Why would you go through such gyrations to say that the Moon orbits Earth over the same time that it rotates?
Actually, Menow, that's NOT what I was saying.
It doesn't rotate when it's considered as revolving around the Earth; and it doesn't revolve around the Earth when it's considered as rotating.
This is what -- it seems -- you didn't ever understand.
Quoting: mclarek 986233You mean, that no one else has been pounded into submission by you into accepting that convoluted nonsense. Why, after being so blatantly wrong in your understanding of such motions(the Moon will move in ever widening circles if released from Earth orbit), to you have the temerity to believe that YOU need to explain these things to me?
Physically stopping the Moon around the Sun (as you pointed out) would be different, for the force relationships would change and the tidal relationship would change and the Moon would rotate in our view, but ...
Quoting: mclarek 986233Huh? MUST you continue to mangle this expanation over and over and over again?
CONSIDERING the layers of motion relationships (superposition) of CURRENT motion, merely eliminates each type of effect -- to understand, separate each one. The TOTALITY is what's going on in fact, but each layer is the understanding of a new relative motion.
Quoting: mclarek 986233Obsess much, Clare?
In this sense, each layer is not merely viewpoint but it may relate to what each view will tell you. For instance, we see one face of the Moon. But there's a reason: if the Sun and Earth are considered as fixed points, then revolution is what the Moon exhibits, from any viewpoint, not just the Earth's. :)
Quoting: mclarek 986233Do you realize that when you ramble on like this, that NO ONE BUT YOU has the slightest idea what you are talking about?
But if we consider the E-M system going forward, relative to the Sun, then from all points except from the Earth, the Moon will show a sine wave and turning (rotating).
Quoting: mclarek 986233See above.
So, the Moon doesn't rotate as it orbits, not technically.
Quoting: mclarek 986233Is that so... According to you and Einstein, I suppose?
It rotates OR orbits ... both are accurate but they are different understandings.
Quoting: mclarek 986233Only in the depths of your obsessive mind, Clare.
Which is "the truth"? Nonsensical question: both are true but referring to different levels of superposition.
Quoting: mclarek 986233It's really quite simple, Clare. The Moon rotates. Nancy and "Zetas" claim it does not. She is deluded and 'they' are lying.
So what other astronomical claims of Nancy's would you like to try to defend?
