joeman Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) The difference isn't "a few miles". It actually adds up to about 1745 km (1084.3 miles). That's a 15 degree difference, which is huge compared to your original 26 degrees. And to be frank, the numbers don't add up to 26 degrees anywhere. At all. If this is "child's play", it should be easy to answer, so please do. Okay, you still don't get it. I'll try to make it as elementary as possible. IN this instance it not important how far the axis has moved. What's important in this instance is when you add the additional 26 degree shift in earth's axis with the other anomalies it suggest earth's orbit around the sun is destabilizing, sir. The normal position of the earth's axis was 23.5 degrees, and now it has moved to 49.5 degrees, and that a difference of 26 degree, which is about a thousand mile, or so increase from its original position. On another note, I've always found that the most credible science is communicated using massive, multi-colored, and arbitrarily changing fonts. You made it clear you don't agree with the evidence, I appreciate your time, sir. Joeman It seems you have spent 30 years looking at this idea. I will see that 30 years and raise you 4000 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge Still taking bets? I fail to see the relationship stone hinge has with global warming? And be careful carbon dating is not an exact science. Carbon dating is based in conjecture. Edited February 21, 2013 by joeman -3
John Cuthber Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 For a start, learn some maths. 26 degrees is about 1800 miles, but that's hardly the point. If the poles + equator had moved that much then, just for a start, your satellite dish would be pointing in the wrong direction. Seriously, how come Stonehenge still lines up with the sun at the Solstice? How come Sundials still face the sun, just like they did when they were installed?

You give 4 sources for the 49.5 degrees. None of them says the Earth is leaning that much. One of them talks about the effects of such a shift, but that's as close as it gets. I looked through your sources for all of your claims, and, amusingly, none of them support your theories. Coupled with your thread on evolution, I can only agree that you're not being serious, and any discussion would be utterly pointless.

SamBridge Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Its because they believe greenhouse gases is the caused for global warming. They are set in their ways. This is a battle for the lives of everyone on this planet. One side is saying global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, and the other side is saying global warming is caused by the earth's orbit around the sun destabilizing. One thing you better understand if I lose everyone loses in the future. Believe me I'm all for saving the future that's why I'm researching technology to that will stop meteors as well as help terrestrial species when our galaxy collides with Andromeda but I don't think Earth's destabilizing orbit is a large factor in global temperature increase.

MY VIEWS ON EVOLUTION ARE FACTS. NONSENSICAL So far, you've only supported them with appeal to ridicule and strawmen, so I'd say your views on evolution are logically devoid. Both components of your argument are not actually a challenge to evolutionary theory, and each are actually encompassed, or even complimentary to its support. a) conserved functional genes across broad organismal groups is actually evidence for common ancestry, not against. b) Intra-population divergence, rather than being contrary to evolutionary theory, is a fundamental component thereof. Variation at the level of the individual is essential to the process. Edited February 21, 2013 by Arete

One gentlemen ask you a similar question. He ask, " If the earth has shifted on it axis, then why is the sun still directly over head". REPLY; You all forget the sun is hundreds of millions of times larger, than earth a few degree movement, or a thousand mile movement of earth is not going to real register where the sun is concern, you need to find a smaller object in the sky. This 26 degree additional shift in earth's axis effect the seasons. Look for seasonal deviation in the climate. The 26 degree shift in earth axis has expose the southern part of the northern hemisphere to the sun, and the winters here are warm, and sunny. the earth is too large to use as a marker. a 26 degree shift will still expose your area to the sun.

If you are using the enormous sun as a gauge to monitor orbital deviations, then no 26 degree shift will not make a difference with the sun in relation with earth.

swansont Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Magnetic north pole and rotational axis are two very, very, very, very, very, very different things. REPLY: I'm aware of this, and your point is? My points is that you are making claims about the axis and basing it on the location of the magnetic north pole. "axis" is not mentioned in that article.Not once. REPLY: No the article doesn't directly mention the 26 degree shift, but I believe that the earth magnetic field moves as the earth's axis moves. And the chandler's wobble has moved from 1909 thru 2001 as a result of the axis moving. i believe these anomaly are indicators of the additional 26 degree shift in Earth's axis. This is all the scientific evidence I have for how. No, it doesn't. Here's a link to the direction the north pole points, i.e. the axis change. People measure this because they have to know the earth's orientation to know where satellites are (e.g. GPS satellites, whose positioning precision depends on this knowledge) http://maia.usno.navy.mil/whatiseop.html Notice how the variation of the pole orientation is constrained to be less than a half second of arc from 2000-2009. That's 1/7200 of a degree. You can also see the "wobble" over time. Even if you reject this evidence you certainly can't deny the other anomalies I point out. Ah, the "shotgun" approach. Shoot enough bullshit buckshot and hope that something hits. That's almost the opposite of how science works. This 26 degree additional shift in earth's axis effect the seasons. Look for seasonal deviation in the climate. The 26 degree shift in earth axis has expose the southern part of the northern hemisphere to the sun, and the winters here are warm, and sunny. You could go outside and measure the angle of the sun above the horizon at solar noon. This, along with the equation of time, will tell you what the angle of the earth's pole is. It's a fairly simple experiment and would definitively show you to be right or wrong. You're asking people to believe your BS, when they can simply look outside and see that you are wrong. The sun isn't where your claim demands it should be. It's not a subtle error here. It's huge. The question is, will you do this experiment?
joeman Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Seriously, how come Stonehenge still lines up with the sun at the Solstice? Because the sun is so large, and the earth is so close that a few degree will not mis-align the sun in relation to the earth, or any structure. The shifting of the earth effects the seasons.

Again, changes in the relative angle of the earth to the sun produce substantial changes in the observed angle between the earth and the sun.

Let's keep it simple, so I'll understand better. Look at the illustrations on the website below, it better illustrates seasonal changes of the earth. Both hemispheres receives light, but only receives direct solar radiation. http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/climate/cli_seasons.html Use your mental visualization, and the website I posted to see what I'm saying. When its summer in the southern hemisphere, its winter in the northern hemisphere, and the northern hemisphere is facing away from the sun. Now, if the north pole moves an addition 26 degrees toward the sun the southern part of the northern hemisphere will receive direct solar radiation, causing the winters in this region to experience spring, and summer like conditions, do you understand? When it summer in the northern hemisphere, and the sun is use to determine if the earth's axis moved an addition 26 degrees an astronomer wouldn't have to make dramatic adjustments to his telescope, because the sun it so large, or for the skies at night, because the skies are, so large. And in the scheme of things 26 degree additional shift of the earth axis is not dramatic. If the axis has shifted, joeman, can you explain to me why the stars at night still appear to revolve around Polaris? From your position on earth you have a view of the sky that spans for hundreds of thousands of light year in many directions. A small shift in the earth's axis will not mis-align your view of the north star, nor would this small shift would stop other stars from circling it, In my humble opinion.

EVERYBODY understands. That's not the problem. More tilt = warmer summers. You are trying to reverse the situation, though, and warmer summers ≠ more tilt. There are a number of possible reasons for warmer summers. So we look for other data, such as the actual position of the sun (or the stars) and we see that it has not moved from where it's supposed to be. When it summer in the northern hemisphere, and the sun is use to determine if the earth's axis moved an addition 26 degrees an astronomer wouldn't have to make dramatic adjustments to his telescope, because the sun it so large, or for the skies at night, because the skies are, so large. And in the scheme of things 26 degree additional shift of the earth axis is not dramatic. The sun does not subtend 26 degrees of arc, and we can make pretty precise measurements, so this is a pretty lame argument. 26 degrees would be very noticeable. It's more than the difference between the position of the sun at equinox and solstice.
