Do you remember my ZIGZAG argument? Haven't you heard for my NEW argument against the rotation of the earth? THIS IS THE BEST ARGUMENT OF ALL TIMES AGAINST THE ROTATION OF THE EARTH : " class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
Enjoy it!!!
P.S. Oh, yes, and try to refute it if you can!!!
Well, that was a waste of time to watch. How long did it take you to put that thing together?
I see you're still making the same mistake you were making before. You have the Sun and stars
way too close when making your "zigzag" argument. If the Sun
were about the diameter of the Arctic Circle (roughly 3,000 miles) distant, then we
would see it zig-zagging due to parallax. But it's not nearly that close, so we don't. How about running a similar visualization, but put the Sun 30,000 times further away, where it really is, and see how much "zig-zag" you'd see. I thought we'd already cleared that up. Oh well.
As for the star trails part, can you write out what you were trying to say about the direction of the trails and how it's opposite the way you think they should be? It didn't make any sense when watching - I even skipped back once to hear it again, and I don't want to waste any more time. That's one of the reasons why I don't like videos for this type of thing: unlike text, it's not easy to refer back to (and carefully parse out, if necessary) what's been said earlier to compare with what's said later.
Also, why do your star-trail videos mostly show only the part of the circumpolar sky
below the North Celestial Pole? Above the pole, the stars move from right to left. What does that do to your argument? Is that why you don't show it? I hope the omission was inadvertent; intentionally omitting the footage inconsistent with your conclusions would be dishonest.
Regardless, no, you haven't discovered something that's been overlooked before. The apparent motion of stars, circumpolar and otherwise, is entirely consistent with the Earth rotating from west to east. Sorry.
If you think 93,000,000 miles to the Sun is a long way, it's a mere trifle compared to the distance to even the nearest stars. The 67,000 mi/hr (or whatever) orbital speed and the diameter of the Earth's orbit is tiny to insignificance compared with those distances.
Why do you have some of the planets orbiting the Sun in the opposite direction as others in your visualization of the planets in the solar system? They all orbit in the same direction and rotate in the same direction, too (with the exception of Uranus, which has axial tilt greater than 90°).
Oh, yeah... the Sun is very close to perfectly spherical even though it does rotate, with a flattening of about 9 X 10
-6 (0.000009). By comparison, the Earth's flattening is about 3 X 10
-3 (0.003). For one thing, the Sun rotates
very slowly (once in about 25 days). Even so, its flattening is less than expected, and AFAIK, no one really knows why. Do you know the provenance of the noticeably "squashed" picture of the Sun? Just grabbing some random picture from the Internet without any information about how it was acquired and what was done to it, and trying to analyze it is futile. Also, where did the "up and down" Venus transit video come from? Do you know if it was taken from a satellite? The transit lasted about six hours, and the amount and rate of the shifting seems to be consistent with a low-earth-orbit satellite.
Anyway, welcome back! Sorry to be so slow replying. I was out of town most of last week doing more interesting things than answering posts here.
