Title: So what, is the Sun a giant bulb?
Post by: Zvezdichko on November 19, 2006, 11:08:24 AM
Q: "What about the stars, sun and moon and other planets? Are they flat too? What are they made of?"

A: The sun and moon, each 32 miles in diameter, circle Earth at a height of 3000 miles at its equator, located midway between the North Pole and the ice wall. Each functions as a "spotlight," with the sun radiating "hot light," the moon "cold light." As they are spotlights, they only give light out over a certain are which explains why some parts of the Earth are dark when others are light. Their apparent rising and setting are caused by optical illusions.


I can agree with that, but I can't get to a good explaination how the moon phases work.


Q: "What about gravity?"

A1: The Earth is accelerating upwards at 1g (9.8m/s-2) along with every star, sun and moon in the universe. This produces the same effect as gravity.

I would say that gravity makes your shit pop out in the loo. I don't know in this answer how accelerating works as you reject science rockets that orbit the earth... ask Isaac Newton how!

Q: "Doesn't this mean we'd be travelling faster than the speed of light, which is impossible?"

Shouldn't this make me laugh? The general theory of relativity uses measurments and axiomas related to a round world.

Um...sure.

The acceleration has nothing to do with 'science rockets'.  The accelerating earth obeys Newton's three laws of motion, which are the basis for how it works in our reference frame.

Should it make you laugh?  I guess, if relativity is funny to you.

And why is he funny? Because he doesn't accept the FEs theory?
