@republicus Are you actually a geocentrist truther? That's more unique than I usually see here

is it possible to be both flat earth and heliocentric?

seems the two are diametrically opposed.

@republicus what about Polaris bothers you?

no bother at all. it confirms my understanding. Im happy to be in that position 😃

@republicus what I mean is, what is it that makes you say polaris supports a geocentric model?

Every day a penguin falls off the edge, but you can help stop it. For only 25 cent's a month you can save a penguin and get your own complementary hat and badge.

Some good old self deprecating.

extend your hand and point at an object in the room. move you finger left or right an inch. how far did that object have to travel to catch your finger? a few feet? do the same thing with the Moon now. An inch translates to dozens of thousands of miles to it. This compounds the further it is away. Point to Polaris and move your finger an inch... It is supposedly 433 light-years away. How far does it have to travel to meet your finger? That's only an inch... Now take the Earth and tilt it several times a year every year. Either you believe Polaris is keeping perfect perpendicular synchronicity with Earths pole as it tilts (over thousands of light years of travel) or.... its not moving at all --- just as we observe.

Polaris is moving slightly over time though

Are you saying that it can't possibly stay in position because the earth changes tilt?

over thousands of years its exactly where all of our ancestors expected it to be every day and night. special instruments and calculations are the only thing supporting that it is moving at all. it certainly is not moving as it would have to to be 433 light years away and remain due north for all known history

All known history is a very, _very_ short time celestially

Folly

its not only the tilt, its the orbit and all movement. the other stars don't remain in one single place so they are much easier explained in alternative ways - but Polaris remains

6 months time is a WILD amount of distance and time in orbit and tilt

I'm sorry I might just be stupid but I'm not understanding what you're saying? The fact that Polaris is so many light years away is exactly why the relatively minor variations in position due to our orbit does not matter. And the shifting of our axial tilt is over a span of much further than our recorded history

@Muncher yes?

okay here is another one

Is your name anthony

@Muncher no

@Fading ok nvm

lets say the time is 12:00 noon. Lets factor away daylight savings time or leap year etc

@Muncher no worries lol. I'm new and I don't know anyone here

oh lol

every day has 24 hours in it, right?

I hope you make friends @Fading

@Muncher Haha thank you, no worries I already made a few last night

Oh y’all are lame lame

Just try not to get that

Jk lol

@republicus solar days are a bit longer than 24 iirc but for timekeeping yes

@Fading Haha, hope you die

What time of day is it from 12:00 noon in 182 days?

@Muncher Aww why?

Idk, felt like it.
