>>14993025I don't think you understand how slow the movement of the solar system is in comparison to the distance to polaris. We are moveing in the milkiway at a speed of 720000 km/h, whereas the distance to polaris is 4096180000000000km. So one year of travel by us is 0.000154% of that distance.
>>14993027Yes they do, there is research going on in what the fields are. Obviously. It's just that you don't read the scientific literature. Which is ok, not everyone has to be an expert on theoretycal physic. Just don't act smug and pretend you know better.

>>14993038Many people say it, so it must be true... that.. thats not how that works.
>>14993039“Bertrand Russell once gave a public lecture on the structure of the universe. Afterward he was approached by a woman
who told him that he was a very clever young man but much mistaken in his thinking, because everyone knew that
the world was flat and sat on the back of a turtle.
“When Russell asked her what the turtle was standing on, she replied, ‘You’re very clever, young man, very
clever. But it’s turtles all the way down!’
>>14993040That cloud thing is a consequence of how your eyes work. If you take a long exposure of the sky, you will see all the clouds illuminated in a decreasing manner. The larger the CCD sensor on your camera, the wider the strongly illuminated cloud coverage. That is because something being illuminated only becomes visible to you if the photons make it into your sensor.
>>14993042See, it goes down over the horizon. According to the flat earth model, it should shrink into a star, but you would still see it. it wouldn't disapear. There is a size change, but that is because of refraction. However at the end of the day, the sun goes over the horizon. The point where a semi circle is seen of the sun over the horizin definitively disprouves the flat earth model.
