Bronte: "Edg, it appears that you see me as stupid."
Edg:
Nooooooooo! Lacking information, er, ya, but ain't nothing to do with
your IQ. I lack tons of information in every field.
Bronte:
It's just that when you question if a person can't see the difference
betweeen two obviously different things, like pole shift and reverse rotation,
you appear to presume they're stupid. But thanks for clearing that up.
Edg:
There is no known spinning ball that comes to a halt and then starts up again
without some sort of physical mechanism to be a basis of it, and if
there were such, I'm pretty sure I would have read about it long ago.
Not that it is impossible to imagine, but it would be rarest of the
rare in most cases.
Bronte:
You're probably right. But what if the earth is a living being, a person so
to speak, who spins by volition? More like a dancer twirling than something set
in motion by something else. What if she spins for fun? And chooses to change
the direction of her dance every now and then? I'm just postulating.
Bronte: "Possibly, but I don't see how a meteor hitting the earth
would be perceived as the sun rising."
Edg: If somehow, some patch of land survived and somehow
some person survived the fiery conditions, then, yes, they'd see the
"sun stop" or "sun reverse its path." I didn't intend to mean that a meteor
would be glowing like a sun and be mistaken for the sun.
Bronte:
Good thinking through of that, Edg. Now it makes sense to me.
Edg:
So any slowing of the earth's spin has to be over a long time, say, one mile
per hour off of the 1000 MPHspin rate decreased per day -- so three years to
stop the earth spinning -- that or risk having a world wide tsunami.
Bronte:
If what you say is true, and if it's also true that the earth is going to
reverse its rotation, then we should expect to see days lasting more than 24
hours by the year 2009. Interesting!
Edg:
As for your anti-guru posts --
Bronte:
Let's leave that for another discussion. By the way, when the other day I
complimented you on your brain and your humor, I wasn't missing the fact that
you also demonstrate considerable heart and a real bent for poetry. I'm
enjoying the full package.
