I like "globers", I think I will start calling REs that!
so they called it a planet,wowowow they just added a T on the end PLANE
OMG I never even thought of that. You are a genius.
This is actually sort of true. From etymonline.com (an etymology website):
planet (n.)
late Old English planete, from Old French planete (Modern French plančte), from Late Latin planeta, from Greek planetes, from (asteres) planetai "wandering (stars)," from planasthai "to wander," of unknown origin, possibly from PIE *pele- (2) "flat, to spread" on notion of "spread out." So called because they have apparent motion, unlike the "fixed" stars. Originally including also the moon and sun; modern scientific sense of "world that orbits a star" is from 1630s.
So yes, it is quite possible that "planet" and "plane" have a similar word origin. Not that this proves anything...
please please please,stop trusting books and look at it,the eye dont lie
The sun sets
below the horizon. The eye dont lie!
The sun and moon stay relatively the same size throughout the day. The eye dont lie!
The stars in the south rotate around a point in the south. The eye dont lie!
The sun rises and sets directly east-west on the equinox. The eye dont lie!
What? Rowbotham gave a vague explanation* for all of these in his
book? Stop trusting books! The eye dont lie!
* Actually only some of these. And the explanations he did give were absolutely rubbish.
