RE: Why do I beleive that the Earth is Flat?

in #world7 years ago

Plus the earth is not spinning very fast. Spin is not calculated in m/s, but in revolutions per minute, RPM. There is a reason for this and it's because moving at one rpm feels the same regardless of how 'fast' that spin is. And the spin of the earth is a PAINFULLY slow 0.000694 rpm. If you sat on a merry go round and had someone spin you at one revolution every 24 hours, you'd die of BOREDOM before you felt anything. It's the same way on earth. It's PAINFULLY slow. It's ONE HALF the rate of the hour hand on a clock. Making the clock hands bigger doesn't make the SPIN faster, even though the m/s would increase.

So, think about it. Take two clocks with hands: one small, one big. Put an ant on the hour hand of the first and an ant on the hour hand of the second. Do you think the ant feels like he's going fast on either one of them? And that is twice the spin of the earth.

It's simply unrealistic to think you'd feel anything with a spin so painfully and incredibly slow.

Then you said, "And think about star map. We see same shape over thousands of years in different position and direction. But the key point is they are in same shape."

No, they are not. There is an entire branch of science called Archeoastronomy that can date megalights by their alignment with ancient star alignments. We absolutely know that the constellations change. Just, again, painfully slow.
