itsame u can see it done on google earth or u can watch astrals video where the guy makes his own earth and sun and does it there
It is easy for me to visualize, I don't get what is so hard
link him ur video astral
east is based on your local point where you stand, and parallel to your line of longitude
of sly sparkane
itsame watch the video i linked i think east takes u to the equator
he already doesnt think u end up at the equator so dont watch astrals his is what i am opposing
I wish I could post pictures here
@jeremy yes if you travelled at an initial heading of east, you'd eventually cross teh equator, that would effectively put you in the same path as an orbit with the inclination of your latitude
ok
boom
perfect
try telling these guys
but that's if you're stuck to the surface
light rays are not stuck to the surface they come from the sun
No, you wouldn't cross the equator, not dead reckoning east.
@AstralSentient well wait lemme think
if you set your initial heading as east, and never adjusted it again, didn't look at a compass
your magnetic heading wouldnt' stay east
this is not cut and dry as some people thing
think
Dead reckoning would be directionally east, not based on compass.
at the start?
or throughout the journey
u are in new york u go east at the sunrise on the equinox
I'm talking throughout, staying on an east path, relative to your starting position
well you'd need a compass to do that
which i guess is dead reckoning still
Mark it on a map or globe
but imagine you start on a heading of 90 and never 'turn' left nor right
eventaully your magnetic heading will change
you wuoldn't follow a line of latitude in that case
yeah i know
u end up at the equator
now ur gettin crazy
and south of it, then you'd return back to where you started
