Thinking in a 3d way the orientation of the Moon (for its tilt) is locked to the earth yet the obliquity moves independent to the earths obliquity. The orientation in the Helio model is locked between moon and earth yet the Helio model is required to separate the vertical movement to accommodate the observable wobble chuck that Helio model theory out shall i mention Tycho and its size and that it is clearly viewable?

Solasta Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 2 hours ago, zArk said: all measurements and experiments show the earth is flat No experiments or measurements show the earth to be a sphere That is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever read. Every single infinitessimal measurement both on Earth and in space, of its motion and its distances to other planets and stars is beyond any doubt proof of a planet. Take for instance the distance to the Moon. You keep pretending not to see this: amateur radio clubs all around the planet routinely bounce radio waves off the surface of the Moon and log returns showing its distance.

There is not any circumstance where an object above the eyeline moving on a flat surface can drop below the eyeline. It is a linear impossibility. How can you not see this? It is so blindingly obvious. Just do an experiment with any object in your house. Move it away, it always stays above eye level. It never just suddeny disappears at the same size as when it is directly above you. All yiou are doing is evading terminal flaws in your claims by telling me they are elsewhere. I saw one video of this mystical zone where the Sun goes but it contradicts reality and nobody can fail to understand this. 2 hours ago, zArk said: lol, thanks for that however my opinion is weighted by experiments and measurements.

Guest Gone Fishing... Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 SATELLITES. Years ago when I had a family member living with me I subscribed to Sky TV for them. (If you're gonna have TV then be selective and increase your choices for good content) Anyway.. After a big storm we had no signal. When I checked out the dish on the wall of the house in the back garden I saw that it had been moved by the strong winds. After climbing up, loosening the fittings and randomly moving it while someone tried the TV we got the dish pointing in the correct direction and the signal returned. The TV had all its channels again. The dish was pointing UP into the sky. (hence the company name I'd guess) So... the signal was coming from something up in the sky and not something on the ground. I therefore have a sneaky suspicion that there are indeed Satellites. BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire cosmology and astronomy community agree that we live on a planet. They know it from their work and their observations and every single piece of data - not least from telescopes in orbit with all the thousands of other satellites. 2 hours ago, zArk said: the vast majority opinion is based upon the earth being a sphere, it is not. There is no curve. assumption and presumption is the grounding for the vast majority opinion Incorrect. None of the people in either of those two communities assume anything. Ten minutes with a powerful telescope and it becomes obvious, we live on a spinning planet. You seem to be suggesting that the extremely well educated people in the cosmology community are all gullible fools who can't see the incorrect things you see? Perhaps you should attempt to get some perspective on how likely that is. See video I posted just above. 2 hours ago, zArk said: the moon image wobbles, it is not rotating. you and no-one else has ever seen it rotate. the moons wobble Why does it wobble? It isn't an image it is a spherical Moon being tugged about by gravity. I see it rotate every second it is visible. It is tidally locked from gravity as are the visible Moons of Jupiter seen as the visible planet of Jupiter rotates. 2 hours ago, zArk said: shall i mention Tycho and its size and that it is clearly viewable? Yes, please do. Explain why it shouldn't be viewable and why its size is significant. And for crying out loud, for once, explain how radio enthusiasts bounce radio waves off of the surface.

Solasta Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 1 hour ago, alexa said: Like your CGI pics of earth from space. I suspect you are very young or not old enough to understand that the digital age does not extend back to 1969. Those images are from transparencies taken by a non digital camera. They show the exact view of the Earth at every single point that corresponds to the position in space they should be. I strongly suspect that you know they are real images and are simply afraid to admit that your view of the Earth is completely wrong. God and the belief of everything around it does not require a silly dome or a flat plane. A beautiful planet glowing in space is far more wondrous.

Solasta Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 13 minutes ago, Morpheus said: And your point makes no sense. Sure it does. Let me explain it to you in ever simpler terms if that is possible. I originally pointed out by way of attempting humour that the bible was put together by people who weren't advanced enough to experience a flushing toilet. So let's make this more succinct. They were religious zealots, they had no scientific understanding, not withstanding that the science at that time and region wasn't up to much. They had no idea about the shape of the Earth because they had no understanding of anything needed. Now after we have dismantled this very daft strawman, the Bible says nothing about a dome. Further, using this book of nonsense as a means to determine the shape of the planet is like using a cornflake packet to make a jigsaw puzzle.

Sorry, that's just transational baloney. I can't believe people are quoting a work of fiction written by men who had no understanding of science at all, suggesting that somehow God, being the kind male fellow he is, dictated his actions to some poor sap with a pen. Then thousands of years down the road people look at the 'firmament' and it becomes a plastic see-thru dome. There isn't a hand or forehead big enough.

Again and Again I have to point this out When will it sink home ? So let me understand your belief system. God, in his infinite wisdom dictated his activities to some bloke who wrote it all down and then it became your mantra? You still ignore the quotes from the bible showing it to be a work of pure meandering nonsense. And what is this quote? God, good bloke that he is, has placed a see through plastic or something-never-defined dome between waters, when actually the atmosphere is on one side and the vacuum of space the other. Neither are water. Or maybe I missed the proper meaning here! God divided the atmosphere from space, or are you actually suggesting that space is water?
