Stars Spin in Direction Differently in the Far Northern Hemisphere than They Do inI
the Far Southern Hemisphere.
love this post, although talk of spinning makes me feel I need lie down
It is worth taking note that one can prove the Earth is a sphere by the fact that we can see the stars spinning in one direction on the Northern Hemisphere and yet we can see the stars spinning in the opposite direction on the Southern Hemisphere. You can contact people in these different hemispheres and get them to record footage for you (without letting them know your intentions to prove a round or flat Earth).
There is actually a more simpler way to check this without contacting a bunch of people if you like. Try spinning while you stand (either on ice or with your own two feet on the ground).
Take one of your hands and point to the direction of where you are going to spin while you are on your two feet.
Look up at the ceiling (as you spin).
and visualize an imaginary clock on the ceiling above you as you spin.
Keep your hand pointing in the direction of the spin as you do this. Do you notice the imaginary clock spinning clock wise or counter clock wise?
Make a mental note to yourself if you see that the direction of your spin matches the hands of an analog clock going forward or backwards.
Now, look down:
Keep your hand in the same direction pointing (where you kept the same spin of direction from before):
Now star spinning on your two feet again or spin while you ice skate:
Important Note: Please keep your hand towards the same direction you pointed from the previous spin.
Now, imagine an imaginary analog clock at your feet as you spin.
Does the hands of the clock move clock wise or counter clock wise as you spin in the same direction as when you looked up at the ceiling?
If you did the experiment correctly, you will notice that the hands of the imaginary clock in your mind on the ceiling would be different than when you looked down at your imaginary analog clock on the ground.
This is the same reason why stars spin in different directions when looking at them in the Northern hemisphere vs. the Southern hemisphere.
I hope this helps somebody today.
May God bless you all.
With loving kindness to you in Christ,
