Flat Earth Theory / Re: The Death of Heliocentricity
« on: January 21, 2018, 09:53:28 PM »Please, NASA or JPL or any of the other sites have already spent money providing CGI renderings of the Solar System. The fact their renderings are not accurate or based on Newton/Kepler/Einstein, et.al., is damning evidence that either the math is wrong or the model is wrong.What do you base this assumption on?
Also, I'd be interested in how the flat earth theory allows for 24 hour days, yet whichever latitude it's summer in gets more daylight hours. Especially in the December-February, which is summer down here (Australia). Let's assume that the sun moves farther outward from the centre of the disc to give us more warmth in that time. However, it's now got a greater distance to travel in the same 24 hours. Say, it's doing 60,000 km instead of the 40,000 km at the equator. So that's 1.5 times the distance, which means it's travelling 1.5 times as fast to make the distance in the same time.
So far, so good, yeah?
Except that the problem is that just like in Europe and North America, summer in the Southern Hemisphere is typified by longer days. Which means that the sun can't be travelling faster over any spot on the world. If anything, days would be much shorter. 1.5 times as short, to be exact. We'd be getting 8 hours of sunlight instead of 16.
I cordially invite anyone to come to Australia in the summer. I'll even put you up in my spare bedroom (it's air-conditioned). You can measure the hours of daylight, and then explain to me that if the sun is passing by faster, how are the days lasting longer.
I look forward to the explanation. It should be a good one.
