Do you know that the Sun never rises and never sets ? .?

Question

We say that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west .this stament is based on the phenomenon we see every day .We the sun appearing in the horizen evedry morning in the directionwe call the east and sinking down in tehopposite direction we call the west .It is this impression tha tmade people believe that the solar system is geo-centric and the earth is in the center and the Sun is moving around it . It was this impressioin that was responsible for Galeleo being killed for confirming the finding of copernicus that the earth was going around the sun.Even before copernicus , Aryabhatta , the great Indian mathematician, said that the movement of the sun is just like the trees standing on the banks of a lake appearing to move away from us as we row oer a boat in th eriver .Thugh it was the boat that moves , it is the trees that on the bank that appear to move .Thesun is stationary .So it never rises or sets .

Ther is more to it that what is all said by our friends .Thequestion makes people think well and independently too.thegalaxy itself is moving and the directions we know are specifically in relation to the position of sun to the spin of the earth.But considering the movement of the earth around the sun in its orbit at the speed of 67000 miles per hour , the postion of th eearth in relation to the sun is in REALITY IN SPACE IS constantly changing and the east that was in one postion becomes south , then west and then North and again east , the south , thewest and the North and thus the direction contnues to change for ever.This too should be considered in a specifuic frame of reference as other wise there is no direction at all in space.the whole alaxy itself is spinning all the time and this movement itself should be changing the directions even if nothing else is spinning and everything else (sun, earth etc ) were stationary.-(though they are not ).

Answer 1

you are right, sun is not really rising and not really setting. but tell me something, considering the fact that one direction was called east to pointout rising and the other was called west to recgnize setting, does'nt it show a repeat track or a pattern of movement? try this with your clock. let us say, position of no3 is where the sun is stationed ie; east and position of no9 is where it sets ie; west. Now, if we try to rise and set the sun in our clock example, we will have to move the hour hands of the clock(minute or hour-any will do) from no3 to no9 that is in the anti-clock direction. which means even if we don't move the hands, the fact that people feel sun is rising from east and setting in the west is due to something moving in a fixed pattern like the hands of the clock in our example. In reality, it is the earth moving in this manner. It moves in a fixed direction from say no3 to no9 giving an illusion that the sun rises and sets. The atheists say GOD does not exist and that changing the names of these two directions of east and west in opposite turns will change this theory of the world and the sun will rise from west and set in east, meaning, in our example if we call no3 as west and no9 as east this will change the science of the world. i say no it will not because even then, the world will still be moving from no3 to no9. changing names will not change the pattern of movement, will it? I want to ask a question here, if this is happening by fluke, why does'nt the world start moving in say direction of no9 to no3, in our clock example? This shows this pattern is run by someone and people had developed a concept of rising and setting because of moving of earth in a fixed direction, that is from no3 to no9(in our example).

Answer 2

Whoa. I'm going to have to sit down and get my head around this one. Are you saying the sun doesn't move around the Earth? Man, this changes a few things... Next thing you know you'll be telling me the Earth isn't flat and was created 5 billion years ago.

But wait... you said the sun doesn't move... doesn't it circle the center of the galaxy? Nothing in the universe stands still! All motion and velocity is relative!

Answer 3

All of life is just a illusion that our minds create. Which of the many Gods that are worshiped here would be blessing me by the way. I would doubt it would be the one I pay homage to, as I pay homage to none but to the energy of creation that we all sprung forth from. Many Gods have been worshiped through out time as I believe in the future many more will be created to worship. Las Vegas Nevada

Answer 4

yes the sun is center and the earth revolves around the sun.

even in Hindu temples when u see navagrahas (planets) position the sun is in the center

Answer 5

You are right... but the sun is not "stationary" either. It only appears to be because of the distance. Of course we all know that. I hope so! :)

Answer 7

hi dude....instead of asking gave the ans also.....and ur rght...but 1 thng i would like to add tht.....there r various perceptions also which is religious but scientifically the sun also have a movement which is still to b discovered.

Answer 8

Galileo Galilei (please spell his name right). He died blind, and of old age.

Galileo never could confirm it, and was incapable of proving it in his lifetime. In fact, Galileo's model of the system was less capable of making accurate predictions than geo-centric men of his time. He proved nothing.

However, Kepler was able to prove predictible models using his system of elliptical orbits that were dead on accurate. Kepler was inspired by G.G., but G.G. was never able to prove anything. History proved him right, but he never could find the evidence to prove his system model.

Kepler deserves more credit and mention in your treatise above than GG does.

Answer 9

Right, It's the earth that revolves around the sun.

Answer 10

Galileo was not killed--he died of natural causes. But he was under house arrest at the time. And if he had confronted the church "authorities" much more strenuously, they probably would have killed him.
