spherical projections is somewhat arbitrary—a choice based on particular values (continuity, consistency) rather than absolute truth.
4. Representational Humility: We should approach all representations of Earth with humility, recognizing each as a constructed model serving specific human purposes.

Conclusion

The “true” shape of Earth—if such a concept is even meaningful—remains elusive. What we have instead are multiple projections of an abstract mathematical framework, each serving different purposes. The globe, far from being the definitive representation, is simply one projection among many.

By recognizing the globe as a projection of the graticule—equal in status to flat maps as projections of that same construct—we open new avenues for understanding cartographic representation. This perspective encourages a more nuanced, philosophically sophisticated approach to how we conceptualize Earth’s form, inviting us to question assumptions about cartographic authority and to embrace the plurality of valid representational approaches.

Unlike traditional Flat Earth models that depict Antarctica as an ice wall, the stereographic approach portrays it as a normal continent, aligning more closely with mainstream geographical understanding.

This model proposes that the Earth functions as an infinite or looped plane. When travelers pass the South Pole, they reappear on the opposite side, similar to movement in a seamless, looped simulation.

Australia and other southern continents are accurately depicted in size and proportion, resolving distortions common in other Flat Earth maps.

The stereographic model eliminates the need for a physical dome or firmament. Instead, it views the Earth’s boundaries as part of a simulated or idealized reality rather than a tangible barrier.

One of our most groundbreaking features is the multiple observer system. Unlike any other astronomical software available, Firmament Trackers allows you to simultaneously view celestial events from different locations on Earth. This capability transforms how we understand celestial phenomena from different geographical perspectives. Globe Apps such as Stellarium and SkySafari are only able to give you the 1st Person View, the same view that Flat Earth models also do, but because the globe is not real, you can’t zoom out. You can’t model something that doesn’t exist and this why globe models can only have one observer at a time.

What truly sets us apart is our Flat Earth GPS plotting system. While platforms like Google Maps and Bing Maps excel at traditional mapping, they are not allowed to show you the flat AE projection. Our software is the first and only solution that can accurately plot GPS coordinates on the North Polar Azimuthal Equidistant map while maintaining astronomical accuracy. This breakthrough allows researchers to correlate terrestrial locations with celestial phenomena in ways that were previously impossible.

It should also be noted that the globe model is unable to combine astronomical models with geographical models. That is why they have separate models for astronomy and geography such as VSOP87 for Stellarium and WSG84 for Google Earth. Stellarium does not allow you to zoom out and Google Earth let you know about the sky. This is because you cannot model something that does not exist. Whereas when modeling the real life Flat Earth, we do not need to separate astronomy from geography into two separate models like the globe requires. Since the Earth is flat, it’s okay for us to allow you zoom out and show you how it all works. This view is something globe apps such as Stellarium or SkySafari cannot do, they need to hide it from you. The Firmament Trackers Flat Earth App is one model that allows you to do everything. We want to show you what the world really looks like.

Perhaps our most significant breakthrough is our ability to accurately model the 24-hour sun in Antarctica. This has been a longstanding challenge in astronomical modeling, as traditional flat Earth models struggled to explain how the sun could remain visible for a full day during Antarctic summer. Previous models even have refused to even let you go past 60 degrees south latitude. Our software resolves this through sophisticated dome refraction calculations and precise celestial mechanics. Users can now observe and understand how the sun maintains visibility through this period, while still adhering to all other observed astronomical phenomena. This achievement represents a major step forward in comprehensive astronomical modeling.

Whether you’re tracking the sun’s daily path, observing lunar phases, or studying star movements from your location, the Firmament Trackers Flat Earth App helps you understand what you’re seeing with your own eyes.
