It has been 'proven' that the Earth is a sphere, and that it revolves around the Sun.... but there are still at least thousands of people that believe otherwise. On the first point - yes, the magic 100% probably will not be reached on black holes - but 75% and climbing may be good enough for most of us forever :-) Your example of the earth being round may not quite be the best analogy, for two reasons - One - the earth *is* factually approximately spherical, and this can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt several different ways. Even the ancient Greeks knew it. There are some phenomenae and evidence for which there can be no other scientific explanation (the most stunning of which are direct photographs from space). People who choose to ignore it - well, it's their choice to be ignorant. Black holes may factually exist, but there are still other possible ways to explain the evidence that shows up, and until those ways are all discarded (and granted, they may be someday), black holes are still not quite there. Two - belief by 100% of the population, or any other fraction, is not a prerequisite for something, either a statement or a theory, being correct or factual. The earth is either round or it isn't, regardless of what people may choose to believe. Black holes either exist as postulated or they do not, irrespective of the opinions of us mere Newtonian-reference-frame mortals. It matters not whether people are around when the proverbial tree falls in the forest - it makes a sound, or at least the mechanical waves that, if heard, would be a sound. Bruce |

Earth is slightly pear shaped.
This has no significant effects other than the orbits of satellites. It doesn't cause any daily or seasonal changes which affect life on earth. Earth wobbles on it's axis. One wobble takes 26-thousand years. This too has no effect on the seasons or climate. It just changes the direction that the earth's axis points towards in space. Earth is gradually slowing down, that is why we sometimes add one second to the lenght of the year. This is caused by the tidal (gravitational) interaction of the earth and moon. The earth's rotation is slowing down and the moon is moving farther away from the earth in it's orbit. The solar system which Earth is in which is also in the Milky Way Galaxie is moving through Space at about 60,000 miles per hour. It's all relative. The earth is moving (rotating) at 1000-miles per hour at the equator. The earth revolves at about 66,000-mph in it's orbit around the sun. The solar system is revolving around the center of the galaxy at about 550,000-mph. Our Milky Way galaxy is moving through space at millions of miles per hour relative to most other galaxies but we are actually approaching the Andromeda galaxy, which is currently about 2-million light years away. (11,600,000-trillion miles) It will still take about 3-billion years before the big collison. http://tinyurl.com/2zlp44 Earth is closer to the Sun in Winter and further away from the Sun in Summer. This is true only for the northern hemisphere and it's not what causes the seasons. |

Not sure who's distance theories you're referring to but I was replying to the first poster's quote (above) about the distance of the sun from the earth during the (northern) summer and winter, which as you acknowledge, has nothing to do with the cause of the seasons. I misunderstood the statement that "It only applies to the Northern Hemisphere". The brain kept telling me that the whole planet is closer to the Sun in winter, not just the Northern half. The distance the planet is closer is far greater than the amount given by the precession. My fault..please accept my humble apologies. In fact the southern summer and winter tend to be more extreme because the earth happens to be closest and farthest from the sun respectively, during those seasons in the southern hemisphere. We happen to live in an era where this is the case. As the earth's axis precesses over a period of 26-thousand years, the seasons of the year when perihelion and aphelion occur in each hemisphere slowly shifts. In about 13-thousand years from now the situation will be reversed for each hemisphere. I'll have to verify that...must leave note...Where is my acid free papyrus..... mike |
