Flat Earth Theory / Re: How does Earth get between the Moon & Sun in FET?
« on: November 18, 2018, 07:37:17 AM »There's another huge problem with FET according to the FAQ section in the Wiki. The sun changes it's orbital diameter in the different seasons. You can see that on the nice diagram. When you go from a smaller diameter circle to a larger diameter circle you have to speed up the sun in order to keep the same orbital time (length of day). This would require some kind of a retro-rocket. The opposite would be true when going from a larger diameter orbit to a smaller one. The retro-rocket would have to fire in the opposite direction to slow the sun down. I'm assuming that the sun has some mass. However I haven't been able to find a figure for the mass of the sun under the FET model. Since the sun has to have some mass it would take a specific amount of time to change the orbital diameter. More thrust means a shorter time to change orbits. All of this would have to be accounted for in any kind of diagram showing the timing of an eclipse. Additionally since the sun has some kind of mass it would require a force to keep it in an orbital path. Could this be some kind of gravitational attraction between the sun and another body? Maybe the shadow body is somehow involved. Again I am going on very little information and having to make some educated guesses. It sure would help to have some kind of reading on the speculated mass of the sun under this FET model so some accurate predictions could be arrived at for an eclipse.
Does the needle of a record player change its rotational rate when it travels towards the center?
Yes.
The record is not rotating, like flat earth. The needle, like the flat earth sun, needs to travel around the record. Here it is explained using the example of a stationary record with a traveling needle:
"But, when the record is stationary and you are using a cute little device to run around the grooves, the device would have to “know” whether it is an outer groove (where the correct linear speed is about 20 inches per second) or an inner groove (where the correct linear speed is about 9 inches per second) and adjust its travel speed accordingly in order to play at the proper pitch. This would be quite a difficult engineering project; it’s far more likely that the device runs at a constant speed (perhaps with a manual adjustment) in the hopes that it doesn’t sound too bad over the course of a single track."
