Thread: There is no physical "pole shift." (Update: There is still no physical "pole shift.") Yeah, right. Argument from incredulity is a logical fallacy. Prove me wrong Volar. You claim to have a telescope with identical optics, you could make the same exact measurement with identical resolution without even polar aligning the telescope. The actual method simply calls for you to point it at the north celestial pole and leave the tracking off for about half an hour while you take a picture. What could be easier? Put up or shut up time pal. |

Up until two years ago, the sun would go behind a 100-foor plus tree at about 3:35 in the afternoon, putting shade on one particular lawn chair. Two years ago, I noticed the shade of the tree reaching the chair around 4:15 pm. The tree is still growing, so the shade should have been coming a minute earlier if anything.

LOL - sidestepping the debate doesn't make you right I'm afraid. And I think the majority of educated people would agree that I'm right, when shown the data. If debating would be easy, why are you so determined to avoid it? If you have actual data which shows increasing earthquake and volcanic activity, then why not post it, or post a link to it? That would prove once and for all that we "debunkers" are wrong. That alone would give your claims a huge boost. However, if this is more of a "belief" you have that activity has increased, then of course you can't prove it. You can cling to irrational beliefs only for so long, and one day you'll have to face the reality that you were wrong. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7483567 United Kingdom 12/21/2011 01:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And yet Polaris is still at, or very close to the north celestial pole - less than a degree from it. Quoting: Nobody in Explain... How the fuck do you know that? How did you measure that? Simples! It's easily measurable by anyone who has a camera that can do long-ish exposures, or can at least be adjusted to photograph stars. Just point it at the north celestial pole, and either take a time exposure, or a series of shots over a period of time. Since the stars move in circles around the celestial pole it's very easy to see that Polaris is still doing the same, and with a bit of simple maths you can work out how far away it is. And when you do that you find it's still at the correct distance, which it wouldn't be if the earth's rotational axis had changed. Of course, as before, I don't expect anyone who "believes" in the pole shift will actually do any measurements, or even try to observe the movement of Polaris. I'm beginning to doubt if there's any evidence that could be presented that would actually convince them they're wrong... |
