The earth is a spinning globe

Thank you for accepting this challenge, and thanks in advance for our voters. The proofs offered are great examples, but seismic waves are far from empirical evidence. Aristotle was one of the greatest geniuses of ancient Greece. He was the tutor of Alexander the Great and a prolific writer. He believed in a spherical and IMMOVABLE earth. Before Galileo, people who believed in an earth centered universe were called Aristotelians. Aristotle may have been a genius when it came to philosophy - especially logic - but he didnt know squat about science. Sure, we cant excel in every field we try our hand in, but Aristotles massive errors arent just a personal embarrassment to him - they directly hampered scientific progress for close to 2,000 years because most of what he claimed in the scientific world was assumed as fact from day one. His views included the heart as the center of thought and emotion, plants were not separate in sexes, which remained "fact" until 1700 when botanists stated the obvious, he was wrong about inertia, and when Democritus proposed the universe was made of many tiny particles called atoms, Aristotle said the idea was ridiculous, and continued to teach that everything was made of small amounts of each of the four elements. I wonder how far science would have progressed if Aristotle had stuck to philosophy... 1) seismic waves Please explain how this relates to the shape of the earth in detail. Are the results 100% correct or reliable considering we've not even broke through the crust? How do the scientist know when these waves are slowed, distorted, even reflected from an inner layer? In not an expert in this field, and if in correct in my assumptions the science would probably assume the the earth is a globe when taking measurements. 2) Lunar eclipses While it is reasonable to say that lunar eclipses show a round shadow on the moon, this theory can be shown in a number of ways to be flawed. A) Selenelions have been recorded for centuries. These occurrences happen when a person or persons are close enough to both the sun and moon, allowing the person to see both celestial bodies above the horizon. This would be impossible if the earth were directly between the two, as to cause a perfect alignment over the combined distance of almost 94 million miles. However, on a flat earth, with both bodies being equal distances away from the viewer, both inside the point of convergence, that is, in front of the vanishing point, this part of the phenomenon makes sense. https://youtu.be... B) Blood moons are also a proof against the earth causing a shadow on the moon. Nowhere in the history of science has a shadow been red and bright, as the blood moon clearly does. The earth from space shows a mostly blue planet with a blue aura, we can logically deduce (due to several factors mentioned in comination) that the earth does not block the earth's light on the moon. C) Lunar eclipses prove that the moon "orbits" the earth in about 24 hours!! Lunar eclipses can only occur at the time of the full moon and the fast moving moon can clear the earth's shadow in about 7 hours. A typical total lunar eclipse lasts about 1 hour and the moon clears the penumbra or shadow of the earth in about 7 hours. That means that the moon has moved about 1/4 way around the earth in about 7 hours. A typical total lunar eclipse lasts about 1 hour and the moon clears the penumbra or shadow of the earth in about 7 hours. Lunar eclipses occurs when the moon passes through the shadow of the earth. When the moon is within the umbra (or darkest) part of the earth's shadow, it is illuminated only by the light refracted through the earth's atmosphere. This light is usually orange or brick-red. Totality, the length of time the moon is totally within the umbra, may last as long as 1 hour and 40 minutes. Before the moon moves into the umbra, it passes through an area of partial illumination, called the penumbra. In the penumbra, the moon appears nearly the same as when it's in the full light of the sun. The passage of the moon through the penumbra takes about 7 hours. The heliocentric theory has a monthly orbit of the moon only!! The heliocentric theory ignores the DAILY orbit of the moon and allows for a monthly orbit only!! On closer examination, this proves to be a deadly counterfeit system because it cannot account for the movement of the moon during an eclipse. Here is a quote from the Encyclopedia Britannica: "The Moon rotates about its own axis in 27.322 days, which is also the time that it takes to complete ONE orbit around the Earth. As a result, the Moon always presents nearly the same face to the Earth. Whereas the actual rate of rotation is uniform, the distance through which the Moon moves in its orbit from day to day varies somewhat. Accordingly, the face that the Moon turns to Earth is subject to a corresponding cyclical variation, the lunar globe oscillating slightly (as seen over time by a terrestrial observer) with a period nearly equal to that of revolution. The amount of this apparent oscillation, which is called libration, is commonly between 6 and 7 degrees." (New Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. 17, p. 299). The heliocentric theory IGNORES the moon's daily orbit and cannot account for the rapid movement of the moon during a lunar eclipse. The heliocentric system has the moon moving very, very slowly around the earth. One month is required to complete its orbit. This ignoring of the moon's daily orbit is done in order to get the earth rotating. The heliocentric theory IGNORES the moon's daily orbit and cannot account for the rapid movement of the moon during a lunar eclipse. The moon is supposed to move at a speed of about 2,000 mph (3,219 km) or about 13" per day to an observer on earth. D) Predictability The current method used to predict these occurrences is based on the ancient world's method of cycles instead of one based on celestial mechanics. Using these basic observations, we can assume that more research needs to be done (or brought to light) as to why the lunar eclipse happens. The ancients blame an entity called Rahu, and it's not The first time we've heard about "invisible celestial bodies" The moon obviously moves, we see it move across the sky most every night. It is your model that pretends it hardly moves, and in the opposite direction to boot! The moon orbits the center of the universe, just like the sun and stars. The center being magnetic. It goes far enough away from us to be past the vanishing point. The moon appears the same, (aside from size, color and the direction you view it from, (depending on which hemisplane you are in) which means it can't be a sphere, surely, some would see more of it than those in the other hemisphere, and vice versa just as any two who were looking at a ball from different angles at a distance. The moon, in this way, represents a disc for many reasons. Possibly even a reflection on or under liquid. Which could possibly explain the many lunar waves recorded, and the strange appearance of stars recorded with the Nikon p900.
