Flat Earth Theory / Wouldn't the Sun's path on the Flat Earth be Elliptical?
« on: December 21, 2016, 06:14:34 PM »
A problem often cited by those with the contemporary world view, is that the Sun couldn't possibly exist as it appears transposed over a the AEP, and I agree. The Sun would have to speed up during the time it follows the Tropic of Capricorn to rotate the earth as it does on the Tropic of Cancer.
Is it possible the path of the sun could be elliptical? We already believe Earth to be on an elliptical orbit, wouldn't it be more natural of a movement for it to behave in the manner of a pendulum, whos path becomes increasingly elliptical at points. Has anyone ever seen the way a ceiling fan rocks when it's not very secure? It certainly follows the law of conservation of momentum, which would be amazing if we could apply our known physical laws the rest of the universe. Either way a perfectly circular path seems unrealistic.
Could it be a means to explain the phenomenon of the anallema?
Just posing the question, sorry if it has been discussed before.
