Good evening my friends.

As I was watching the stars I was just wondering about things like this one.

I think, as the earth turn on itself 24 hours as we dedicated it for a day…
365 days around the sun for a year.
We are getting closer and closer to the solar system, as we had thrown a ball into it and every day we are getting closer to it, so this is what they call the global warming but it is just natural.
I think that we just go from one elevation to another which take maybe 50 years for some and 500 years for others and we are there.
The sun is a massive mass of energy which attract a whole amount of other massive mass. I believe it attracts everything to it and since we are part of it , attract us.

pete... dude - we went over this before - the mass of the sun DOES attract the mass of the earth. But it doesn't mean the earth is slowly getting closer to the sun.

Why do you think satellites don't fall towards earth all the time? They're in ORBIT.

The earth attracts the satellites but it doesn't necessarily pull them closer.

You need to understand the concept of an ORBIT, and acceleration.

Isn't it a bit paradoxical.
And the earth won't attract the satellites because they are much of the same mass I guess. The sun will attract them more than the earth can.
Plus we should discuss of this in my thread I think [url]For the TNFs in here Help me understand Cosmos[/url]Pete

The guy looks like a high school kid trying to give a speech to the class - but is not confident enough in the material to actually talk to the class...instead having to look down and read directly from their notes. Bush doesn't have the capacity to do a bit of 'speaking from the heart' regarding a disaster like this and that is really pathetic... His constant reading of virtually every scheduled statement he makes drives me nuts.

Yea I know. And it's tempting for me to make speculations about his seeming inability to identify with loss or tragedy. But I'm not a psychologist, and I honestly don't know everything the dolt has been through in his life. I know that he hasn't ever lost a mother or father - I believe he lost a sibling, but I think that might have been when he was too young to remember.

Whatever the reason, it seems like he has a genuinely hard time understanding the hardships of people. All his speeches - from 9/11 victims to soldiers' family members - just seem like well-written PR devices that say most of the right things. As long as he isn't put in a position where he has to ad-lib, he sounds fairly sincere.

Was talking about this before Katrina occur.
Nothing to do with the hurricane at the time but now it is a part of it I guess. Just watch the date of my post 18 of august.
It wasn't even in florida yet, in fact not mentioned of it anywhere arround here at least.
So this is an entire other subject.
Anyone else admit?
Pete

And you know what...
Is it the samething in your area?
We are talking more about the petroleum crisis and the increase in gas because of that catastrofy than what is happening with the people.
SHAME.
Pete

no pete - you're wrong on this. The earth is not hurtling toward the sun like a ball being thrown into a large object. Get rid of that metaphor in your mind - it's infecting your ability to see any other possibilities.

Pete you really need to get a grip on gravity and orbit...and how something can actually continually 'fall' while in orbit around another body.

To give you a simple example that might clarify a bit -
imagine that the earth was perfectly smooth, no mountains, no valleys, just flat and spherical. Now, imagine you could shoot a cannon such that the cannonball's trajectory as it fell would match the curvature of the earth. what would the cannonball do? it would continually oribit the planet (more or less).

Thanks bro.
But I have my theory.
Just have to work on it a bit more.
I want to elaborate on it more before to make it comprehend to everyone else but I am pretty pretty sure from what I have been observing, studying.
A lot of work to do but I am pretty sure I am on to something.
LOL at me I don't care much. No offense. I am patient and perseverent.

Thanks sir TNF.

If I can put it this way...
I once lived with a girl whom had a 2YOboy remember may be from an old post you made me cry He asked me all sorts of questions, super intelligent black boy. Wendell is his name. He asked me things like why do we see stars at night and not during the day...
Why is the neightbor madame's belly so big?

I don't know as a child with no instruction and living from life...I am a bit like a child who never studied in these area and have now a simplist though about it all. You understand what I mean?

To big.

Pete:

you also have to understand that there have been many ice ages in earth's past. So in order for this to fit with your theory, you'd need to have the earth falling toward the sun, then moving away, and back toward, and back away, like a yoyo.

doesn't make much sense eh

elliptical orbit

An elliptical orbit would mean that we would have an ice age every year. Which we kinda do, but it's called winter.

Not sure
You mean cold equal far away and normal equal closer and so on.
I didn't know that there were such though.
Pete

language may prove a barrier in this discussion, sadly.

an elliptical orbit would also mean we go closer and further away from ("like a yoyo"), but at the period of one year. don't forget that winter is different on each side of the hemisphere

Yea I was trying to Keep it Simple though!
