Movement of the Earth
Did you ever think about the way this earth moves through the galaxy? Lets describe some of them:
- The earth turns around itselves once a day.
- The earth turns around the sun once a year. Yeah right. There are four different methods to describe a year. See below.
- The earth 'wobbles' around his own axis. This is called precession. See below.
- The angle of the earth axis varies with the plane of the sun and the
planets. also, see below
these things are just to start with. There are more, although subtile, movements of the earth. Bus these three are difficult enough to start with, if you are not an expert on astronomy.
OK, a day is simple enough, it is the time it takes to turn the earth around one time, So that the same site (for example your city) is aligned with the sun as the day before. It doesnt make any difference that the sun moved into space in the same time, the definition of the day remains the same. But there will be a difference because of the variation of the rotation-speed of the earth. This will make a matter of fractions of seconds.
Then you have the year. What is a year? It is the time that the earth takes to make one round about the sun. But according to what? Beacause there are few definitions of this...You can measure the same position according to the sun, so you face, so to speak, 'the same face of the sun' This is the solar year. Then you have the year that the earth has moved to the exact position as last year, measured according to the stars. This is the siderial year, and differences about 20 minutes from the solar year. Then again, there is something like the tropical year, which is the point in space that the earth is closest to the sun. The difference to the solar year is also about 20 minutes.
In an even bigger move, the earth wobbles its tail. This is called in big words 'Precession of the equinoxes' This means that the eath axis makes a rotation too. According to most 'alternative archeology' sites this movement takes 25920 years. According to NASA it takes 'about 26000 years'
And then in a smaller movement there is the , what NASA calls the 'Obliquity cycle' (what a word). This means, that the axis of the earth is not straight up, but in an angle compared to the sun. This angle is now 25.9 degrees ? (to be verified). The 'Obliquity cycle' is the variation in this angle.
At the smallest level of movements there is 'nutation', this is the movement caused by the moon. This is good for 'errors' of a few meters
Here comes my point, a theorie i heve never seen before: When you have a spinning top, especially that magic toy where the top floats in the air because of a magnet, did you ever notice that it can become 'unstable' and then stable again? I mean, you have a spinning top. You spin it, and you notice that it spins like the earth. You also can notice that he spinning axis is not stable, but moves a bit in circles. This is called 'the precession of the equinoxes'. You can also notice that the radius of the circle what make the precession, varies a little. This is called the 'Obliquity cycle'. Mostly you see that the spinning top is coming to halt because 'Obliquity cycle' gets too big all of a sudden. But sometimes, you can notice that the 'Obliquity cycle' becomes unstable, to restore itself, and continuing the spin. Best show is for the 'magnetic spinners, which flow in the air because of the magnetic field below. So is it possible that this once happened to the earth? It new theorie, 'earth AXIS dislocation' is a good theory, i think, against 'earth crust dislocation' theories.
