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

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

b/c i think you would

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

@jeremy and past it

now ur gettin crazy

and south of it, then you'd return back to where you started

lol
