Us homo sapiens will believe anything. Look around - do you really think we're hurtling through space? Here's a chapter from The Earth is Flat: Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid: |
Spin Doctors
The earth is said to be spinning at a rate of over 1,000 miles per hour on an invisible axis. The earth is said to be rotating around the sun at over 67,000 miles per hour, causing us to whip through the Milky Way galaxy at over 500,000 miles per hour.
All the while, the Milky Way galaxy is purportedly expanding at the speed of light, traveling roughly 670 million miles per hour.
With the earth purportedly traversing over 21 million miles per day, one would expect vertigo and dizziness to be a way of life, but that is not the case.
Webmd.com describes the causes of motion sickness:
You get motion sickness when one part of your balance-sensing system (your inner ear , eyes, and sensory nerves) senses that your body is moving, but the other parts don't. For example, if you are in the cabin of a moving ship, your inner ear may sense the motion of waves, but your eyes don't see any movement. This conflict between the senses causes motion sickness.
We experience motion sickness from trains, from planes, in cars, on elevators; in all situations where motion is involved, but not from the motion of the rapidly-spinning earth.
In a Cornell University article titled ‘Can we feel the Earth spin?’ explains why we are oblivious to the incessant spin of the earth:
At the equator, the Earth is spinning at 1000 miles per hour about its axis and moving at 67,000 miles per hour around the Sun. With all this motion, you would expect to feel something, right? Well we don't feel anything because all of the motions are almost completely constant.
When you take a really smooth plane or train ride, you don't feel the motion unless the plane/train slows down, speeds up, or hits a bump in the road. So as long as there is constant motion, we don't feel it.
The article goes on to compare the earth’s spin to an “amusement park ride”:
Above we said that the Earth spinning is an example of almost constant motion. The reason we said "almost" is that the Earth's spin carries us around in a circle, not in a straight line. It's a very big circle, and it takes a long time to go around, but qualitatively it is the same thing that happens on a spinning amusement park ride, where it feels like you're being flung outward as the ride spins around.
We accept these conclusions because that is what we’ve been taught, but they defy our common sense and logic.
When riding a merry-go-round, the spin is apparent. If we imagine an ant on a large merry-go-round, or a human on an extremely large merry-go-round, it would always be obvious to the subject that they are in-motion.
The current model of a spinning-ball earth has no basis in reality.
Don’t Mind the Wobble
Not only is the earth supposedly spinning at over 1,000 miles per hour, we’re also told that it’s wobbling.
In an April, 2016 nasa.gov article titled ‘NASA Study Solves Two Mysteries About Wobbling Earth’, NASA explains the wobble:
Earth does not always spin on an axis running through its poles. Instead, it wobbles irregularly over time, drifting toward North America throughout most of the 20th Century. That direction has changed drastically due to changes in water mass on Earth.
NASA describes how the “irregular” wobble has “changed drastically,” but still not enough for one person on earth to be able to notice it.
The article continues to explain a recent “abrupt turn” of the “spin axis”:
Around the year 2000, Earth's spin axis took an abrupt turn toward the east and is now drifting almost twice as fast as before, at a rate of almost 7 inches (17 centimeters) a year. "It's no longer moving toward Hudson Bay, but instead toward the British Isles," said Adhikari. "That's a massive swing." Adhikari and Ivins set out to explain this unexpected change.
