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

2019-12-12 23:47:46 UTC  

doing two things at once

2019-12-12 23:47:48 UTC  

yes

2019-12-12 23:47:50 UTC  

your fist

2019-12-12 23:48:23 UTC  

thank you triscuit

2019-12-12 23:49:06 UTC  

@Amthyric exept the moon isn't on a string and is moving independent and going around supposedly so no you wouldn't see it the same side every night you would see the back the front the side and every which way as it made it's orbit. Your brain says tidal lock cause it is a phenomena that doesn't exist in nature but breaks all the rules to tilde look your brain into thinking that it doesn't follow the rules.

2019-12-12 23:49:20 UTC  

that isn't what you asked

2019-12-12 23:49:28 UTC  

you asked for an example of tidal locking
