Question Been thinking about this a bit,How is it that if one throws a ball it goes straight,but if the earth is rotating underneath a ball that is thrown,shouldn't the ball drift to the west? I mean it's not next to the moving earth,it's in the air which is not as dense at the ground,so shouldn't it's trajectory appear to change in relation to us?

gravity works on the ball too....

if you throw the ball across the car what happens?

people used to believe in a flat Earth but with airplanes that has pretty much been disproven because pilots have to calculate for the curvature of the Earth in their flight plans or end up somewhere they didn't plan to go.

UMM I think i need to rephrase the question. Throw a ball straight up into the air and you have enough energy to overcome gravity for a short time,in that time frame shouldn't the ball drift on it's way to the top,and at the top of throw before gravity overcomes the inertia of the ball? I'm just curious as I have never thought about this before. It just seems like it's anomaly.

I don't believe in a flat earth.

the ball is too small to really be affected and doesn't travel far enough or high enough to make a difference. you would have to get it as high as the clouds and allow it to travel longer for you to see the effects upon a ball, but if you launch a missile you would have to calculate this factor in.

but the spinning of the Earth is supported by the concept of the Corilios Effect and shown in the formation of hurricanes and the movement of global air currents.

So how does it work on airplanes? Airplanes will fly above the clouds,with enough force to counteract the gravity otherwise the plane would crash. So shouldn't the airplane on an east to west trip be shorter time wise then the west to east trip? And shouldn't the plane also have to overcome the rotation speed of the earth and then fly that much faster on a west to east trip,otherwise shouldn't the plane to our eyes appear to be flying backwards? (Don't know it just appears to be an anomaly)

Though it is a common misconception that up to the 14th century people believed it to be flat. Even the ancient greeks likely new the earth not to be flat. Varying shadows make no sense if we had a flat enviroment.

I found this answer online (taking the lazy way by not typing it myself, lol)

The reason an airplane can't just idle and let the ground pass underneath is the same reason as why a ball dropped from a tall tower lands at the base of the tower and not next to it. A plane sitting on the ground is moving with the surface of the Earth, and while it appears to us to be at rest, it is actually moving at around 1,000 miles an hour (the exact value depends on your latitude). When it takes off, it still has speed from sitting on the ground. In order to fly east, the plane increases its speed relative to the surface of the Earth and begins to overtake it. Flying west it decreases its speed relative to the surface of the Earth, and the Earth slips by.
Here's a thought experiment. Imagine three moving walkways with a person standing on each one. Now let the person on the left walkway walk forward in the same direction of the walkway, the person in the center stays standing, and the person on the right walk backward in the opposite direction. All three people are moving in the direction of walkway is going, but the two people walking are moving in that direction more quickly and less quickly respectively than the person at rest. When the plane is sitting on the ground, it is like the person standing still on the moving walkway. The two people walking in same direction and opposite direction of the walkway are like the plane in air.
Curious About Astronomy: Why can't a plane fly slowly and let the Earth pass underneath?

don't know if everyone agrees with Sarah (I do), but I can't speak for everyone on CC. However, no flat earth believers have come forth on this forum yet.....

This same force would occur if the Earth were still and everything was rotating around it. Right?

What gets me is a glass of water. If we were rotating and spinning around stuff and supposedly accelerating at the same speed as the rest of the Universe why can't we see it in a glass of water?

If you accelerate, even a little bit, you will see it in a level or a glass of water. There is absolutely no apparent movement.

no, but you'll have to give me a little time to find an experiment or model to show you why not. I"m leaving town to go visit my mom today and need to pack.

because the glass of water is accelerating too. its like when both you and the water is in the car. you don't see the water move but both you and the water are moving from one location to another with the same speed and direction while in the car.

mmm try the experiment of taking a glass of water with you in a car.

do you move?

Does the cup of water move?

Does it appear while you are in the car that the water is moving?

If you are in the car and accelerating you will see that the water in the glass does not stay level. It is only level when acceleration is zero. (Take the glass of water and start moving it, you will see what I mean).

Velocity can be 60 mph and both you and the water are moving but the water in the glass is level if you are not speeding up or slowing down.

I may not be explaining this well. It is the difference between velocity (movement) and acceleration (speeding up/slowing down).

002 Dr Robert Sungenis 'Geocentrism / Geocentric Cosmology' 8/11/2013

Published on Aug 20, 2013
Galileo Was Wrong: The Church Was Right is one of the most unique and penetrating books you will ever read. Now complete in Volumes I, II, and III, authors Robert Sungenis and Robert Bennett take you on a tour of science and history the likes of which you would have never believed possible unless it were told to you in detailed and graphic form. Has modern science led us down the primrose path and convinced us of something that they cannot prove and that is in actuality false? Were the Fathers, the Medievals, our popes and cardinals of the 17th century correct in believing that the Earth, based on a face value reading of Scripture, was standing still in the center of the universe? Come with an open mind and allow these two authors to show you facts and figures that have been hidden from the public for a very long time. This is a page turner that you will find hard to put down, once you get riveted by the astounding material these authors have assembled for you. Prepare yourself, however. Your world will be rocked, literally and figuratively. Not only will you see from Volume I how modern science has documented for us in bold fashion that the Earth is motionless in space and occupies the center of the universe (yet have done an equally remarkable job in keeping these important facts out of our educational system), you will now see in Volume II how deeply the popes of the 17th century were involved in condemning heliocentrism, guiding the process step-by-step and finally castigating it as "formally heretical." You will also see how effusive is the data in Scripture that teaches a geocentric universe in the most detailed exegesis of Holy Writ ever presented to the public on this topic. Lastly, Volume II offers detailed and comprehensive documentation of the consensus of the Church Fathers and Medieval theologians on geocentrism. It also covers all the statements and teachings of modern popes and councils, such as Gregory XVI, Benedict XIV, Pius VII, Leo XIII, Benedict XV, The Council of Trent, Vatican I, Vatican II, and a special section on John Paul II in his rexamination of the Galileo case. These are facts and analyses that every Catholic should avail himself. The most important thing you will receive from this astounding study is a very close relationship with God. For once you see that God, his Church, and Holy Scripture have given us the unadulterated truth, proven by modern science itself, you will have no choice but to put yourself completely in His trust and care for everything else in your life.

Official GEOCENTRICITY Website
ASSOCIATION FOR BIBLICAL ASTRONOMY


Of all the sciences, the Holy Bible has more to say about astronomy than any other. The Scripture speaks of the sun, moon, stars, the host of heaven, planets, and constellations. It talks about the heavens, the firmament, and tells us that the lights in the sky were made for the earth, for man, to give light by day and by night, to serve as signs, and to determine the seasons. The ancients, particularly the Jews, claim Adam as the first astronomer. They number Seth, Enoch, Shem, and Abraham among the greatest ancient astronomers. Major astronomical themes occur in Genesis, Numbers, Joshua, Judges, Job, Psalms, Amos, Luke, Hebrews, 1 & 2 Peter, Jude, and Revelation.

This site is devoted to the historical relationship between the Bible and astronomy. It assumes that whenever the two are at variance, it is always astronomy—that is, our "reading" of the "Book of Nature," not our reading of the Holy Bible—that is wrong. History bears consistent witness to the truth of that stance. In the case for Geocentricity, for instance, every experiment designed to measure the speed of the earth through space has always returned a speed of zero, just as the Bible claimed all along.

The dynamical description of the geocentric Universe

Luka Popov

University of Zagreb, Department of Physics, Bijeniˇcka cesta 32, Zagreb, Croatia
E-mail: [email protected]

Abstract. Using Mach’s principle, we will show that the observed diurnal and annual
motion of the Earth can just as well be accounted as the diurnal rotation and annual
revolution of the Universe around the fixed and centered Earth. This can be performed
by postulating the existence of vector and scalar potentials caused by the simultaneous
motion of the masses in the Universe, including the distant stars.

Stellar parallax in the Neo-Tychonian planetary system

Luka Popov

University of Zagreb, Department of Physics, Bijeniˇcka cesta 32, Zagreb, Croatia
E-mail: [email protected]

Abstract. The recent paper published in European Journal of Physics [1] aimed to
demonstrate the kinematical and dynamical equivalence of heliocentric and geocentric
systems. The work is performed in the Neo-Tychonian system, with key assumption
that orbits of distant masses around the Earth are synchronized with the Sun’s orbit.
Motion of Sun and Mars have been analysed, and the conclusion was reached that the
very fact of the accelerated motion of the Universe as a whole produces the so-called
“pseudo-potential” that not only explains the origin of the pseudo-forces, but also the
very motion of the celestial bodies as seen from the static Earth. After the paper was
published, the question was raised if that same potential can explain the motion of the
distant stars that are not affected by the Sun’s gravity (unlike Mars), and if it can be
used to reproduce the observation of the stellar parallax. The answer is found to be
positive
