    The Earth is FIXED in Space

    More evidence that the Earth is fixed in space and that it's the Sun and the heavens which move around a fixed Earth. This time Photographic evidence. How do we explain these images -

    How do you explain seasonal changes in earths climate if the sun rotates around us on the same axis?
    Everyone knows what's in room 101.


    Everything becomes irrelevant, when the sky tears open.

    "Hey Kevin." "What?" "Theres a ditch there." "Sh*t!"

    Sun and the heavens? Oh dear! I'll feel special tonight.
    This sentence contradicts itself - no actually it doesn't.

    Kevinthediltz,

    Interesting question. Really. The seasonal changes are caused by the spiral revolutions of the Sun as it circumnavigates the Earth each day. Each orbit being different. Completing one complete cycle of revolutions each year.

    Equinoxes, solstices, and tropics are the result of the north-south motion of the sun, starting with the vernal or spring equinox on March 21, the official beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere.

    On that day, the sun lies on the celestial equator. The word equinox refers to the fact that, on this day, the night is equal to the day: each is twelve hours long. The sun is directly above the equator, so its rays fall vertically down.

    Through the months of March, April, and May, the sun moves north. On June 22nd, it reaches its most northerly point, that is, 23 1/2° above the equator. In the northern hemisphere that day is called the summer solstice. It is the longest day of the year and the official beginning of summer. The sun lies on the circle of the earth called the Tropic of Cancer.

    On September 23, the sun, moving south, reaches the equator again. The day is again 12 hours long. That day is called the autumnal equinox and is the official beginning of autumn.

    On December 22, the sun reaches its most southerly point. That day is of course called the winter solstice and is the official beginning of winter. The sun shines up from beneath the equator. At noon the sun is straight overhead at points on the earth's Tropic of Capricorn, located 23 1/2° south of the equator. At that time, it is the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere. The cycle again repeats itself and gives us our 4 seasons and the solar year.

    The winter solstice occurs on June 22 in the southern hemisphere. 3 days later it is June 25 or "Christmas" day in the southern hemisphere. So that the cycle begins again with the New Year starting there, in the extreme southern hemisphere.

    Regards

    My feeling is that you can more or less dismiss any argument that resorts to ironic quotation marks - such as...

    These, we are told by 'scientists', are 'facts'

    or

    Many 'experts' make money selling this 'truth'.

    That, I find, is a 'pretty infallible indicator' of 'crap'

    don't you love these April Fool's threads?? Except, the more you guys respond with serious discussions, the bigger the laugh the thread starter will have tomorrow

    PS - thread starter, is it true that the Internet will be closed for spring cleaning tomorrow too??

    Well, here we are at April 2. Still laughing ?

    What exactly is the evidence that the Earth revolves around the Sun ? Since the facts, the actual, observable facts, suggest the opposite is true. Don't they ? If, however, you find some evidence in support of what you read in textbooks please post it here and we can examine it. That would be a fair discussion. In the meantime we have the following -

    ''Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the Earth? - declare, if thou hast understanding''. (Job 38.4)

    My feeling is you can more or less dismiss any argument which consists in ignoring the subject itself ! And yes, most of what we are taught these days is sheer nonsense. And always has been. The proof of this is our ability or inability to have a conversation about evidence that contradicts our attitudes and assumptions. In such a case the words of Simon and Garfunkel come to mind -

    'Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest'

    Why not ask a science teacher or someone who has studied this subject what he thinks ? Wouldn't that be a fair way to start ? So that you can judge the case having heard both sides ?

    My friend who designs low-orbit satellites thinks you might be wrong. Then again, he's probably in on the deception, because that's how he makes his living.

    Still - if I were to suggest that the world was run by small yellow pixies who were born from buttercups and whose only mission was to rob us all of our pubic hair in order to weave lassoos to catch moonbeams, and if I were roundly ignored as a lunatic, I too would protest that it wasn't fair and everyone should look at my side of the argument, particularly as I happen to be able to line up a professional gnome hunter who knows this pubic pixie thing inside out and is prepared to swear on a copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion that I speak nothing but the truth.

    However, most people would not be drawn in by that spurious appeal to balance and fair play, because life is too short to indulge the self-evidently daft.

    However, I do believe every word that David Icke says, because he's written books and everything.

    Ah, yes, Mark Bastable's is a real answer to the subject of this thread - 'The Earth is Fixed in Space'. Isn't it ?

    Let's discuss that subject. What subject ? 'The Earth is Fixed in Space'. Or, if you prefer, we can always discuss, 'The Earth is Fixed in Space'. Again, if this threatens you and the profession of your friend, you may try the more interesting subject of, 'The Earth is Fixed in Space'. Who knows, maybe you can even move on to discuss, 'The Earth is Fixed in Space' ? But let's not hold our breath waiting for your post. That's would be real, serious discussion, wouldn't it ? Academic dogma notwithstanding, that is ? A discussion where the evidence, the known facts, are aired and discussed, that is ? And what does your friend (who specialises in low orbit satellites) have to say about 'The Earth is Fixed in Space' ? Shall we be surprised it may be more than you ?



    Thanks

    Great ! We all believe you because you are now having a real, serious discussion on the evidence. Aren't you ? As everyone can see. Can't they ? LOL !!

    I personally think Mark's answer is damn good one, and entirely appropriate to this ridiculous thread.
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
