How can a sphere look the same from all angles

2019-12-12 23:35:03 UTC  

Even on a flat earth

2019-12-12 23:36:05 UTC  

If the moon actually was spinning on it's own orbit you would see a different slivers of it's whole surface every night for 27 nights until it returned it's face to you.

2019-12-12 23:36:33 UTC  

Not if the moon was spinning in sync with the earth

2019-12-12 23:37:16 UTC  

No such thing as spinning in synch with us if we are going 1k and it at a much slower speed then that is an impossibility sir.

2019-12-12 23:38:00 UTC  

We are spinning fast and it takes them 27 days to reach a whole rotation so that is just not possible ever

2019-12-12 23:38:18 UTC  

If you hold out your hand and spin in a circle, you aren’t going to be able to be the other side of your hand, no matter how many times or how fast you spin

2019-12-12 23:38:25 UTC  

You’ll have to turn your hand over for that

2019-12-12 23:39:32 UTC  

But you left out the fact that the hand would have to be independent and spinning slow and in it's own orbit so that is just a bad thought process you need to correct within your self or use a better example to explain your point sir

2019-12-12 23:39:43 UTC  

Okay

2019-12-12 23:39:44 UTC  

So

2019-12-12 23:40:12 UTC  

The moon completes 1 full spin and 1 full revolution around the earth in the same amount of time

2019-12-12 23:40:29 UTC  

So relative to the earth, the same side always faces us

2019-12-12 23:40:38 UTC  

um no

2019-12-12 23:41:30 UTC  

we complete a full rotation in 24 hours and it takes the moon 27 days to complete the same rotation so you would see a different part every night as it made it's way around us spinning

2019-12-12 23:42:07 UTC  

Why would you see a different part?

2019-12-12 23:42:19 UTC  

why wouldn't we

2019-12-12 23:42:27 UTC  

it is spinning and we spin faster

2019-12-12 23:42:35 UTC  

opposite each other

2019-12-12 23:42:54 UTC  

Because no matter how fast we spin, the moon isn’t going to look different

2019-12-12 23:43:18 UTC  

That would be like trying to see the back of a building by spinning in circles really fast

2019-12-12 23:44:25 UTC  

No you just don't have a good imagination I suppose

2019-12-12 23:45:11 UTC  

The same side always faces the earth

2019-12-12 23:45:21 UTC  

As it revolves around it

2019-12-12 23:45:41 UTC  

No it doesn't. Moving on. My point is how does the moon spinning tell you you live on a spinning water ball?

2019-12-12 23:45:54 UTC  

@Sassy Undeniably do you know what tidally locked means?

2019-12-12 23:46:00 UTC  

Because the moon cannot appears the way it does on a flat earth

2019-12-12 23:46:26 UTC  

On a flat earth, you would see different sides of the moon based on where you are

2019-12-12 23:46:26 UTC  

dur dur dur @Amthyric can you show me one natural example of this here on the plain?

2019-12-12 23:46:34 UTC  

yep

2019-12-12 23:46:40 UTC  

get a string and a ball

2019-12-12 23:46:54 UTC  

attach the ball to the string

2019-12-12 23:46:58 UTC  

so the same can be said of a globe then @Triscuit

2019-12-12 23:47:04 UTC  

No..

2019-12-12 23:47:08 UTC  

paint the side with the string red

2019-12-12 23:47:16 UTC  

spin the ball around your fist

2019-12-12 23:47:23 UTC  

the red side will always face you

2019-12-12 23:47:33 UTC  

Will always face your fist*

2019-12-12 23:47:41 UTC  

But yes

2019-12-12 23:47:42 UTC  

sorry
