3x Sun and Moon Orbit Post (I wouldn’t have to make new ones if I could talk in the original!)
@Grim
You seem to have a gross misunderstanding of science. There is experimental science, yes, but you seem to be forgetting about observational science—where one observes natural phenomena and tests models against what happens. We don’t need to push planets around to do science. We observe them, make predictions, and verify those predictions against reality. If your logic were true, we couldn’t study black holes, earthquakes, or dinosaur fossils—yet we do. Successfully.
You say that “each of your points are not scientific.”
Wrong. A scientific explanation must:
- Be based on observed evidence
- Make testable predictions
- Match what we see in reality
Since you’re confident my method is wrong (simply because you don’t agree), try these experiments to verify my points:
Earth’s rotation: You can build a Foucault pendulum and watch it swing in different directions depending on your latitude.
Gravity: You can measure the force between two objects in a lab (Cavendish experiment).
Earth’s tilt: Measure noon shadows—the Sun rises higher in summer, lower in winter. Also, opposite hemispheres have opposite seasons at the same time—only explainable via axial tilt.

I don’t expect a respectful reply, from you or this server. You will likely respond to this message with “LOL”s or claims that I’m making things up or am uneducated.
Look at yourselves.
You know, deep down, that you are fundamentally wrong. The Sun setting should be all it takes to convince you of that. (No, it’s not just due to rotation. The sun moves away from us due to rotation, and dips below the horizon—the point where the sky appears to meet the Earth—because of curvature. In your model, the Sun would continue to shrink in the sky as it gets closer to nighttime.)
Maybe once you stop confusing belief with understanding, you’ll come around—just like if you sailed around the Earth.

You need both observation and experiment. Its not either/or. You either follow the scientific method or you are doing pseudoscience.
You dont make predictions when it comes to the celestial bodies. You nake postdictions. The sky has repeating cycles, patterns, constellations. They happen over and over again.
So it not being science IS correct as you arwnt making any hypothesis. You arent even testing cause and effect as you cant.
Focault pendulum (a) assumes a cause for its precession then uses circular reasoning and (b) would mean that the earth stops and rotates the opposite way at times. See the allias effect.
Gravity hasnt been considered a force for over 100 years. Youre parroting the elementary version. Go get caught up before reguritating stories. Cavendish is (a) for the outdated Newtonian gravity you speak of where nothing is falling and thats the whole point. (B) Its not an experiment. (C) it has varying results
"Earths tilt" isnt measured by shadows. Its assumed and then length of shadows in different locations is uswd to calculate a size based on the assumption it is a ball.
"Hemispheres" is begging the question and since you forgot... explanations without verification are trash.
Your appeals to the future about a response of LOLs is false. Was that a globe prediction? RiP
You actually just went on to insult us here and then reaffirm your stories. Pathetic.
P.S.
Circles are flat
You can walk around your living room, its not a ball
