Yes, that is attributed to the alleged rotation of the Earth. And on what scientific basis is the rotation of the Earth based ? Care to tell us ? If the Earth is rotating so too is its atmosphere. Is that true or not ?

I should point out that the stars are millions of miles away, and that earth revolves quite quickly as opposed to their orbits/revolutions, which would result in the time lapse pictures posted on the website and tail effects.
I am sure, that since you are yourself a scientist, you could construct the following experiment to prove that the star's tail effects are the result of a rotating earth and not a revolving universe...
Turn on a small light on the ceiling of a dark room.
Set up a lapse time camera underneath said light on a slowly rotating wheel (one that has one rotation every 24 hours).
see if the pictures you develop have the "tail effect" described as evidence that OBVIOUSLY!! the stars are circling the earth.
I think that they will. Which would disprove the only proof the website creator had at his disposal.
I am now retreating from the discussion altogether, because after all, it is nonsense, and I have other more important things to do... like wash my hair...

What's that got to do with it?
It's called the Coriolis effect, that's why things that fall into the atmosphere appear to follow curved paths. Also, if the Earth wasn't rotating there would be no Coriolis forces, and if there were no Coriolis forces we wouldn't get tornadoes. Since, tornadoes exist, I hope we can agree on this, there must be Coriolis forces on Earth, thus the Earth is rotating.

That is the subject. Because they are part of it.
The only reason why you do not want to discuss this is because they can only be explained by heliocentrism. And that is the poblem.
They were the reason that geocentrism was doubted in the first place.
Clearly you do not know at all what you are talking about.
But one more try, can you explain them by geocentrism?

My second and last reply to this thread because frankly I don't want to be involved in what I believe is complete nonsense.
You are christian. Or some form of religion that follows the bible. That is obvious.
The bible cannot be taken as science. Period. To prove my simple point I give you this link. This is the former director of the Vatican Observatory.

Oh and take a gander at the pictures in the background as well.

Indeed he does.
Apparent gravity is weaker nearer the equator because the Earth's rotation produces an apparent centrifugal force. As rotational speed decreases as one moves towards the poles, local gravity, g, increases from 9.789 m·s2 at the equator to 9.832 m·s2 at the poles

Because even the closest star to earth which isn't the sun was 40,105,894,946,675,644.8 times further from the camera than the surface of the earth - assuming a distance from the ground of 1 metre.
The further an object is from the camera, the slower it appears to move against things closer to the camera, and when one factors in a distance ratio of over 40 qudrillion, time-lapse images can appear to distort reality.
Just curious. If comets orbit the sun, how does that fit with the FIXED earth?
Forgive my presumption, but I am assuming FIXED isn't an acronym?
It's not?

Katy North is 'now retreating from the discussion altogether'. 'Elvis has left the building', or what ??? LOL. You guys are really amazing !
This is hilarious !! Katy North, you and people like you have had centuries of literally dominating textbooks with your dogmas about the Earth and Sun relationship. Please provide us (instead of vice-versa) with evidence to support your dogmas. Instead of running away. Like, real evidence. Do you have any ?
Or have you already 'retreated' from the discussion ???
Let's hope you have more evidence of washing your hair than your contribution to this discussion.
LOL ! And where have all the 'experts' gone when you need them most ? LOLOLOLOL !!!!

It has a lot to do with it. Since ALL the biblical references tell us the Sun is moving and not the Earth. Not a single time. It is the sun which rises and the sun which sets. It is the sun which is said to be moving and not the Earth. It was the Sun which stood still in the days of Joshua, and not the Earth. And so it goes on with dozens and dozens of similar statements. And your answer to the evidence so far presented is...... you know somebody who makes low altitude satellites ? Great. I know somebody who makes tuna sandwiches !
The significance has clearly escaped you. The Earth stands fixed in space and the Sun orbits around it. As do the planets and stars. At least, if you can understand plain English.
I note you have still not answered my various, previous posts. But hey, what's new in 400 years of dogma ? In your case you believe what you believe because you believe what you believe. And damn the facts themselves.
'Professing themselves to be wise they became fools' or what ?
Take me to your leader !!! We surrender to your dogmas. LOL.
lol
Next we will be hearing the earth is flat!

You have still not got us any proof of that apart from Bible verses of thousands and thousands of years old.
What did people know then?
It is sad

No Janine,
May I relieve you of that aspect of your fertile and unfounded imagination ? Try this, for example, which the pagan world found hard to accept. Just as the pagans of today find it difficult to accept the findings of modern science. In the Old Testament we read of -
"the circle of the earth" - lit. the ('sphere' of the Earth)
(Isaiah 40.22)
Isaiah lived around 500 years BC. The bible is not going to change any time soon. Which is exactly what we have in fact, isn't it ?

You clearly have no idea, Kiki. Sorry!
This sentence contradicts itself - no actually it doesn't.
So, if I can find a book that says the opposite, are we even?
