    Whats a Firmament cleaner?

    As per the title,

    I'm in a dispute with a person whose beliefs are not so scientifically sound and I've been presented with an instruction along he lines of

    "what do you mean you dont know what a firmament cleaner is? you can go find out and then you can make your own corrections to your line of thought because the information I am trying to present to you came to me first hand from a firmament cleaner and not an internet source"

    Now I've done my due dilligence and tried a page one of google and Ive found a company that sells cleaning products and a company that provides either a car wrap or car wrap service but nothing that provides anything rational that provides any inkling of the position of a Firmament cleaner or why such a person should have any bearing or position of authority on the maths invovled in Over the horizon/ballistic/orbital maths.

    What am I missing here, I'm kind of exhuasted and looking for a very simple, page one google, spoon feed me the answer type answer as nothing I'm finding has anything to do with anything that fits into the world of math or science.

    Does the meaning of firmanent combined with over the horizon radar etc start to make sense?

    They're delusional, there is no such thing. Perhaps the closest thing would be a "rain-maker" as I suppose the rain cleanses the sky, but even the existence of such a person is highly debatable. A rainmaker is synonymous with shaman, sorcerer, witch doctor, medicine man.

    According to Perplexity AI....

    The phrase "firmament cleaner" occasionally appears in online jokes or memes, sometimes referencing satire or conspiracy theories

    You'll never see Firmament Cleaners actually working, as they only work at night. OH&S requires them to wait until the Sun has entered its recharging dock, which is located in the Ice Wall.

    Best I can find that may have something to do with over the horizon thinking, that requires a cleaner to get all the fermament out of the way so you can see the planet! It would seem people have latched onto some bible text about God splitting the fermament, taken it to mean we either have an ocean on the ground and an ocean above the atmosphere, or that a firmament is something that separates heaven and its host from earth???

    The map is northern hemisphere centric. If you took the north pole as centre of a map then Antarctica would be a ring around the edge. US and Russia will shoot at each other over the north pole. This sort of map view is something you might consider in a nerdy strategy game where all continents are present. Most continents in reality have direct access to the Antarctica. To facilitate this connectivity Antarctica on the map is way out of proportion to other land masses so that it can make the distances. Their map doesn't look particularly complete.
