I'm just trying to see how you see me. Really. I promise no smart ass rebuttals.

Try this, it's a great tension release for those "bang you head against the wall" days!

But I submit that Archimedes had hashed out what weight and buoyancy was way before this balderdash of Newton came along, Newton came up with his fairy tale to try to explain the impossibility of us all living on a spinning ball that rotates 1000 miles an hour, while blasting around the sun at 67000 miles an hour and hurtling through the universe at 2 million miles an hour, it is complete insanity. Meanwhile the moon would have to speed up and slow down to accommadate this rubbish, which we do not observe.

Ok guys why do we never see the dark side of the moon from earth?

Is that it?? I was trying to click on the "this" for bloody ages then, I'm quite stoned cos I've had a break for a bit, I thought it was a link to some sort of relaxation technique or something cos the mouse on my laptop is dodgy and I thought it had given out on me! Then I noticed the disco lights and came right back down to earth. And it was oblate.

Addendum:
The stars do not make sense either, if we were blasting through the universe at such speeds, the star constellations would change shape due to our different position in the universe.

You suffer from solipsism, everything is moving in relation to everything else not in relation to yourself

Come on guys, look at this shit! Somebody is obviously pulling our leg or having us off or whatever you Brits say.

Ok, everything is moving then, so why do we see the same constellations?

See, I know this has been answered already. Shit, I've got a much better understanding of it all myself from having read the answers in this thread, never mind some of the videos and links I've gone off to look at. So I don't feel any need to rehash the information, and to be honest I couldn't explain it half so well as it has been already.

Thanks Cannacat, I'll read it over and we can discuss it after.

Ok they say the moon used to rotate faster but now it just perfectly matches, ''slowed the rotational period of the moon to match that of it's orbit.''
How clean and neat. Consider the odds of that happening perfectly and then consider the odds that the sun from 93 million miles away happens to perfectly appear to be the same size as the moon when viewed from earth. As evidenced during a solar eclipse. I guess that's why they call it astronomical odds right?
"So why can we only see one side of the moon from Earth? We all know that the Earth rotates on its own axis, so theoretically, the Moon should also do the same, allowing us to get a full picture of the planetoid. Why are we limited to seeing only 50 percent? It turns out that the speed at which the Moon rotates has led to this particular phenomenon. Millions of years ago, the Moon spun at a much faster pace than it does now. However, the gravitational influence of the Earth has gradually acted upon the Moon to slow its rotation down, in the same way that the much smaller gravitational influence of the Moon acts upon the Earth to create tides. This influence slowed the rotational period of the Moon to match that of its orbit – about 27.3 days – and it is now "locked in" to this period. (Note that to observers on earth a full moon cycle takes 29.5 days. See Understanding the moon phases).""

I'm waiting on that proof of gravity.

Sorry man but Gravity is very well proven by observation and measurement, your unique-to-you belief in a seriously deranged theory makes me believe you to be a fantasist of low intellect and basically a deceptive attention seeker
