Note to cassini: you do not need to type or paste a WALL OF TEXT to answer a simple question.So, now we have, from your very verbose response, that you do not believe the earth is rotating, and that you believe the sun is, in fact, rotating about the earth, along with all the rest of the "universe" in the ether.Therefore, you have proved my point:You accept the heliocentric distance to the sun of 93 million miles.Therefore, according to YOU, the sun is traversing a 584 million mile long circular path around the earth EVERY 24-hours.THAT is more absurd than a flat earth plane with the Firmament above, enclosing the earth from the waters of the great deep, with the sun and moon and stars circling above, could ever be.
Again: draw a physical model of the south celestial pole and its relation to the North Pole AND explain our ability to circuмnavigate the world in relation to the south celestial pole.You COULD posit our land mass is within a dome that exceeds its diameter, and that the star fields spin on a central axis that becomes altered by perspective, but then you destroy circuмnavigation. You could posit a disc earth with continents radiating from the center, but you displace the South Pole. The only physical workable model is the sphere.
Cassini - here is one your earth pics you posted from NASA. We'll be charitable and assume it is real...*cough*I use this one because it illustrates one of the things that brought me to flat earth.Can you see what it is?If you look at the curvature in this photo of only the Great Lakes, you will quickly notice that if you extend that curve the full 360 degrees, it will not nearly be large enough to encompass the earth.Game over. Earth is flat.http://www.fropky.com/jaw-dropping-images-our-planet-nasa-vt59792-20.html
Fisheye?
Fisheyes make straight lines curved.So, you're saying the horizon line in the photo is actually straight, in reality.Which it actually is, of course - that's why it is called a horizon, because it IS horizontal.
If you take the figure that Sungenis, Fr. P. and cassini accept for the distance to the sun, of 93 million miles, then one can calculate the distance the sun must travel going around the earth in a single 24 hour day.If earth is center, and the radius of this circuit (R) is the distance of 93 million miles, we can calculate the circuмference (C).The equation is C = 2 x pi x RC = 2 x 3.14 x 93 million milesC = 584 million miles584 million miles per day/ 24 hours in a day = 24.3 million MPH (speed of the sun)Does ANYONE here really believe the sun is moving at an eye-watering speed of 24.3 million MPH around the earth every day?
A fisheye effect working against a curve would have the effect of leveling the curve. Look at the panning sections, clarity visible distortion is taking place.
mw2016Actually, the speed you refer to here is child's play for one who truly understands astrophysics and hence how it is possible astrophysics wise for the entire universe to go around the Earth every 24 hours.For all of you non-science types out there let's skip the science for a second and just perform a rather simple thought experiment. I don't imagine that anyone familiar with a basketball would try to argue that it is impossible for it to make one complete rotation within, well let's say 24 hours. Obviously we know it could do that in 24 seconds and even a good deal less than 24 seconds. After all, seeing is believing right? Well, let's imagine now that you were of the smallest theoretical -- according to science (OK, sorry I had to mention it) -- size, i.e., Planck Length. If we assign a size of 10 to the power of 0 for a full grown human, the Planck Length would be 10 to the power of negative 35 and the size of the known universe would be 10 to the power of 27. Earth would be 10 to the power of 7.You can play around with these sizes and a whole lot more using the model shown here: http://htwins.net/scale2/In my thought experiment we have two little fellows reduced to the size of Planck Length or perhaps the size of a proton or neutron at the size of ten to the negative 15 or a neutrino at 10 to the negative 24, or smaller yet a quark at 10 to the negative 22 and they are placed inside a twirling basketball or shall we say at the very center of our Earth (which is ten to the power 7). Since they are so small they can only observe the outer limits of the basketball or the Earth and thus they believe it to be the outer limits of the known universe. Now, let's listen in on their discussion. One is arguing vehemently that it is absolutely absurd to even imagine that the universe they observe could be rotating around them every 24 hours while the other one calmly retorts that it is perfectly possible. God looks down upon our tiny beings and certainly hears our back and forth discussions on geocentrism vs. heliocentrism. Since God is eternally omnipotent He could certainly create a universe that goes around the Earth once every 24 hours. If he wanted to He could have the universe going around the Earth a million or a billion times every 24 hours for that matter. No problem!
That newspaper article if from 1922! So is there an update yet?
Getting modern science to update truth regarding God's earth is like getting the Freemasons to expound on the veracity of the Catholic Church. You can hope, but it'll be in vain.
I'm not expecting "modern science" to give an update. Somebody must know what happened with the experiment! It's been 90 years! Somebody must be keeping records. Wouldn't the flat-earthers grab and hold such a lifeline?
